Emergency dental care is essential for addressing urgent dental problems that require immediate attention to prevent further complications or discomfort. Unlike routine dental visits, emergency care focuses on managing acute issues that arise suddenly and need swift intervention. Whether it's severe pain, trauma, or sudden loss of a tooth, our team is here to provide the necessary treatment to stabilize your condition and get you back to feeling your best.

Types of Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies come in various forms, each requiring specific treatments to address the problem effectively. Here are some common types of dental emergencies and the solutions we offer:

Severe Toothache

A persistent and intense toothache can result from cavities, infection, or other underlying issues. It often causes significant discomfort and may interfere with daily activities. We start by identifying the cause of the pain through a thorough examination and X-rays. Treatment may involve addressing cavities with fillings, performing root canal therapy to resolve infections, or prescribing medication to manage pain and inflammation.

Broken or Chipped Teeth

Accidents or injuries can lead to broken or chipped teeth, which may affect both the tooth's function and appearance. Depending on the extent of the damage, we offer various treatments, such as dental bonding to repair minor chips, crowns to restore broken teeth, or veneers to improve the tooth's appearance. Immediate care helps prevent further damage and restores functionality.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Losing a tooth due to trauma can be distressing. Quick action is crucial to increase the chances of saving the tooth. If you've knocked out a tooth, retrieve it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and place it in a container of milk or saline. Contact us immediately for an emergency visit. We may reinsert the tooth into its socket or use a dental implant if it cannot be saved.

Gum Infections or Abscesses

An abscess or infection in the gums can cause swelling, pain, and sometimes fever. It often indicates a serious underlying issue that needs prompt treatment. We will drain the abscess if necessary, prescribe antibiotics to manage the infection and address the root cause, such as performing a root canal or treating gum disease. Proper care helps resolve the infection and prevent complications.

Loose or Lost Fillings and Crowns

Losing a filling or crown can expose the tooth to bacteria and increase the risk of decay and sensitivity. We can provide a temporary solution to protect the exposed tooth and schedule a follow-up appointment to replace or repair the lost restoration. Our goal is to restore the tooth's function and protect it from further damage.
