Emergency Dental Care
What is Considered a Dental Emergency?
It is important to seek out treatment if you think you are experiencing a dental emergency. Different dental emergencies can be caused for various reasons, such as trauma, infection, or decay. It’s not just about the pain; it’s about preventing further damage and infection. Common types of dental emergencies include:
-
- Knocked-Out Teeth: If you’re in a situation where your tooth gets knocked out, don’t panic. Pick up the tooth carefully without touching its root, rinse the tooth without scrubbing, and reinsert the tooth in the socket if possible.
- Excessive Bleeding: Accidents, gum diseases, etc., can cause excessive bleeding. Emergency dental care can help discover and treat the underlying cause.
- Severe Pain: Severe dental pain can be discomforting, and when over-the-counter pain medication is not working, please visit our dental office.
Broken or Chipped Teeth: Left untreated, broken or chipped teeth can lead to further damage and infection. We provide quick and effective repairs to replace damaged teeth. - Infection: Dental infections can be serious and require immediate treatment. If you’re experiencing signs of an infection, such as swelling, fever, or severe pain, seek emergency dental care immediately.
- Jaw Swelling: Infections, jaw tumors, injuries, tooth extraction, etc., can cause jaw swellings. If left untreated, jaw swelling can worsen and cause swallowing and breathing difficulties.
