Dental emergencies can arise unexpectedly, and when they do, prompt and effective care is essential. At our family dental practice, we are dedicated to providing immediate assistance for a wide range of dental emergencies to ensure that you and your family receive the care you need as quickly as possible.
Dental emergencies can include:
- Broken or Chipped Teeth: Accidents or injuries can lead to broken or chipped teeth, which may cause pain and affect your smile. Immediate treatment can prevent further damage and restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: A cracked or fractured tooth can be painful and may lead to more serious issues if not addressed promptly. We offer quick solutions to manage the pain and protect the tooth from further harm.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: If a tooth is knocked out, it is crucial to seek dental help immediately. Keep the tooth clean and place it back into the socket if possible or store it in a container of milk until you can see our dentist.
- Lost Dental Restorations: Losing a dental filling or crown can compromise your oral health and comfort. Contact us right away to get guidance on how to manage the situation and schedule a visit for a replacement.
- Severe Toothaches: Persistent tooth pain can indicate underlying issues such as infection or decay. We can provide relief from the pain and address the root cause of the problem.
- Injured Soft Tissue: Injuries to the tongue, gums, cheeks or lips may require urgent care. Rinse the area with warm salt water and apply gentle pressure to control bleeding.
If you experience any of these dental emergencies, contact our office immediately. We will provide you with instructions on how to manage your situation until you can come in for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment. For severe trauma involving the head or neck, seek emergency medical care first before visiting us.
