A dental emergency can happen when you least expect it, causing pain, discomfort or concern about your oral health. At our office, we prioritize your wellbeing and understand the urgency of such situations. If you encounter a dental emergency, we encourage you to contact us immediately. Our dedicated team will strive to schedule you for a same-day appointment to ensure you receive prompt and effective care.
Dental emergencies come in many forms, and our experienced dentists and team are equipped to handle a wide range of urgent issues. Common emergencies include:
- Severe toothaches: Persistent pain or sensitivity can indicate an underlying problem that requires immediate attention.
- Lost dental restorations: Whether it is a crown, filling or bridge, a lost restoration can expose your tooth to further damage or infection. Depending on your situation and the restoration that is lost or damaged, our dentists may even be able to provide you with a same-day repair or replacement using our CEREC technology. We will discuss your options with you during your emergency appointment.
- Soft tissue injuries: Cuts, lacerations, or punctures to your gums, lips, cheeks or tongue need prompt care to prevent infection and promote healing.
- Cracked or fractured teeth: A cracked tooth can lead to significant pain and may worsen if not treated promptly.
- Chipped or broken teeth: Even minor chips can cause discomfort and affect the appearance of your smile.
- Knocked-out teeth: If a tooth is completely dislodged, time is of the essence. Immediate care increases the chances of saving the tooth.
In any dental emergency, it is essential to stay calm and take steps to protect your oral health until you can see us. If you have sustained head or neck trauma, or if you believe your injury may be life-threatening, we recommend seeking medical attention at an emergency room before visiting our office, even if your smile is also damaged. Your safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities.
We are here to provide you with the care and guidance you need during a dental emergency. Please do not hesitate to contact us for immediate assistance or to learn more about how we can help you protect your smile in urgent situations.
