What are Emergency Dental Services?
Common Dental Emergencies Treated
- Severe Toothache or Abscess: Persistent or intense tooth pain can be a sign of infection or decay. We provide prompt treatment to relieve pain and address the underlying issue.
- Broken, Chipped, or Knocked-Out Teeth: Accidents can happen, leading to broken or knocked-out teeth. We offer immediate care to save your tooth and restore your smile.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: If a filling or crown falls out, it can expose the tooth to further damage. We can replace the lost restoration to protect your tooth.
- Swollen or Bleeding Gums: Unexplained swelling or bleeding gums could indicate a serious issue. Our team will assess and treat the problem to prevent further complications.
- Emergency Tooth Extractions: If the tooth cannot be saved, we perform emergency extractions to alleviate pain and prevent the spread of infection.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
- For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the crown of the tooh (the part you chew with) and try not to touch the root. Give it a gentle rinse with water if need be, and attempt to place it back in the socket. If not, store it in a container of milk or saline solution and bring it to the dentist immediately.
- For Severe Toothache: Give your mouth a rinse with warm water and try floss to remove any food particles stuck between the teeth. If swelling is present, place a cold compress on the outside of your mouth or cheek.
- For a Broken Tooth: Rinse out your mouth with water to clean the affected area. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and pain, and bring any broken pieces of the tooth with you to the dentist.
