Does My Situation Count as an Emergency?
It can be challenging to know whether your situation constitutes a dental emergency. For example, a toothache may not be considered a dental emergency, but it can be a sign of a more extensive problem like a tooth infection. We recommend that you contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. Our dental team will use various technology like x-rays to examine your smile and determine the source of your pain and discomfort. It's also important to remember that the earlier our dentists can address your situation, the less likely it is that your situation will escalate.
Some of the most common situations that are categorized as dental emergencies include:
- A severe toothache that prevents you from focusing on anything but the discomfort
- A tooth that's been knocked out
- An extensive fracture to your tooth
- Pus coming from the base of your tooth
- Persistent swelling of the gums
Relieving Severe Tooth Pain
If you experience tooth pain that lasts for hours, we recommend that you schedule an appointment. Tooth pain can range from feeling like your tooth is throbbing to sudden, sharp pains. Our team can provide immediate relief from tooth pain and get to the bottom of why you're experiencing it in the first place. To help manage your pain before you see our team, you can use over-the-counter painkillers, including ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Additionally, if you have swelling around your gums, you can apply a cold compress to your cheek to help keep it down before your appointment.
Repairing Broken Teeth
Although a chipped or broken tooth may not present immediate pain, the chance of bacteria entering your tooth and reaching its dental pulp is high. Your tooth's dental pulp contains sensitive nerves and blood vessels needed to create and grow teeth. Before your emergency appointment, you can help prevent potential infection by applying dental adhesive to the area, which is available at pharmacies and grocery stores. Whether an entire section or a small part of your tooth has come off, soak it in milk, and bring it to your appointment.
Providing Quick & Effective Evaluations
Our practice understands the sudden and unpredictable nature of dental emergencies. That's why a hallmark of our practice is providing same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Whether you're a new or previous patient, we'll try to alleviate your pain and improve your oral health as soon as possible. Also, if you experience a dental emergency on a Saturday, our practice offers Saturday hours so you don't have to wait until Monday to be seen.
