How We Treat Dental Emergencies

To be honest, there’s no mystery behind emergency dental treatment. Our practice can even walk you through its details right now. In particular, the process involves:

  • A Same-Day Visit – When you call, we’ll schedule your visit for the earliest time possible. (It could even happen the same day!) Our team will then offer care tips over the phone while you wait.
  • An Emergency Exam – Once you arrive at our office, our dentists will assess your mouth. Doing so lets us learn your problem and how to relieve your pain.
  • Review of Findings – We’ll share our findings after the exam, suggesting some procedures along the way. Our team will then draft a treatment plan using your feedback, as well as the cost and time it would require.
  • Proper Dental Care – We’ll quickly repair your smile after drafting the treatment plan. At that time, you can trust our team to do an amazing job! From dental crowns and fillings to root canals and more, we’ll provide everything needed for your smile to heal and recover.

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

As stated before, you should call our office when you have a dental emergency. Our team will schedule a visit for you and make your smile strong again. Still, you can do a few things to manage your situation before you see us. These steps would even make your final treatment smoother and easier.

Very Sensitive Teeth

Are Very Sensitive Teeth a Dental Emergency? Not necessarily. One easy way to tell if you should schedule an emergency appointment is by assessing your symptoms. For example, if they are getting worse with each passing day, you should call us ASAP.

How You Should Handle Very Sensitive Teeth Switching to a desensitizing toothpaste is a great first step. We also recommend not drinking hot coffee, ice-cold water, or anything else that could exacerbate your symptoms. You can also take OTC pain medication as directed (if needed).

How We Treat Very Sensitive Teeth Dental sensitivity could be the result of everything from a small cavity to a severe infection. That’s why the initial exam is so important! Once we know what the root of the problem is, we can determine which restorative treatment (or treatments) are needed.

Knocked-Out Tooth

How You Should Handle a Knocked-Out Tooth Calling us is an important first step. In addition to scheduling an appointment at our office, we will walk you through how to preserve the tooth – from picking it up by the crown to placing it in a clean container filled with milk.

How We Treat Knocked-Out Teeth If you get to our office within the hour and your tooth is in good condition, there’s a good chance we’ll be able to save it.

Lost Filling or Crown

Is a Lost Filling or Crown a Dental Emergency? Since your tooth is vulnerable to damage without the restoration securely in place, we do recommend scheduling an appointment with us the same day. If that’s not possible, don’t worry – we will walk you through what to do until you arrive.

How You Should Handle a Lost Filling or Crown In addition to placing your restoration in a small, clean container for safekeeping, we recommend doing what you can to protect your tooth from harm. That starts with rinsing periodically with clean, room-temperature water and extends to not chewing on that side of your mouth.

How We Treat Lost Fillings or Crowns Oftentimes, we recommend replacing your existing restoration with a new one. That said, we will review all of your treatment options at your visit so you can decide what’s best for your smile.

Because dental emergencies differ, their treatment prices tend to vary. You can only get a precise estimate by consulting our dentists; they’ll confirm your final expense. That said, don’t worry – we’ll make your care as affordable as possible! Our team will guide you through your treatment’s relevant price factors, dental insurance, and helpful payment options. To learn more about the cost of dental emergencies, please call us or book a visit.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

As it happens, there are steps you can take to make dental emergencies less likely. Some of the best ones are:

  • At least twice daily, brush your teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste.
  • Floss between all of your teeth every day.
  • Every six months or so, visit your dentist for checkups and cleanings.
  • Wear an athletic mouthguard when playing intense sports.
  • Don’t use your teeth as tools; use the appropriate equipment.
