What Is an Emergency Dentist?
An emergency dentist provides urgent care for patients with dental emergencies like severely broken teeth, lost fillings, severe toothaches, and other issues requiring immediate attention.
What Dental Situations Require a Trip to The Emergency Dentist?
If you are experiencing minor toothaches, small chips in your teeth, or minor dental trauma, these issues can be addressed at a later time. However, if you are noticing any of the symptoms listed below, it is important to seek emergency dental care immediately to prevent further damage and discomfort:
1. Severe Toothache
If you are experiencing a severe toothache, especially if there is swelling, fever, or other symptoms present, it may be a sign of a serious dental issue such as abscesses or tooth infections that require immediate attention. Please visit our emergency dentist promptly for an evaluation and potential emergency treatment such as root canal therapy or tooth extraction.
2. Badly Cracked Teeth
If you notice a small crack in your tooth, it is usually not a cause for alarm and can be addressed when convenient for you. But if the crack is more serious, it is crucial to schedule an appointment with our emergency dentist right away for treatment with a dental crown or other restoration methods. Severe cracks in teeth can result in intense pain, sensitivity, and possible infection if left untreated.
3. Knocked Out Tooth
If a tooth gets knocked out, it is important to act quickly and seek emergency dental treatment immediately. Seeing a dentist as soon as possible increases the chances of saving the tooth. While waiting for your appointment, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or back in its socket. Do not touch the root and avoid scrubbing the tooth.
4. Severe Soft Tissue Injury
If you have a cut, laceration, or puncture in your gums, tongue, or cheeks, please contact our emergency dentist immediately. We can arrange a same-day appointment for you. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and apply pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or gauze to help stop the bleeding. You can also use a cold compress to reduce bleeding and swelling.
Tips for Preventing Future Dental Emergencies
To avoid dental emergencies, make sure to practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental checkups. It's important to wear a mouth guard during contact sports or activities that could lead to dental injuries. Avoid sticky or crunchy foods that may cause damage to your teeth.
