We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful and painful, but don’t worry; we’re here to help! Our emergency care services are designed to provide prompt relief and prevent further damage.
A dental emergency is any issue that requires immediate attention to alleviate pain and prevent further damage. These things can happen at any time, so we offer emergency care to ensure you get the treatment you need when you need it. Some of the most common dental emergencies include:
Ignoring a dental emergency can seriously affect your oral and overall health. For instance, a severe untreated toothache can eventually lead to tooth loss or the need for a root canal. Similarly, a cracked or broken tooth that’s not repaired promptly can worsen and eventually require extraction.
In addition to pain and discomfort, dental emergencies can lead to infections that can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. This is especially true for abscesses, which can be life-threatening if the infection spreads to the bloodstream.
Our emergency dentist is highly trained to promptly and effectively treat many dental emergencies. Once you tell us your symptoms, we’ll take x-rays and examinations to determine the problem. Based on our findings, we’ll use specific techniques or other procedures to address issues and relieve pain.
