Do I Need Urgent Dental Care?
A dental emergency may occur for several reasons. Some patients need immediate treatment after injuring their lips in a violent event, such as a vehicle accident or sports injury. Others may need rapid treatment due to a deteriorating acute or chronic disease.
Other causes for seeking emergency dental treatment include:
- Teeth knocked out
- Toothache
- A tooth that has been broken, fractured or chipped
- A missing filling, crown, or bridge
- Lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums cut or torn
- Abscess
- A severe or unexpected toothache
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, get in touch with our dental clinic as soon as possible.
Don’t hesitate to contact the office if your case is not stated above and you are unclear if you need emergency treatment. A courteous staff member would happily speak with you over the phone to establish your dental requirements.
What Should I Do If I Unintentionally Knock A Tooth Out?
If you knock out a tooth, you should visit our dentist immediately. Receiving correct treatment within 30 minutes might be the difference between preserving your tooth and losing it.
Try to find your knocked-out tooth before coming to the clinic. If you locate it, clean it with lukewarm water while being cautious not to touch the tooth by its roots; only touch the crown while handling your teeth.
You should carry the tooth in a glass of milk or saliva to keep the roots from drying. Our emergency dentists will attempt to reinstall the tooth into its socket when you come to the appointment. If he cannot do so, he may talk about tooth-replacement options, such as dental implants.
