Common Dental Emergencies We Can Help With
Severe Toothache
There are several things that can cause a toothache, including something stuck in your tooth or a bacterial infection. Toothaches can be incredibly painful and prohibit one from eating, drinking, or sleeping. A severe toothache will not get better on its own, only through professional dental care can it be cured. Here are some common symptoms of a severe toothache:
- Sharp, throbbing pain in the tooth area
- Swelling around the tooth
- Fever or headache
- Foul-tasting drainage from the tooth in pain
- Bad breath
If you are experiencing a severe toothache, call our office to be seen right away. Our terrific team will get you in right away and will provide an immediate treatment plan so you can be free from pain as soon as possible.
Chipped, Broken, or Cracked Tooth
Teeth can be chipped, broken, or cracked due to a forceful blow to the mouth, by chewing something that is too hard, or by excessive wear and tear. Damaging a tooth in this way can cause initial pain and ongoing discomfort. It can also make eating and speaking difficult. It is important to receive professional dental care to repair a broken tooth.
If you have a broken, cracked, or chipped tooth don’t wait to call our office. We will get you in as soon as possible to repair the damage and restore your smile.
Tooth Knocked Out
A powerful blow to the face can knock out a tooth, or multiple, and cause great pain to the area. It is crucial to seek urgent dental care right away as parts of the tooth may still be stuck in the gums and can cause continued pain and even an infection. Call any of our office locations and our team will get you in and repair your smile in no time.
Dental Abscess
Dental abscesses are collections of pus that form inside the teeth, gums, or bones that hold the teeth in place and are caused by bacterial infection. A dental abscess can be incredibly painful and can spread, causing even further damage and pain. Eating, drinking, and speaking can be very agitating to the abscesses and cause additional pain to the area.
If you believe you have a dental abscess, call our office to receive same-day emergency dentistry during business hours. Our team will make you a priority and will help alleviate the pain you are experiencing and treat the abscess. If left untreated, abscesses can spread to other parts of the body and cause even more pain and discomfort.
