Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Dental emergencies can vary widely in severity, but all require prompt attention to prevent further complications. Some of the most common emergencies we treat include:
- Severe Toothaches: Persistent, sharp or throbbing tooth pain could indicate an infection or decay that needs immediate care.
- Lost Dental Restorations: A dislodged crown or filling can leave your tooth vulnerable and should be addressed promptly.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Whether due to an injury or biting down on something hard, a damaged tooth should be assessed to prevent further damage or discomfort.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Time is critical for saving a knocked-out tooth. Bring the tooth to our office in a clean container with milk or saliva for the best chance of reattachment.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or lacerations to the tongue, cheeks or gums may require professional attention to control bleeding and prevent infection.
