I Think it's an Emergency.
What should I do?

With emergency dental care, it is crucial to act fast. However, determining if there is a genuine emergency is tricky. If there is any sort of continuous pain, that is indeed something not normal. If you are unsure as to why this is occurring or why you aren’t able to deal with it yourself, it is essential to look for external help. If you’ve injured your mouth or teeth, contact your dentist immediately. A knocked-out tooth or destroyed dental work are emergencies. If you are still uncertain, kindly contact our team, and we will be more than glad to assist you in resolving the doubts and provide you with some self-help.

The Benefits Of Emergency Dentistry

Pain Relief

At any point in time, do not fret. With the help of emergency dentistry, pain can be discarded so you can live without discomfort and with a smile.

Bite Restoration

Get your smile back with the right restoration of your cracked, chipped, or missing teeth.

Prevent Complications

Addressing problems while they are manageable and treatable is of utmost importance. If left unattended, tooth infections or broken teeth can lead to much more complex issues.

What to do in a dental Emergency?

  • Relax and Reduce Bleeding

Any kind of dental injury, regardless of how minor it is, could end up changing a perfectly normal day into a painful and stressful day. Try taking a few deep breaths; it will be easier to make the right decisions regarding the injury or accident. If the dental injury is bleeding, then it is advisable to apply pressure on the injured area by using some clean gauze. Try to keep the gauze in place so that you are able to minimize the bleeding until you get proper treatment at our office.

  • Regulate
    Swelling

Pain can be relieved, and swelling can be temporarily reduced with pain-relieving medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Do not use blood thinners like aspirin because these may worsen the bleeding. With regards to medication, pain can be alleviated further by applying a cold compress, like an ice pack, to the cheek or lip of the painful site.

  • Contact Us at the Earliest

Once you have a handle on your emergency dental care, contact us immediately. If you are unsure of the emergency level, a team member will quickly assess the injury, and an appointment will be arranged soon. Therefore, you will be able to get the treatment you need to manage the pain and get your tooth healthy once again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore these frequently asked questions, or contact us to talk with our team.

What Is The Approach To A Dislodged Tooth?

After finding the lost tooth, hold it by the crown, avoiding the root to prevent damage. Gently attempt to reinsert it. If unsuccessful, place it in cold milk to keep it hydrated. Aim to replace the tooth within 1-2 hours to preserve bone and tissue.

What should I do if my dental work comes off?

If you’ve lost a filling or crown, act quickly. Schedule an appointment to prevent complications. Bring the lost dental work in a clean bag or container to your emergency dentistry visit for proper care.

What should I do in case of an extreme toothache?

Toothaches lasting over two days require emergency dental care, indicating possible infection. An appointment will be scheduled, and in the meantime, you may use OTC pain relievers and cold compresses for relief.

What should I do when a tooth is chipped, broken, or cracked?

Evaluating damage from a broken or chipped tooth requires professional emergency dental care. Timely care prevents complications like infection. We collaborate to restore your healthy smile and provide guidance for any pain or discomfort you experience.

What can I do if my tooth is loose?

If dental trauma causes a loose tooth, call us immediately. Timely treatment is crucial to prevent nerve damage and tooth loss. Once booked, keep the tooth stable; Dr. Shah will use a splint to secure it during your visit.
