Emergency Dental Care
There are few things worse than a tooth abscess that’s throbbing or a filling that came out at just the wrong time. We provide emergency dental care to our patients to handle these urgent issues. Your dental emergency is our priority and we’re ready to help whenever life throws you a curveball.
Types of Emergency Care
Accidents are a common cause of dental needs that can’t wait. Knocked out or broken teeth that happen due to a sporting or adventure-related activity are one of the most frequent reasons for receiving emergency dental care. Depending on the severity and placement of the injury, chipping or cracking a tooth during an activity may also necessitate emergency care.
Other conditions, such as large cavities or cracked teeth, are common causes of pain and the need for emergency dental attention. Often these conditions exist for quite some time before they become symptomatic, but when they do become symptomatic, they can be extremely painful. This is one of the reasons we recommend routine detailed exams to find these conditions before they become painful.
The failure of previously installed dental work is sometimes the cause of emergency situations also. Dental restorations don’t always last forever, and sometimes choose just the wrong time to break or become loose. Infections in teeth or abscesses that have become inflamed need to be taken care of immediately.
