Don't continue with dental pain each day, visit our office and receive the necessary care as soon as possible.
When a dental emergency strikes, you need prompt and immediate dental care. Waiting too long can cause the oral health issue or damage to only get worse. Whether it is an infection, chipped tooth, or an empty socket from a knocked-out tooth, call us right away.
We offer services within extended hours and weekend availability so you can receive emergency dental treatment when you need it. From the moment you damage a tooth or experience a dental accident, it is crucial to seek treatment. For instance, we might be able to return a knocked-out tooth to its socket if we provide treatment soon enough after the tooth falls out.
A chipped tooth can risk exposing the dentin, or inner layer of the tooth, to plaque and infection. If the dentin becomes infected, then it will cause significant pain. Even hot or cold beverages can cause sensitivity in the dentin from the exposure.
If you experience a dental emergency, call us right away. We can provide guidance on how to proceed. If you damage a tooth, try to find the broken piece or entire tooth that fell out. Place the piece, or tooth, in a cup after rinsing it with water.
Please do not attempt to place a tooth back into the socket without instruction from us or a dental professional. When you arrive at our practice, we will provide the necessary treatment and go over any steps for recovery.
Call us to receive the immediate dental care you need and take care of your teeth for a healthy smile.
