Emergency Care
Tooth fell out? Broken tooth? Get it fixed quickly.
Is it a Dental Emergency?
Every year, more than 25 million Americans seek emergency dental care due to an injury or illness. For example, every day more than 100 people die of tooth problems, which is why it’s important that you seek immediate help if you’ve lost a tooth or have an abscessed tooth. Additionally, hospitalization rates for tooth pain are higher than for any other ailment.
Broken Tooth
If you’ve broken or chipped your tooth, go to the dentist as soon as possible. Luckily, most broken teeth can be repaired with dental work. In order to properly diagnose your tooth, the dentist will ask you where the pain is and how it feels. The dentist may also ask questions about any previous dental work or teeth that have been removed.
Toothache
You may not be aware of how serious tooth pain can be, but it is actually often a sign of an underlying infection or more serious dental emergency. You should visit your dentist as soon as possible if you are experiencing any type of tooth pain.
Knocked-Out Tooth
You should not be afraid to go to the dentist if you have a tooth knocked out. The first thing that you should do is rinse your mouth out with water or milk, then place the tooth back in its socket. Otherwise, go to the dentist immediately because it can lead to infection.
Object Stuck Between Teeth
One of the most common oral injuries is when a person gets something stuck between their teeth. This is often followed by an immediate panic to remove the object so it doesn’t get wedged even deeper. But what should you do if it’s not coming out on its own? It’s time to call for help!
Lost Crown
Many things can happen to your teeth that may lead you to lose a crown, which means the top of your tooth is broken off. Once this happens, we will have to work hard to try and save the rest of your tooth and restore it.
Abscess
In most cases, an abscess can be treated with antibiotics, but in some instances it may need surgical removal that includes draining the infection and filling the cavity where the tooth was with artificial material.
