Dental Emergencies
One of the first steps you need to take during any dental emergency is to call our office and let us know what happened. Describe your symptoms in as much detail as possible so that we have a clear idea of what kind of situation you’re in. We’ll give you some advice for performing first aid and set up an appointment as soon as possible. The following may occur that we can address as soon as possible at our office:
Preventing Dental Emergencies
Brushing, flossing, and attending your routine checkups and cleanings can go a long way towards preventing dental emergencies linked to poor oral hygiene. As for keeping your smile safe from physical trauma, while you can’t avoid every accident, you can avoid bad habits that wear down and weaken your enamel, such as chewing your fingernails or tearing open packages with your teeth. If you play sports or grind your teeth, invest in a high-quality personalized mouthguard.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy is nothing to be afraid of. Your mouth will be anesthetized for the entire procedure, so you’ll experience practically no discomfort. If anything, the treatment will help you find relief from the pain of a severe dental infection. The process involves removing diseased or injured dental pulp along with any harmful bacteria. This not only relieves your discomfort but stops the damage from spreading any further.
Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction might be required if a tooth has been broken beyond the point where it can be repaired; it might also be the only option for treating severe decay. And of course, if you have a wisdom tooth that has become impacted in your mouth or is otherwise causing problems, an extraction is often the best solution. Once the tooth has been gently removed, we can help you explore replacement options.
