At Shoppingtown Dental, we understand that dental emergencies can be stressful and require immediate attention. Here’s what you need to know about dental emergencies and when to seek urgent dental care.
Severe Toothache
If you experience intense pain that doesn’t subside with over-the-counter pain relief, please contact us immediately for an evaluation and treatment.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Prompt emergency dental care increases the chances of saving the tooth. In the meantime, try to place the tooth back in its socket without touching the root, or keep it in a container of milk or saliva.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A broken or cracked tooth can cause significant pain and leave your tooth vulnerable to infection.
Abscess or Infection
An abscess is an infection in the gum or tooth root that can cause swelling, fever and a bad taste in the mouth. An untreated abscess can spread to other parts of the body, making prompt treatment vital.
Loose or Lost Dental Restoration
If a crown, filling or bridge becomes loose or falls out, we encourage you to please see your dentist promptly.
Uncontrollable Bleeding
Seek immediate care to address the cause of the bleeding and prevent complications.
