What constitutes a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, regardless of your oral care routine. It is unfortunate that these emergencies often cause severe pain and discomfort for patients. Therefore, it is crucial to seek treatment as soon as you detect any issues. Our clinic provides a relaxed and comfortable environment for patients of all ages, ensuring effective treatment.
Why is seeking treatment for a Dental Emergency important?
Without prompt and appropriate treatment, a dental emergency can rapidly deteriorate. Even a seemingly minor issue can quickly escalate into a serious problem. In certain instances, infections may arise, necessitating treatment in addition to addressing the initial emergency. That is why we strongly advise seeking swift and proper care without delay.
What are common Dental Emergencies?
On any given day, we encounter various dental emergencies. Therefore, we strongly advise you to schedule an appointment as soon as you notice any issues. Some of the frequently encountered emergencies include:
Experiencing intense toothache and pain
Dealing with abscesses and infections
Broken or cracked teeth
Lost fillings, crowns or bridge work
Appliances such as dentures or night guards that are damaged or misplaced
What to expect during Dental Emergency treatment?
To begin, we will inquire about the issue you are currently facing in order to assess the need for an x-ray. If deemed necessary, we will promptly and effortlessly proceed with the x-ray procedure. By examining the x-ray and your teeth, we can identify the underlying cause of the problem. Subsequently, we will administer appropriate treatment during your visit to prevent any further deterioration. In case of an active infection during your appointment, we may prescribe antibiotics to address it.
