We’re dedicated to your care! What constitutes a dental emergency? Being able to recognize the warning signs of a dental emergency can help you determine when it's time to seek urgent care. Here are several indicators that suggest a visit to the dentist is necessary for an emergency. 1. Intense Tooth Pain: Ongoing and severe tooth pain is a strong signal that something is amiss and needs urgent attention. Toothaches may stem from issues such as cavities, infections, abscesses, or even cracked teeth. When the pain becomes unbearable, it’s essential to seek professional assistance without delay. 2. Dislodged Tooth: Time is of the essence if a tooth has been completely knocked out. The likelihood of saving a tooth is highest if you can see a dentist within the first hour. If a tooth is knocked out, rinse it gently with water (do not scrub it) and keep it in milk or saliva until your dental appointment. 3. Chipped or Fractured Tooth: A chipped or fractured tooth can expose sensitive nerves and heighten the risk of infection. While waiting for dental care, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the area to alleviate swelling. 4. Inflammation or Abscess: Swelling in your face, gums, or jaw, especially alongside a bump on the gums, may signal an abscessed tooth. Dental abscesses are severe infections that necessitate immediate medical intervention to prevent spreading to other body parts. Contact your dentist right away. 5. Uncontrollable Bleeding: Uncontrollable and excessive bleeding from your mouth, regardless of the cause, is an emergency that requires prompt dental attention. Continuous bleeding could indicate issues with blood vessels or inadequate post-operative care. Seek assistance immediately.
"Welcoming, professional and respectful of patients levels of anxiety/ and distress regarding dental procedures. The staff takes excellent care in the comfort of patients. Questions are answered respectfully. Warmth and concern are expressed approximately. This is a practice that builds relationships between professional staff and their patients- who are not just “passing through” but are part of the practice- which is not so large that one feels like a number- not an individual."
