If you have any questions about dental emergencies, we’ve got answers. View all FAQs.
A dental emergency is any situation where you’re in pain, suffering from embarrassment, or have a visibly broken or infected tooth. Not all dental emergencies are painful. If you’re unable to eat or go about your normal daily activities, you need to see an emergency dentist.
Most dental emergencies are preventable. Here are some healthy steps to take to reduce your family’s risk of a dental emergency or injury:
- Maintain good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
- Attend routine dental check-ups and cleanings
- Wear a mouthguard during sports activities
- Avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite hard objects
- Address dental issues promptly before they escalate
- Immediate Pain Relief: Emergency dentistry focuses on relieving pain and discomfort quickly.
- Preventing Complications: Early treatment can prevent more serious problems, such as infections or tooth loss.
- Restoring Functionality: Addresses issues that may affect your ability to eat, speak, or go about your daily activities.
In some instances, your emergency dental situation may be so severe that it first warrants emergency medical attention at your nearest hospital or medical facility. Some conditions that fall under this category include:
- Abscess that has caused extreme swelling of the face.
- Broken or dislocated jaw.
- Extreme damage to your soft oral tissues.
Immediately locate your tooth and store it in a sealed container, with milk or contact solution covering the entire surface. If the tooth is completely knocked out, be sure not to touch the root. You can gently rinse away any visible debris as long as you do not touch or scrub the root surfaces. Completely knocked-out teeth can also be placed back into the socket in some cases. If you reinsert a tooth, be sure to apply firm pressure to the area until you make it to our office.
The best thing to do for a toothache is to rinse with warm salt water and take Motrin (ibuprofen) as directed to manage swelling and discomfort. If possible, you can also apply a cold compress to that side of your face to ease inflammation and pain. For fast pain relief, contact Elite Dentistry immediately.
After we get you out of pain, we can discuss which types of treatments are available for your situation. Our office offers flexible payment options for every budget. We will also work with your insurance carrier to maximize the benefits allowed under your plan.
Absolutely not. Here at Elite Dentistry, we will never charge our patients extra for emergency treatment. We are here to help you get the treatment you need at regular costs.
