We understand the distress of losing or hurting a tooth. It’s never a good time. This need not be a problem, as we are here to offer advice and support 24/7.
It is important to emphasize that a medical doctor should check any trauma or injury sustained to the head or face. It is essential to ensure you have not sustained a physical injury, potentially causing unseen da 54pmage or concussion, before seeking help for dental repair. If you are in any doubt, it is always best to dial 911 for advice.
Sporting and other activities are one of the most common causes of dental emergencies, for adults and children. Automobile accidents, big and small can also easily lead to dental impact. As soon as your physical health has been checked, call us to fix any dental issues.
If you or someone close to you has lost or broken a tooth, or have sudden onset severe dental pain, get in touch without delay. It is sometimes possible to replace, even an adult tooth, though this will depend on the nature of the injury, and the type of tooth. If you have knocked a tooth out, place it in milk, and the patient’s saliva until you can reach the dental office. Carefully check around the area to ensure there are no pieces of broken tooth left in the mouth, as this can cause choking. Rinse the area gently, with salt or plain water and spit out to wash away any blood and debris.
In most cases, it’s sufficient to take over the counter pain medication, and use hot and cold compresses until you can get to the dental office in the morning, but if you have worries out of hours (especially if you are a concerned parent) call us to ensure you are taking the right steps to increase comfort levels and the chances of a fast recovery.
You may have experienced a cosmetic dentistry emergency. If you have lost a veneer, crown, or other dental prosthesis, especially right before an important event, we urge you to get in touch as soon as possible. Do not be tempted to use any kind of superglue, or domestic adhesive. These will not successfully glue your cosmetic dentistry, and can easily damage the porcelain or ceramic, as well as surrounding oral tissue. Applying inappropriate substances to veneers and dental crowns can render them unusable, and unable to be reaffixed at the dental office.
Typical out of hours emergencies include: • A broken tooth, crown, or Dental Bridges • One or more teeth lost as a result of trauma • Intense toothache • Increased acute sensitivity • Any swelling or redness in the face or mouth • Bleeding or pus coming from any part of the mouth • Loose or broken braces
Don’t think you have to suffer in silence because you are currently without dental insurance. Often it’s because a patient has not seen a dentist for some time that a dormant issue has flared up. This is a good time to get your dental health back on track. We can alleviate your immediate problem and make sure you are not in pain. A good first step is to thoroughly brush, floss and rinse your teeth and mouth. This can sometimes lessen the pain until you are able to see a dentist. With multiple payment options available, let us guide you through setting up a prepayment, in-house financing, or a CreditCare account. We can also help you navigate any government-assisted program you may be eligible for.
The dentist will always attempt to save the tooth before resorting to extraction. If a tooth is causing pain or is damaged or become dislodged, the dentist will examine the tooth and surrounding area thoroughly to establish which options are open to you. Deciding upon the tooth replacement option you select before the extraction is performed (if necessary) will enable you and your dentist to make a dental plan before commencing treatment. In many cases, abrupt dental pain can occur as a result of infection developing in a tooth. This can be caused by a crack or decay; which has enabled bacteria to enter the tooth attacking the root and pulp. In many cases it can be saved with root canal treatment and sealed closed until a permanent dental crown has been fabricated to sit above the gum line. As soon as your dentist has performed a dental exam and x-rays, they will be able to advise if your tooth can be saved and what treatment they recommend.
Your dentist and hygienist work in unison to protect and maintain the health and strength of your teeth. Monitoring your gum and oral health and ensuring you are reaching every part of your mouth and teeth when you are brushing and flossing at home is of paramount importance to the hygienist. They will identify any vulnerable areas showing indicators of potential decay and guide the floss in your hands to make sure you’re aware of and paying close attention to those areas.
Studies have shown that individuals, who don’t visit the dentist regularly, are more likely to require emergency dental treatment than those who have regular check ups, and cleaning and scaling. Not only does the regular check up with the dentist mean any emerging issues are caught early, but it also enables your regular cleaning with the hygienist to eradicate tartar build up that could otherwise lead to decay or infection. If it’s been a little while since you last saw a dentis; no matter how long; make an appointment to come and see us for a general dental check up. Establishing the overall health of your teeth and mouth and ensuring your teeth are clean and free of build up, bacteria and gum disease; will significantly reduce the likelihood of you needing a costly out-of-the-blue treatment to treat severe dental pain.
