What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If you experience a dental emergency, it's important to seek care as quickly as possible. Dental emergencies can include severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, broken, chipped, infected, or abscessed tooth, or a soft tissue injury. If you require urgent care, please contact our office immediately. Meanwhile, here are some general guidelines for common dental emergencies:
- Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or severe pain may indicate an infection or other serious issue. Contact us immediately for an appointment.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: If a tooth is knocked out, try to place it back in its socket without touching the root. If that's not possible, keep the affected tooth moist in a container of milk or saliva and seek emergency care right away.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth: Save any pieces of the tooth and rinse your mouth gently with warm water. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling, and contact our office as soon as possible.
- Abscessed Tooth: A tooth abscess is a serious infection that can cause complications like pain, swelling, fever, and bone loss around the affected tooth's root. Immediate attention is necessary to help prevent the infection from spreading.
Note: In case of severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or any life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
What Happens During an Emergency Appointment?
Here's a look at what you can expect during an emergency appointment:
- Pain Relief: Our first goal is to ensure you're comfortable. We offer various pain management and sedation dentistry options to relieve your discomfort.
- Imaging: We use advanced imaging technology to assess the extent of damage and plan treatment. Dr. Gutierrez will create a custom treatment plan outlining the most conservative options to restore the health and function of your smile.
- Same-Day Treatment:We provide same-day treatments, whenever possible, to address your unique needs and restore your oral health. The treatment you need will depend on the type of emergency and your unique needs.
