Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
When you experience a dental emergency, it’s important to seek immediate care to prevent further damage or complications. At Encore Dental Studio, we treat a variety of urgent dental issues, including:
- Intense Tooth Discomfort: Ongoing or sharp tooth pain may be a sign of decay, an abscess, or an underlying infection that needs prompt treatment.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: If a tooth has been knocked out, quick action can save the tooth. Contact our office immediately for guidance and care.
- Cracked, Broken, or Chipped Teeth: Whether caused by trauma or biting into something hard, we can repair damaged teeth to restore function and aesthetics.
- Lost or Damaged Fillings, Crowns, or Restorations: A broken or dislodged restoration can cause sensitivity and discomfort. We offer quick repairs to protect your tooth.
- Dental Abscess: An infection or abscess can cause swelling, pain, and fever. Immediate treatment is crucial to prevent the spread of infection.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: If you’ve experienced injuries to your gums, lips, or cheeks, we provide treatment to control bleeding and repair damage.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Knowing how to respond to a dental emergency can make all the difference. Here’s what you should do before visiting our office:
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water, carefully floss to remove any debris, and use over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Lightly rinse the tooth with water without scrubbing, try to reposition it in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk or saliva. Reach out to us right away.
- Cracked or Broken Tooth: Clean your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to help with swelling, and avoid using that side of your mouth to chew.
- Lost Restoration: Hold on to the crown or filling if you still have it, and steer clear of chewing on that tooth until you're seen by a dentist.
If you’re unsure how to handle your dental emergency, don’t hesitate to contact Encore Dental Studio. We’ll provide guidance over the phone and schedule you for immediate care.
