When Do You Need Emergency Dental Services?
At the Smile Center, we offer emergency dental treatments during our regular business hours. It’s best to seek immediate dental care if you are experiencing severe pain in your mouth or any of the following has occurred:
- Teeth Fractures – If your teeth are chipped, cracked, or broken in any way, you should seek emergency dental care. Our experienced dentists will assess the severity of the injury and provide immediate treatment to prevent further damage and alleviate pain.
- Infections – If you are experiencing a severe toothache or notice swelling around your gums, cheeks, or face, it could indicate an infection. Infections should be treated immediately to prevent them from spreading and causing further damage to your mouth.
- Loose or Knocked-Out Tooth – If your tooth has been knocked out due to an accident or injury, seek emergency dental care immediately. If you can get to a dentist within less than two hours of an incident, there’s a higher likelihood we can get your tooth re-implanted.
- Lost Crown or Filling – Losing a crown or filling may not seem like a dental emergency, but it can cause pain and discomfort. It’s essential to seek immediate dental care to avoid further damage to the affected tooth.
How Can You Avoid Dental Emergencies?
Although there are many dental emergencies you can’t predict, there are ways you can avoid countless others. Greater oral hygiene and awareness of the foods and drinks you ingest is essential. For example, you can avoid most dental emergencies by:
- Committing to better oral hygiene with daily brushing, flossing, and twice-yearly teeth cleanings.
- Avoiding hard, sticky, or sugary foods that can weaken and damage your teeth.
- Wearing a mouthguard during sports or other physical activities protects your teeth from injury.
- Seeking immediate dental care on the onset of tooth pain and other issues.
