What is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is anything that can validate a prompt dental appointment to alleviate or potentially alleviate the problem by a dentist. While we understand that pain can be associated with some of these dental emergencies, rest assure that our team at Modern Smile Dentistry will work diligently to have you be seen by a dentist as soon as possible. Some common dental emergencies are as follows:
- Abscess or infection
- Broken or failed restoration causing pain
- Fractured (broken) tooth
- Luxated (extracted) tooth due to trauma
- Sever dental pain or other tooth related pains
- Swelling of the facial regions associated with teeth pain
What Should I do if the Emergency Occurs After Hours?
While we do have an emergency dental line where we can be reached, not all emergencies are equivalent. If you have experienced any sort of trauma (injury) to your face or head, excessively bleeding, if you feel that the pain and or infection is so severe, or if you feel that it is a life-threatening emergency, please call 9-1-1 immediately or go to your local Emergency Room for aid.
While not emergencies will be able to be alleviated the same day, due to infections and possibly needing further treatment, steps will be taken to address the problem. If the emergency is capable of being treated immediately, our team will do everything they can to address the problem the same day.
