When you have cracked or chipped a tooth, or if one begins to ache or is knocked loose or out, then you need to see our team for emergency dentistry. We want to repair the teeth to protect you from major complications! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we help smiles with emergency dentistry.
Damaged Teeth and Other Dental Emergencies
When should you contact our team for emergency dental treatment? If you have a tooth that is chipped or broken, please see us right away. If you sustain an injury to the face or jaw and no damage is visible, then consider a checkup as dental fractures could lead to serious trouble and may be nearly invisible to the naked eye. A tooth that is knocked loose or out needs attention, as does sudden toothaches or objects caught between teeth that floss cannot dislodge. Also let us know if your restorations, orthodontics, or prosthetics are damaged or missing.
Seeking Care at Our Office
When your injury happens, you should rinse with warm water and use cloth or gauze to stem any bleeding. To control facial swelling, apply an ice pack. You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever too. If a tooth is knocked out, pick it up only by the crown, never touch the root, and put it in a sealed container of milk or salt water, then bring it with you.
You should call us right away. If you can reach us during our regular business hours, we will try to see you same-day. If the issue happens outside of our normal hours, then call regardless and leave a message. A member of our team will then reach out to you quickly to discuss possible appointment times.
Repairing Your Teeth
For a knocked-out tooth, we can restore it to your smile. Our team can also provide lifelike repair for damage. For minor injuries, we could use composite resin for a natural-looking repair in only one visit. For more substantial injuries, we could place a crown that is durable and lifelike too. If you have any questions about our approach to treating dental emergencies, then contact our team today to learn more!
