What Is Same-Day Emergency Dental Care?

Any time you feel enough discomfort that you can’t eat, sleep, or relax, you should call the dentist for an appointment as soon as possible. Our office can help relieve your discomfort and possibly save your tooth when dental emergencies occur. Emergency dental care is crucial for providing urgent relief and treatment for these situations. In case of a true emergency, you can receive an immediate appointment.

If you are experiencing heavy oral bleeding or any other life-threatening situation, seek emergency medical attention by going to the emergency room before calling the dentist.

Same-Day Emergency Procedures Offered

Broken Teeth. If you break or crack a tooth, this is a dental emergency. It may cause discomfort due to sharp edges or exposing the tooth’s interior. Call the dentist right away for an appointment.

Root Canal. A tooth needing a root canal may cause severe pain and sensitivity. Having the opportunity for quick relief can let you relax, sleep, and eat again without trouble.

Extractions.  Teeth that are too damaged to be repaired sometimes need to be extracted. Teeth may also need extraction in cases where the patient needs a dental implant.

Knocked-Out Teeth. You may panic if you knock out a tooth in an accident or by biting down on something hard. Many people do not know what to do when they lose a tooth in this way. Fortunately, dentists can sometimes save a knocked out tooth if you handle the situation promptly.

First, find the tooth. Hold it only by the crown; do not touch the root surface. Rinse it gently with water if it is dirty. Reseat the tooth in its socket if you can, biting down gently. If you can’t return the tooth to its socket, put it in a small cup of milk or saliva. You may also find a tooth preservation kit called Save-A-Tooth in the pharmacy.

If you receive emergency dental service within half an hour, you have the best chance of the tooth bonding with the jaw again. Don’t give up hope after half an hour. We may still be able to help.

Bone Graft. A bone graft often becomes necessary when a patient needs a dental implant. A missing tooth causes the jawbone to deteriorate, and a bone graft supports it while it grows. 

Dental Implants. Many people believe doctors can't place dental implants in one day, but with our Full Arch system, you can receive an entire arch of implants in just one procedure. This procedure does not require as much bone volume as regular single-tooth dental implants, so they are available to more patients.

Abscesses. If you have a lump or swelling along the gum, seek immediate dental attention. You may have an infection inside your tooth or nearby areas. Severe tooth pain can also be a sign of an abscess.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same-Day Procedures

Is a root canal painful?
Today, a root canal is a comfortable procedure. Most patients say that it is no worse than getting a regular filling. It is a more extended procedure than a filling so you may have some jaw discomfort afterward. This problem will pass quickly. Putting off a root canal could spread the infection inside your tooth to its neighbors. Your tooth will feel much better after you receive a root canal, and you will protect your oral health.
