Emergency Dentistry
Dental pain can be awful to suffer through. Call our office to be seen for an emergency exam, if you are experiencing any of the following:
Dental Trauma: falls, accidents, or assaults that affect the face, jaws, and teeth. This might look like:
Fractures: any fracture of the tooth where there is bleeding coming from within the tooth is a dental emergency.
Avulsions: a tooth is lost in its entirety; it comes out of the socket. This requires immediate attention.
Luxations: a tooth shifts its position (falls, hits, punches can often do this). This requires immediate attention.
Lacerations: cuts to the lips, tongue, tissues of the mouth can warrant urgent attention based on extent and severity.
Dental infections: swelling of the face, mouth, gums. Drainage of pus. Severe redness. Difficulty breathing or swallowing warrants a trip to the emergency room.
Bleeding that won’t stop: if you’ve had a dental procedure and bleeding is soaking through gauze quickly, not letting up within 20 minutes of pressure, this can warrant immediate attention. Always call the office if you have questions.
