How to Determine if you are Having a Dental Emergency
Dental problems come in all shapes, sizes and degrees of pain. While a minor toothache may not seem like a big deal, not addressing it can sometime lead to a bigger dental emergency. Some common reasons you should call for a dental emergency include:
- Pain: If you are facing a severe toothache, contact your dentist as soon as possible. There are various causes of a tooth ache so proper diagnosis is crucial for toothache relief that lasts.
- Bleeding, Aching Gums: Excessive, recurring gum bleeding can often be a warning sign of gum disease.
- Metal Taste: If your mouth starts to taste like metal it can be a sign that your old filling has cracked or become loose.
- Chipped/Broken Tooth: Tooth fracture are actually one of the most common dental emergencies. If you have a broken or chipped tooth, contact our office to schedule your appointment.
Providing Relief and Treatment for Current Patients and New Patients
Sudden Toothache Relief
A sudden or severe/painful toothache could indicate that dental decay has reached the nerve of your tooth and you may need a root canal procedure to remove the infection and alleviate the pain.
Knocked Out Tooth Repair
A knocked-out tooth is among one of the most alarming dental emergencies. However, with our expert care we can quickly restore your appearance and dental function. In fact, in many cases we can save your natural tooth. However, you must act quickly when the tooth comes out. Rinse it off carefully without touching the roots. Then place it back in the socket and bite down to keep it in place. If this causes too much discomfort, store the tooth in a container of milk, saliva or saline.
If we cannot reattach your natural tooth we can replace it with a nearly identical restoration. A bridge is a common affordable option. Comprised of three or more crowns, the restoration will attach to your natural teeth, much like a single crown. We use advanced materials such as porcelain and zirconia, and we often provide same day bridges. Alternatively, a dental implant will replace both your tooth and the root itself. Dr. Salifu and Dr. Geris performs all steps in implant dentistry. Once treatment is complete, you will have an incredibly stable and lifelike restoration that will also prevent jawbone recession.
Broken or Cracked Tooth Repair
The protocol for a broken tooth is like that of a knocked-out tooth. If the missing piece is large enough, store it in milk, saliva or saline. In the interim, you can minimize discomfort by taking over the counter medication or using and ice pack. If there is any bleeding gently bite down on a piece of gauze.
The right treatment will depend on the severity of the structural damage. In most cases, a crown may be needed to restore. We use porcelain and zirconia for our restorations. Therefore, your custom-crafted crown will have a natural color and a slight translucence. Finally, if a large crack has exposed your tooth root, we will typically recommend root canal therapy.
