Everything You’ll Need for Your Emergency Dentist Appointment

The Most Common Dental Emergencies Treated by Emergency Dentists

Most dental injuries are caused by underlying dental health problems that went untreated for any length of time, which is why it’s so important to see your dentist twice a year. However, other dental emergencies make themselves known basically as soon as they happen. No matter what you’re facing, you need to make sure that you put any sustained head trauma first.

Lost Teeth

Losing a tooth can be extremely stressful, but you can save it if you work fast and do things the right way. Although, you need to make sure any sustained head trauma is dealt with before you look for the lost tooth. If you were able to find it, make sure you don’t pick it up by the root. Doing so can cause irreversible damage that will make it impossible for the emergency dentist to successfully plant it back in. Make sure you rinse it with some water. You can try to put the tooth back in yourself, but you can also store it in a cup of milk or water if you’re unable to do so for whatever reason.

Oral Infections

Oral infections are a lot more dangerous than patients realize. They have the potential to become fatal, just like any other type of infection does. The best way to figure out if you have an oral infection is by looking for a red bump, or anything that generally looks like acne, in your mouth. Pain is also a good indication of an oral infection, which is why you should never ignore oral pain, whatsoever. If you suspect you have an oral infection, call us immediately.

Lost Filling or Crown

Losing a filling or crown is relatively normal, considering they wear out with age and damage over the years, but you need to act fast if you do lose one. Try to track down some dental cement, cotton balls, gauze, or anything that will help you to keep the hole covered. The filling or crown was put into place to protect the tooth from further harm. If you don’t keep it covered, you may be facing an emergency tooth extraction instead of having the dentist refill or recap the tooth.

Emergency Tooth Extractions

Nothing is as scary as being told you need an emergency tooth extraction, especially if you’re being told on the spot out of nowhere. Fortunately, the best way to get through an emergency tooth extraction is to know what’s about to happen. Once the numbing agent injected into the extraction site has had a chance to kick in, the emergency dentist will use dental pliers to remove the tooth whole. If it doesn’t want to come out that way, it’ll be broken up into smaller pieces and removed by the fragment. After that, either the emergency dentist or someone from their team will take the time to give you some important aftercare instructions that you will need to follow at home. If you don’t follow their instructions carefully, you could be risking an infection in the extraction site and have to go back.

Same Day Denture Repair in Aurora

Now, patients can have repairs done or be fitted for a new set of dentures on the same day they go in for the appointment we’ve booked for them.

Emergency Room vs Emergency Dentist

A lot of patients don’t realize that they’re putting themselves at risk when they don’t get their sustained head trauma treated as soon as they can after its occurred by an emergency room doctor. Emergency dentists are not able to treat sustained head trauma, but they can save your teeth. Emergency room doctors can’t save your teeth, but they can treat sustained head trauma. Remember, head trauma should always be treated before anything else it.
