What are dental emergencies?
Dental emergencies can be a lot of different things. In general, Dr. Sneha Naik and our team are referring to damage that requires prompt care. This damage may include:
- Severe toothache caused by decay, infection, and other sources
- Cracks or chips as a result of accidents, biting down on hard objects, and other trauma
- Broken fillings and other restorations, which can expose the sensitive, deeper layers of the tooth
- Oral trauma or injuries to the mouth that may not immediately hurt, but can cause serious damage without treatment
How do you treat emergencies?
Every effort is made to accommodate dental emergencies on the same day. We provide you with immediate information to help relieve pain, swelling, and other symptoms. For instance, rinsing with salt water can be helpful for tooth pain due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Once you are at our office, Dr. Naik evaluates the problem that led to your need for emergency care. From there, she can recommend the most appropriate treatment. We also immediately provide pain relief in the short term as well as a long-term solution that is in the best interests of your smile and overall health and well-being. Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Crowns and other restorations
- Replacement or repair of restorations
- Root canal therapy
- Extraction or removal of the tooth
How do you help minimize dental emergencies?
We may not be able to prevent all accidents and injuries, but routine dental care helps to reduce your risk of sustaining damage to the teeth, gums, and other tissues. Toothaches are a common dental emergency. They are often rooted in progressive tooth decay, which is highly preventable with consistent oral care at home and professional dental cleanings. Even sports-related trauma that leads to a partly- or fully-dislodged tooth can be prevented with services such as a custom sports mouthguard. When worn properly and consistently, it protects the teeth and other delicate tissues from blows to the face or other contact with objects.
