What Counts As A Dental Emergency?

The category is bigger than you might think! A dental emergency is any oral health issue that’s causing you lots of pain, discomfort, or bleeding, and that you cannot treat on your own. This means all of the following things count as emergencies:

‍

• Toothaches caused by tooth infections
• Jaw or facial swelling
• Lost or pulled-out dental work like crowns and fillings
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Broken teeth
• Loose or knocked-out teeth
• Food or other objects lodged between teeth
• Deep, severe cuts to the gums, lips, tongue, or cheeks

‍

Understanding The Importance Of Immediate Dental Care

‍

• Eliminate your pain and discomfort – Dental emergencies like toothaches, oral infections, and broken teeth can be extremely painful, and make it impossible to focus on your daily routine. The sooner you get help for your emergency, the sooner you get out of pain.
  
  
• Prevent further complications – Getting immediate care for an emergency can sometimes help you avoid complications. If you have a tooth infection, for example, you may be able to get a root canal and restore your tooth if you get immediate care. But if you wait too long, your condition may worsen. It may no longer be possible to save your tooth, and you may need a tooth extraction instead, which is a much more invasive and complex procedure.

‍

• Stop worrying about your oral health – Once you leave Opal Dental Studio, you’ll know that your oral health is in good hands. You can get back to your daily life, stop feeling anxious about your sore tooth, and focus on what really matters in your life.

Common Emergency Dental Procedures

Root canal therapy

Root canal therapy is a very common emergency dental procedure. It’s typically required for infected teeth, or for teeth with serious cracks, chips, or damage that may be at risk of becoming infected. In this procedure, Dr. Gonzales will open up your tooth, clean the inside to eliminate bacteria, and then seal the tooth with a temporary filling or crown. Then, later on, you’ll get a permanent crown to restore your tooth.

Dental crown

Crowns are often used to restore decayed, infected, or broken teeth, sometimes in conjunction with root canal therapy. They are designed to cover up the damaged tooth all the way down to the gumline, restoring both its natural function and appearance. After you get a dental crown from Opal Dental Studio, your tooth will be just as strong, durable, and beautiful as it was before your emergency.

Tooth splinting

If you have knocked a tooth loose or have knocked a tooth out completely, tooth splinting may be needed to stabilize it. Dr. Gonzales will replace the tooth, then attach it to the nearby healthy teeth to make sure it can heal and reattach to your mouth.

Tooth extractions

Dr. Gonzales is a biological dentist. This means that she will always do everything she can to preserve your natural teeth. But in some cases, a tooth may simply be too damaged to save. In these situations, removing the tooth may be the best way to eliminate your pain, prevent complications, and get you back to your normal routine.
