What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies can manifest in various ways, and it's essential to recognize the signs that require immediate attention. If you experience any of the following symptoms or situations, it is considered a dental emergency:
- Severe toothache or persistent dental pain
- Broken, chipped, or cracked tooth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
- Loose or displaced tooth
- Bleeding from the mouth or gums
- Facial swelling or abscess
- Injury to the soft tissues of the mouth
- Lost dental filling or crown
- Severe infection or tooth abscess
If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, don't hesitate to contact our office. Our friendly staff will assess your condition over the phone and provide guidance on the necessary steps.
What to Do in an Emergency Situation
In the event of a dental emergency, it's important to stay calm and take appropriate actions to minimize discomfort and prevent further damage. Here are some essential steps you can follow before visiting our office:
Contact Us:
Call City Edge Dental immediately to schedule an emergency appointment. Our compassionate staff will prioritize your case and provide further instructions tailored to your situation.
Control Bleeding:
If you're experiencing bleeding, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a clean cloth or gauze to the affected area. Apply slight pressure to help stop the bleeding.
Relieve Pain:
Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help manage pain and reduce inflammation. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth, as it may cause further irritation.
Preserve a Knocked-out Tooth:
If a tooth has been completely knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown (the visible part) and rinse it gently with water. If possible, try to place the tooth back into its socket, but do not force it. If it can't be reinserted, keep it moist by placing it in a container of milk or saliva until you reach our office.
Remember, time is of the essence during a dental emergency. Seeking immediate professional care increases the chances of successful treatment and prevents complications.
Emergency Treatments and Procedures
Our skilled dental team at City Edge Dental offers a range of emergency treatments and procedures to address various dental emergencies and injuries. We prioritize your comfort and well-being throughout the entire process, ensuring you receive the highest level of care.
Chipped or Cracked Tooth Repair
A chipped or cracked tooth can not only affect your smile but also lead to sensitivity, pain, and further damage if left untreated. At City Edge Dental, we provide effective solutions to repair and restore your tooth's structure, including:
- Dental Bonding: Using tooth-colored resin, our dentists can fill in chips and cracks, reshaping the tooth and restoring its natural appearance.
- Dental Crowns: In cases of severe damage or weakened tooth structure, a dental crown can be placed over the tooth, providing strength, protection, and aesthetic improvement.
Crowns
Dental crowns are versatile restorations that serve multiple purposes. They can address not only chipped or cracked teeth but also extensive decay, large fillings, or root canal-treated teeth. Our dental crown procedures include:
- Evaluation and Preparation: Our dentist will carefully examine your tooth and prepare it by removing any damaged or decayed portions. An impression of the tooth will then be taken to create a custom-made crown.
- Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect the tooth.
Root Canals
When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or trauma, a root canal procedure may be necessary to save the tooth and alleviate pain. At City Edge Dental, our root canal treatments involve:
- Diagnosis and Evaluation: Our dentist will examine the affected tooth, taking X-rays if necessary, to determine the extent of the infection and plan the appropriate treatment.
- Pulp Removal: After administering local anesthesia to ensure your comfort, our dentist will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth's interior.
- Disinfection and Filling: The root canal space will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before being filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This step prevents further infection and strengthens the tooth.
- Restoration: In most cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to provide protection, strength, and a natural appearance.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes, a severely damaged, infected, or impacted tooth may require extraction to prevent further complications and preserve oral health. At City Edge Dental, our skilled dentists perform tooth extractions with precision and care, providing the following services:
- Evaluation: Our dentist will evaluate your tooth, considering your symptoms and diagnostic images, to determine if extraction is necessary.
- Anesthesia and Sedation: We offer various options for anesthesia and sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Tooth Removal: Our dentist will gently and carefully extract the tooth, employing techniques to minimize discomfort and promote healing.
- Post-extraction Care: We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site and promote healing. We can also discuss tooth replacement options to restore your smile and dental functionality.
