Why you should visit an emergency dentist

Never ignore a dental emergency because it’s never going to resolve itself. In fact, the situation is only going to get worse. Emergency dental care saves your smile whether faced with uncontrollable bleeding, excruciating toothache, or a knocked-out tooth.

Following are the reasons why you should see an emergency dentist:

• Pain relief: Dental emergencies rarely strike without pain and discomfort. Seeking emergency dental care provides short and long-term pain relief. And we don’t have to wait until you are in our office to manage your pain. From the moment you call us, our team will guide you over the phone on how to manage your pain before you arrive at our office
• Tooth preservation: Seeking emergency dental care can be the difference between saving and losing your tooth. Timely intervention can prevent the need for dental extractions. Also, arriving just in time when you have a knocked-out (avulsed) tooth can be crucial in restoring your tooth
• Infection control: Dental emergencies will lead to further complications if not treated. For instance, an abscessed tooth will likely spread the infection to nearby structures, causing further harm. Emergency dentistry puts the situation under control, preventing the need for invasive and costly treatments
• Professional care: Emergency dentists have the skills and technology to handle dental problems before, during, and after treatment. After putting your dental problem under control, we’ll offer preventive mechanisms to avert such problems in the future. Specialized care provides long-term solutions to preserve your precious smile.
