Not all dental issues require emergency care. Knowing the difference between a dental emergency and a non-emergency is important so you don’t delay getting emergency care. The following situations would be considered dental emergencies:
Dr. Yvonne can provide immediate pain relief to ease your symptoms. Then, we’ll assess the problem, pinpoint the source of your pain, and provide treatment. This may entail fixing a damaged tooth, treating an infection, replacing lost restorations, etc. Prompt treatment keeps your condition from worsening. If an oral infection or decay causes pain, we can keep the infection from spreading to healthy teeth or other body parts through your bloodstream. Emergency dental care can save damaged, decayed, knocked out, or infected teeth to preserve your smile.
Dental emergencies can be caused by:
Dental issues won’t resolve themselves. If you put off dental treatment when needed, your problem will only worsen. The longer you wait, the greater the risk of your condition causing even more damage to your teeth, requiring more costly treatments to fix. You may even suffer permanent damage that leads to tooth loss. Time is of the essence when it comes to treating dental emergencies. Delaying treatment will only cost you more in the long run by putting your general and oral health at risk. Through prompt and effective treatment, Dr. Yvonne can save your tooth, restore your oral health, protect your general health, and prevent complications in the future.
