Dental Emergency Types

When it comes to your oral health, there is a wide range of potential concerns that could lead to a dental emergency. At Definitive Dental, we never want to see any patient in pain. Our office provides tailored support to ensure that you are comfortable and that your emergency needs are taken care of. We handle several dental emergencies including:

• Filling concerns. When a filling becomes loose or is lost, it can lead to an increase in pain in that area. In addition to the discomfort of a missing filling, the tooth could begin to further decay once it no longer has the protection of the filling material. It is important to have your filling replaced to ensure the health of the tooth.
• Crown concerns. Crowns can become loose and run the risk of falling out. This must be looked at. Your dentist will be able to repair or replace the damaged crown before any additional damage is done to the tooth.
• Gum concerns. If you notice tenderness in certain areas of your gums, this could be an alert that something is wrong. Your dentist will be able to assess what is happening below the surface and provide you with the proper tools for repair and healing.
• Toothache concerns. Even a minor toothache is an inconvenience. Odds are your toothache simply won't go away on its own, and could become much worse over time. A toothache is a clear sign that something is going wrong beneath the surface. It is best to get this analyzed at the first signs of aches and pains.
• Jaw concerns. Our oral health is much more than just the obvious teeth and gums. If you notice an unexpected swelling or pain along your jawline, it is important to schedule an emergency appointment as soon as possible. This pain is often caused by an infection on the bone of the jawline and the tissues around it that help to support your teeth.
• Root canal. If you've had a tooth with repeat issues, such as requiring fillings, crowns, or a tooth with significant decay, you may need a root canal. This opens the root's passages back up, essentially breathing life back into that tooth. Once was considered a “frightening” procedure, it is now quite quick and easy and allows you to keep your tooth.
• Extractions. In complicated situations, it may be best to remove the tooth completely. This could be due to excessive damage, decay, or infection. To prevent any infections from spreading, removing the tooth is the best security.
• Accident repair necessities. While some emergencies give you a bit of a heads up, accidents also happen that require immediate attention. This is usually due to some kind of incident that results in a tooth breaking, cracking, or becoming completely removed. No matter how small the damage may appear, it is important to get it checked out before it becomes a larger issue.

Preventive Measures to Consider

Dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes. Regardless of the seriousness of the emergency, it is best to prevent these situations, if at all possible. There are important preventive measures that can help keep you from needing to schedule an emergency appointment. One of the best preventive measures is maintaining six-month regular checkups.

When you visit Definitive Dental regularly, you will be treated to top-of-the-line care with your teeth cleaning and assessment. This also provides Dr. Guirguis with a convenient way to track the overall health of your mouth. With a consistent record, any issues or concerns can be addressed before they turn into something that would require an emergency visit.
