Types of Emergency Dental Services

Dr. Guffey can treat a variety of dental emergencies. Many emergency patients are suffering from tooth pain that has just gotten too unbearable to stand. We can alleviate discomfort and treat the problem. Other emergency dental patients have suffered a severe or abrupt facial blow that resulted in damage to one or more teeth. Sports are often the culprit for this type of emergency dental issue. Another common emergency dental request Dr. Guffey frequently sees is the repair of existing dental work such as putting an existing crown back on a tooth.

Some of our most requested emergency services include:

• Root Canals – Tooth infections can cause extreme pain and discomfort. Furthermore, if not treated timely and properly, the problem just gets worse. If you are suffering from severe tooth pain, residual sensitivity to hot or cold, or tooth discoloration, you may be suffering from a tooth infection. These often occur because a previous need for a filling or crown wasn’t treated. If it’s not too late, a root canal can preserve the tooth and avoid the need for an extraction.
• Crown Repair – Sometimes existing crowns fall off unexpectedly. This may or may not cause pain, but it is urgent that you get treatment as soon as possible to avoid further damage. If a crown falls off, do not throw it away. It can be put back on most of the time, which will save money. Patients who do not still have the existing crown should still seek emergency dental services regardless to determine a diagnosis and get treatment started. Dr. Guffey offers same-day appointments for emergency crown repair.
• Tooth Avulsion Treatment – Patients who have a tooth knocked out of the socket completely, have a better chance of saving the tooth if they receive treatment within one hour. Therefore, emergency dental care for an avulsed tooth is so important. An avulsed tooth requires immediate dental treatment. When a tooth is dislodged from the socket, reinsert the tooth immediately if possible and seek emergency dental services.
• Emergency Appointments – Emergency appointments are available for patients, both new and existing, who need urgent dental care. Emergency appointments can pinpoint the cause and reduce discomfort and pain. At the same time, emergency dental appointments can offer permanent pain relief. Temporary over-the-counter pain medications will only stave off the pain for so long. When these medications fail to work, making an emergency dental appointment is sometimes the only option for minimizing or stopping pain. If you require a prescription medication to treat the toothache, this can be taken care of during dental emergency appointments.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Follow the recommended six-month schedule for dental maintenance to ensure optimal dental health at all times. At each six-month appointment, teeth are cleaned and closely checked for potential problems. Discovering issues early on allows for proper treatment and fewer problems in the future.

Mountain View Family Dental offers routine care for patients. By visiting us regularly, we can catch problem areas before they become painful and expensive.

FAQ

• Q: Are emergency dental services expensive?

  A: Various factors will determine the bottom-line expense you’ll pay for emergency dental services. Whether or not you have insurance, if you do, the type of coverage you have, and the extent of procedures you’ll need will affect your final bill. The price of emergency dental treatments, though, typically ends up being about the same as non-emergency treatments. Keep in mind, however, the longer you wait to see a dentist – whether emergency or non-emergency – the potential for expenses increases. We accept many dental insurances and provide options for patients who don’t have insurance.

• Q: How soon can I be seen for emergency dental work?

  A: Our team understands and will work to provide an appointment as soon as possible. Same-day appointments, however, are reserved for our patients experiencing dental emergencies.

• Q: Should I see a dentist if I’m not in pain?

  A: Just because you aren’t in pain, doesn’t mean you don’t need emergency dental care. If you have cracked a tooth, lost a crown, or experienced some other dental injury that would normally require a trip to the dentist, then emergency dental services are valid. The longer you wait, the worse it can get.
