Available Emergency Dental Services

A dental emergency could be the result of pain or infection that has not been addressed in a timely manner, or it could be due to an injury such as a cracked tooth or jaw fracture. Dr. Morovati can assess and diagnose your dental emergency and oftentimes remedy it in a same-day appointment.

Our Dental Services Include the Following:

• Emergency Fillings— Emergency tooth fillings are often called for when a tooth becomes cracked or has a hole due to trauma. Emergency tooth fillings can be either temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of the tooth damage and how long the procedure takes to complete.
• Broken or Missing Tooth— If your tooth has been knocked out or broken off in a fall, the best thing to do is to bring the tooth to an emergency dentist, who can assist you. This will allow for a better chance that you can restore the tooth rather than lose it completely or extract any part of the tooth still left in your mouth. Dr. Morovati is experienced in these types of emergency dental events and may be able to save your tooth if you call in due time.
• Abscessed Tooth— A dental abscess is a bacterial infection that can lead to significant pain and swelling in your mouth or jaw. An abscess will be painful to the touch and can cause fever and headaches as well. A dental abscess is treated with antibiotics and painkillers for relief. In some cases, a root canal is needed to fully treat the tooth and prevent future infections from developing.
• Root Canal— A root canal is a treatment for the pulp of the tooth, the part of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. The most common symptoms are tooth pain and swelling in the gums, but other symptoms can include loss of appetite, headache, fever, or tooth discoloration. When the tooth becomes too painful, emergency dental services can alleviate that pain by performing a root canal procedure if necessary. This is oftentimes necessary because a root canal seals the tooth off to prevent infection from entering the bloodstream.
• Crowns— Dental crowns can be used to treat a variety of dental problems, including cracked teeth, decayed teeth, and weakened teeth. A dental crown is a cap or covering that covers the tooth and is cemented in place with a dental adhesive or cement after the removal of decay, damage, or injury to the tooth. Crowns are often used in emergency dental services. Emergency dental crowns are often made of porcelain, gold alloys, silver alloys, or zirconium, depending on the needs of the patient, and can be matched to your teeth and gums to create a personalized and seamless restoration.

You Can Prevent a Dental Emergency Altogether

Regular, routine dental hygiene is the first step to maintaining dental health. It's important to contact your dentist as soon as possible when a dental emergency arises, but there are a few easy things you can do to prevent having to seek an emergency dentist. First, make it a habit to brush and floss your teeth daily.

The second step is maintaining dental health. This is done by scheduling appointments every six months with your current dentist or, if you don't have one, with Dr. Morovati. These appointments consist of a cleaning and usually x-rays. The dentist reads the x-rays and assesses your teeth to keep an eye on any potential problems. By catching problems early, patients can often avoid further problems and even reverse the damage with instruction from the dentist.
