Emergency Dentist 24/7 Tampa, FL

Emergency Dentist in Tampa, Florida

When you are experiencing a dental emergency, it is crucial to seek help as soon as possible. If an emergency with your oral health isn't treated quickly and effectively, the problem could become significantly more severe. For example, if you currently have a single problem tooth, the decay or infection causing your dental emergency can spread to surrounding teeth. The longer you wait to schedule a filling, root canal, extraction, or other emergency service, the more time decay and infection have to spread.

In addition, dental pain can take a huge toll on your quality of life. Toothaches can become debilitating, and covering up this discomfort with over-the-counter painkillers won't resolve the issue. To receive a long-term solution for your serious dental problem, you'll need to pursue emergency dental treatment.

Dental Emergencies We Treat

The circumstances of dental emergencies in Tampa can vary widely, and every patient deserves personalized care by a versatile team of professionals. No matter the urgent dental issue you're experiencing, Dr. Bale and Coast Dental in Tampa, FL can provide the service you need to get back to your life. Examples of emergency dental problems we treat include:

• Serious Tooth Pain—Toothaches rarely subside on their own. Instead, you'll need to identify the cause and treat the issue in question. Severe toothaches usually point to an underlying condition that can become worse if untreated. Coast Dental will determine whether your toothache is caused by decay, infection, an abscess or something else, then formulate a long-term solution.
• Gum Pain & Discomfort—If your gums are sore, this can indicate gum disease. Issues with the supportive tissue beneath your teeth can cause your teeth to loosen, shift, or even fall out. If this occurs, it's time to seek emergency treatment. Once we've pinpointed the reason for your discomfort, we'll be able to treat the underlying issue.
• Jaw Pain & Swelling—Coast Dental will examine your mouth and jaw to find the cause of your pain or swelling. Sometimes, this kind of discomfort is the result of a past injury or trauma. Bone or tissue infections are other possibilities. Once we determine why your jaw is sore or swollen, we'll work to alleviate the pain and resolve the problem.
• Damaged or Lost Fillings—Fillings can protect your teeth from further decay, but once that filling is damaged or lost, the tooth becomes susceptible to infections and further damage. To prevent infections from developing and spreading, you'll need to visit Coast Dental for filling repairs or a filling replacement.
• Missing or Damaged Crowns—Crowns are placed to protect your natural tooth and provide you with a solid surface for chewing. However, when they are loose or missing, your tooth is once again vulnerable to damage. Schedule repair or replacement within 24 hours to preserve your tooth.
• Emergency Extractions—If infection or decay has become so advanced it is causing pain, you risk spread to neighboring teeth. Extracting the infected tooth can eliminate infection and stop your pain at the source.
• Emergency Root Canals—Root canal procedures may allow you to avoid extraction and preserve your natural tooth. Like emergencies extractions, root canals are used to resolve serious decay and alleviate tooth pain. You can turn to Coast Dental in Tampa for an emergency root canal.
• Emergency Tooth Repairs—Dental injuries of any kind require emergency repair services. Injuries can come in many forms, including teeth that are cracked, broken, chipped, or even knocked out of the mouth. Coast Dental can perform emergency tooth repairs of all kinds.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

To reduce your risk of a serious dental problem, it is critical to properly care for your teeth and gums. While you should be brushing twice per day and flossing after meals, scheduling regular cleanings every six months is another essential part of preventive care. Your dentist can identify and address small issues before they become an emergency.

In addition, it is important to protect your teeth from physical blows. Never play contact sports without a mouth guard to protect your smile. If you enjoy contact sports, inquire about a custom-fit mouth guard to prevent knocked-out or damaged teeth.
