Emergency Dental Services in Tucson, AZ

A working, healthy dental system is something most people tend to take for granted until, suddenly, something feels wrong. When a dental emergency strikes, not only is it painful, but it can interrupt your flow of normal activities, such as eating or talking. Whether you're experiencing a toothache or a knocked-out tooth, there's no dental issue too minor to speak to a dentist about. If your regular dentist is unavailable, we can offer you the emergency assistance you need. For those living in Tucson, AZ, Dr. Jeffrey Spillers can handle dental emergencies with prompt and high-quality dental work.

We Help Every Patient

For a lot of people, visiting the dentist can feel scary. Sometimes there are past experiences in other dental offices where patients have not been treated with care or where they have received inappropriate comments about their dental health. We understand this, so we make our dental offices a welcoming and stress-free environment for everyone, whether it's your first time visiting our office or you have been with us before. You can trust Dr. Jeffrey Spillers and the team at West Legacy LLC to put your safety and comfort first, no matter what procedure you need help with.

Emergency Dental Services

Whether you're worried about losing your tooth or are simply suffering from a minor ache, many unpleasant dental surprises have the potential to become emergencies, given enough time. You shouldn't just ignore the issue or mask the pain with medicine and wait for it to subside. It's better to get immediate assistance to avoid the situation from getting out of hand. West Legacy LLC can take care of any dental emergency you have, however minor it may seem at first. Some of the most common dental emergencies our team tackles are:

• A swollen jaw: Your jaw is a fundamental part of your dental system, and it must be protected. If you notice your jaw starting to swell up, it's likely the result of a bacterial infection. These infections can spread to other parts of the mouth if not stopped, compromising your gums, teeth, and any surrounding tissue. Dr. Spillers can clean out the infected area before the spread occurs and take care of swelling as well.
• Pain in your gums: Like a swollen jaw, if your gums hurt, it's likely an infection. Additionally, the pain can be distracting and disruptive, and if the infection spreads, so will the pain. Our team will put a stop to both the infection and the pain.
• Toothache: Few things compare to the unbearable pain of a toothache, and if it's caused by a cavity that has progressed to an infection, the patient might be suffering even more. In many cases, a toothache will tend to become more severe, especially if it comes from internal decay or unnoticed damage. While it might be tempting to use a painkiller or try to wait for it to go away altogether, this isn't always possible. If it is a deeper issue, then your best course of action is to seek immediate attention. You can trust Dr. Spillers to diagnose the cause of your toothache and put a stop to it with the appropriate procedure.
• Lost crowns or fillings: Losing a crown or filling can be devastating for several reasons other than the unsettling pain and discomfort it brings. Re-opening a cavity will get it exposed to bacteria, increasing the odds of the decay resuming. Other forms of damage become possible as well. If you lose your crown or filling, our team can repair the area and replace them for you.
• Damaged teeth: Teeth can be damaged in a few ways and with a range of severities. For example, you may simply chip part of your tooth by crunching on hard candy. Alternatively, you may crack the enamel if you suffer a bad facial injury of some sort. Whether these damages are big or small, painful, or merely annoying, it's important to see a dentist about the issue to make sure the area is cleaned and that any necessary repairs can be made.
• Root canal: While root canals often hurt, they're also a vital procedure used to clear out deep-seated decay. If you need to go in for a root canal, there's no need to worry. Dr. Jeffrey Spillers will keep the process as stress-free and quick as possible so that you can get the problem resolved efficiently.
• Losing a tooth: Whether the result of facial injury or significant decay, teeth can be lost if you suffer enough damage or don't respond to an issue on time. When you lose a tooth, not only is it painful and distressing, but it's dangerous as well, as the exposed socket can now be affected by bacteria and injury that you were originally protected from. If this happens to you, the team at West Legacy LLC can help by cleaning out the damaged area and providing a replacement tooth implant.

Avoiding A Dental Emergency

No dental problem can be avoided 100% of the time, but if you take the necessary precautions, that risk lowers significantly. Take care of your teeth by brushing, flossing, and eating foods that don't harm your enamel. If you have any concerns, contact your regular dentist immediately.
