How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies
If you find yourself in the midst of dealing with a dental emergency, the first step you should always take is to call our office immediately after the accident. Our team will do everything possible to fit you in the same day you call. If we're not open, be sure to leave a message so we can get back to you the next day we are. Below, we've included some helpful tips and information on how to handle the most common emergencies until you reach our office.
Toothaches are often a sign of an infection developing inside of your tooth. To help ease the pain, you can take an over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen. If you notice any swelling, placing a cold compress on the area can help it come down as well as ease your discomfort. Just be sure to place the compress on for 10 minutes at a time, leaving it off for 10 minutes as well.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a misunderstood procedure that many people are afraid to hear that they need. If you have a severe toothache and are suffering from a dental infection, root canal therapy can help eliminate your pain and preserve your natural tooth, keeping you from needing an even more invasive treatment like a tooth extraction. The procedure is virtually pain-free, and it will allow you to continue enjoying a complete and healthy smile for years to come!
How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
While dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits and visiting our office regularly for checkups and cleanings are two of the most effective ways to prevent sudden dental problems.
Tooth Extractions & Cost of Treatment
For severe dental damage or infection, we may recommend extracting a tooth. Our team at Bell Road Dentistry does everything in our power to help you preserve your natural teeth, but unfortunately, in some situations, the only way to do that is to remove one. Fortunately, we offer a wide variety of customized tooth replacement treatments so you don't have to live with a gap in your smile.
When you get to our office, we'll conduct a thorough examination of your mouth and take X-rays to determine the underlying issue. Once we diagnose the problem, we'll be able to create a treatment plan to address it. Before we move forward with any procedures, we'll walk you through all of your options and financing to make sure that you have the details you need to feel confident in your care. If you have any questions, we're more than happy to address them during your visit!
