What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any serious problem with your teeth, gums, or mouth that needs immediate attention. If you’re in severe pain, have bleeding that won’t stop, or have a damaged tooth, you need emergency dental care.
Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache
- Swollen or infected gums
- Knocked-out tooth
- Broken or cracked tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Swelling in the face or jaw
- Injury to the mouth or face
If you experience any of these problems, call Highland Family Dental Care right away at 301-635-4619.
Emergency Dentistry Treatments
When you come to Highland Family Dental Care with a dental emergency, Dr. Shoeybi will first focus on relieving your pain and addressing the immediate problem.
For severe pain or infection, Dr. Shoeybi may provide pain medication, drain an abscess, or prescribe antibiotics. Root canal therapy might be needed to save an infected tooth.
If your tooth has been knocked out, try to place it back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk or between your cheek and gum while you get to our office. Dr. Shoeybi will try to save and reattach your natural tooth if possible.
If your tooth is broken or cracked, Dr. Shoeybi will examine the damage and may repair your tooth with a filling, crown, or other restoration. If the break is severe, root canal therapy or extraction might be necessary.
For lost fillings or crowns, Dr. Shoeybi will either replace the filling or reattach the crown if possible. If not, she’ll create a new restoration to protect your tooth.
Benefits of Prompt Emergency Dental Care
Seeking immediate dental care during an emergency provides crucial advantages that can make a significant difference in your oral and overall health:
- Pain Relief and Comfort: Emergency dental treatment targets the source of your pain quickly, providing immediate relief from what can be debilitating discomfort. Dr. Shoeybi uses effective techniques and medications to ensure you’re comfortable as soon as possible.
- Tooth Preservation: Quick action can mean the difference between saving or losing a tooth. For knocked-out teeth, treatment within 30 minutes dramatically increases the chances of successful reattachment. For cracked or broken teeth, prompt care prevents further damage to the tooth structure.
- Infection Prevention: Dental infections can spread rapidly to surrounding tissues, the jawbone, and even enter the bloodstream. Emergency treatment stops this progression, preventing potentially serious health complications that could require hospitalization.
- Cost-Effective Care: Addressing dental emergencies promptly typically requires simpler, less expensive treatments than waiting until the condition worsens. What might be treated with a filling today could require a root canal or extraction tomorrow if left untreated.
- Reduced Healing Time: Early intervention means less damage to repair, which translates to faster healing and recovery time. This gets you back to your normal routine more quickly with less disruption to your daily life.
- Peace of Mind: Perhaps most importantly, knowing that your dental emergency is being handled by Dr. Shoeybi’s experienced team provides invaluable peace of mind during a stressful situation.
