If you've developed severe dental pain, you should call our office to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can rinse your mouth with warm water and floss to remove any debris that may be causing discomfort. If the pain persists for longer than an hour, you can use an over-the-counter pain reliever such as aspirin or ibuprofen. If your pain is unbearable, you can take prescription medications. We can determine the cause of the pain and treat it to prevent future occurrences.

If you are experiencing a chipped or broken tooth and are able to contact your dentist immediately, don't wait! This is the most common type of dental emergency, and it should be treated as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your smile. Don't hesitate to call your dental office if you are having any type of dental pain or discomfort; it is better to be safe than sorry. Your dentist may recommend antibiotics for any oral infections that may be present as a result of the injury, or they may recommend a dental crown if the chip is very large or has been left unattended for an extended period of time. If the tooth has nerve damage, it is possible that the damage can be permanent. In this case, the dentist may refer the patient to an endodontist for additional treatment. Endodontists are dentists who specialize in problems with the tooth pulp and nerves within the tooth.

If you have had a knock to your mouth and you feel that a tooth feels unattached to your gum line, it's a good idea to schedule an emergency appointment with us as soon as possible. A knocked-out tooth can be put back into place by a dentist using special tools designed for this purpose. It's important to act quickly in this situation as the tooth can become less viable for reattachment the longer it's outside of the mouth.

Meanwhile, try to rinse away any debris from the tooth and rinse out your mouth with warm water. If your face is swollen, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If you are able to find the tooth, bring it with you to your appointment by placing it in a glass of milk so we can ensure it remains viable to be reattached.

If you have a broken crown or lost filling, the first thing you should do is call your dentist to make an appointment. In the meantime, rinse your mouth gently with warm water to clean out any food particles or other debris that might be causing discomfort. A cold compress held against your face can also help to reduce swelling around the affected area.

Once the appointment has been made with your dentist, he or she will examine the area to determine the extent of the damage and make the appropriate restoration. This usually involves replacing the metal alloy with a composite resin material to return your tooth to full function. Keep in mind that replacing a crown or a filling is a two-visit process in order to ensure that the new restoration will fit perfectly with your bite. Your dentist will most likely use a temporary restoration when your first visit ends. This allows the tooth to remain protected while your permanent restoration is being made at the dental lab.  

If you experience dental pain, it's imperative to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further damage and discomfort. The pain could be caused by a number of factors, including tooth decay or a cracked tooth, so your dentist will carefully examine your smile to determine the cause and plan an effective course of treatment.

If you have severe oral pain, it is advised to call your dental office for emergency dental treatment. The dentist will determine the appropriate course of action after examining the problem in person and providing treatment if necessary. Avoid eating hot or cold foods until the matter is resolved, as extreme temperatures can cause additional pain and discomfort. Also, avoid drinking too much coffee or other caffeinated beverages, as this can aggravate the pain. If the pain is severe, take an over-the-counter pain reliever (like Tylenol) as directed on the packaging label. Sometimes, extreme oral discomfort is a sign of a serious underlying condition like infection or abscess. In these instances, immediate care is necessary to prevent the condition from progressing. .
