While oral injuries are the most obvious dental emergencies, they are not the only kind of emergency that requires immediate treatment. Things like serious toothaches that may require a root canal qualify as dental emergencies, as well as damaged dental work, such as a pulled-out crown or filling.
As a general rule, if your oral condition is causing you serious pain and discomfort, and there is no way for you to treat it on your own, this is considered a dental emergency and should seek professional help right away.
Sometimes, you may not be sure if your condition counts as a dental emergency. However, there are a few common signs you can look for that may indicate that your condition is an emergency.
If you recognize one or more of these signs, you are having a dental emergency. Contact Willow Creek Smiles right away for an emergency appointment at (281) 516-8575, and come in as soon as you can for treatment.
If your tooth is knocked out, it is critical to get treatment within 1-2 hours to ensure the best outcome. You should take the following steps to save your tooth:
While dental emergencies and oral injuries can be extremely painful and debilitating, they are very rarely life-threatening. For this reason, it’s usually not a good idea to try to get treatment at a hospital ER.Most ERs are not set up to handle dentistry cases, so you may be turned away and referred to a local emergency dentist. Even if you can get treatment at an ER, you will pay much more for care at the ER than you would at a dentist’s office.
When deciding whether or not to go to the ER, we recommend using your best judgment. If you are experiencing a condition that could be life-threatening, such as severe and uncontrollable bleeding, a broken jaw, or swelling in your mouth that is interfering with breathing and swallowing, you should go to the ER.
Same-day dental appointments are critical for treating dental emergencies. The longer you wait to treat a tooth that’s infected, damaged, loose, or even has been knocked-out altogether, the less likely it will be that Dr. Nguyen will be able to repair and save your tooth.
Not only that, but emergency dentistry is critical for getting relief from pain and discomfort. A serious dental injury like an impacted tooth or a serious infection can be absolutely excruciating. The faster you get treatment, the sooner you’ll be able to go back to your day-to-day life.
