What qualifies as a dental emergency?

If you have severe tooth pain, it qualifies as a dental emergency regardless of the cause. However, a persistent toothache is hardly the only reason you need emergency dentistry. Other reasons include:

  • A fractured or broken tooth
  • A dislodged (knocked out) tooth
  • Signs of an infected or abscessed tooth, including sensitivity and swollen gums
  • A loose or fallen-out crown or bridge
  • Post-surgery complications, such as a dry socket
  • Bleeding that doesn’t stop

You don’t have to remember the list. Just know where to turn when one happens. If you are in the Houston area, count on us for expert emergency dentistry services.

How do you handle dental emergencies?

When you come in with a dental emergency, the first step is to determine the root cause. Your diagnosis may involve advanced technologies such as dental X-rays. Depending on the cause, treatment recommendations may include:

  • Dental fillings to address cavities and minor tooth damage
  • A dental crown for extensive damage or decay
  • Root canals for infected or damaged teeth
  • Dental extractions for irreparably damaged teeth
  • Implantation of a knocked-out tooth
  • Pain medications and antibiotics

Ignoring a dental emergency can turn a minor problem into a serious one, leading to tooth loss, infection, and lasting damage. Don’t wait it out. Our office offers same-day care to relieve pain and restore your oral health quickly.
