What qualifies as a dental emergency?
You need dental emergency care because of the extent of trauma, infection, or pain. If delayed, dental emergencies cause discomfort and can result in tooth loss and other complications. The common dental emergencies we encounter include:
- Persistent toothaches
- Lost or loose fillings or crowns
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Knocked-out or dislodged tooth
- An abscess or an infected tooth
Sometimes it’s tempting to ignore a dental emergency, hoping the pain will fade or the problem will fix itself. Unfortunately, dental issues rarely go away on their own. In fact, they often worsen over time, leading to severe complications, greater discomfort, and more costly treatment. Whatever your dental emergency, always seek professional dental care promptly. Quick action can make all the difference in preserving your oral health.
Can I visit an emergency room for a dental emergency?
While emergency rooms are great for treating broken bones or bleeding, they aren’t equipped to handle dental problems. If you visit the ER for a toothache or cracked tooth, you may get temporary pain relief, but you’ll still need to see a dentist for real treatment. Rather than losing hours in a waiting room, contact our Red Buff or Chico office for expert care. We reserve space in our schedule for emergency dental care and always try everything possible to see you on the same day.
How do we help with dental emergencies?
When you come in with a dental emergency, our first goal is to relieve pain. Once you are out of pain, it’s time to address the root cause of your dental issue. Depending on your dental exam, possible treatments include dental fillings, root canals, and extractions. Dr. Elloway and his team will also talk about preventive steps you can take to avoid similar problems down the road.
