Benefits of Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dentistry offers quick relief from severe tooth pain, abscesses, or injuries. Treatment such as root canals, tooth extractions, or numbing agents can alleviate discomfort immediately, so you don’t have to endure prolonged suffering.
Untreated dental issues can worsen, leading to tooth loss or infections that spread. Emergency care addresses problems immediately, preventing the need for more extensive and costly treatments later.
Emergency treatments like crowns, fillings, and bridges restore the function of damaged or missing teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile confidently again.
Infections in the mouth can spread quickly and cause serious health problems. Emergency dentists can provide immediate treatment to prevent infections from affecting your health.
Timely emergency care increases the chance of saving a knocked-out tooth or preventing tooth loss, preserving your natural smile for the long term.
Emergency dental care restores both the function and appearance of your teeth, boosting your confidence and relieving the discomfort caused by dental problems.
Emergency Dentistry Services Offered at Atlantic Dental Partners
Toothaches can stem from various issues, including infection, cavities, or trauma. These sudden and sharp pains can interfere with daily activities. We understand how uncomfortable this can be, and we offer fast relief through root canal therapy, which treats the infected area, or antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. We also provide temporary pain management until a more permanent solution is achieved, ensuring you can continue your day without discomfort.
A knocked-out tooth is one of the most critical dental emergencies, as time is of the essence. If you lose a tooth, the sooner you get to our office, the better the chances of saving it. We can re-implant the tooth if you seek care within one hour of the injury. To maximize the chances of successful re-implantation, keeping the tooth moist by placing it in milk or saline solution is important while heading to our office. Our team is highly trained in performing tooth re-implantation procedures with the highest level of care and precision.
Cracks or breaks in your teeth are painful and can expose the sensitive pulp, leading to further complications. Emergency care for broken or cracked teeth includes dental bonding, crowns, or veneers to restore your tooth’s function and appearance. In more severe cases, we may recommend a root canal or tooth extraction if the damage is extensive. Immediate care ensures the tooth’s structural integrity is maintained, preventing future infections or damage.
A lost or loose dental filling or crown exposes the underlying tooth to bacteria, leading to further damage or infection. This is a common emergency that can be addressed quickly at our office. Our dental team will replace or secure the crown or filling, restoring the tooth’s protection and preventing discomfort. We can often treat this during your emergency visit, ensuring your tooth remains safe.
A dental abscess is a painful, swollen pocket of pus caused by an infection within the tooth, gums, or bone. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other areas of your mouth or even your bloodstream, leading to serious health risks. Our team offers immediate care to drain the abscess, provide antibiotics, and relieve pain. Treating the infection quickly is essential for preventing complications and preserving your overall health.
Trauma to the gums, lips, or tongue can lead to cuts, tears, or abrasions that are painful and prone to infection. If you suffer from soft tissue injuries, our team can provide immediate care to stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and ensure proper healing. We’ll apply the appropriate sutures or dressings and guide you through at-home care instructions to promote healing and prevent further complications.
Dental appliances, such as dentures, retainers, or bridges, can break or become loose, causing discomfort and inconvenience. A broken appliance can interfere with eating or speaking; loose dental appliances can lead to further oral health issues. Our emergency dental team provides fast repairs and adjustments to ensure that your appliance functions properly again, restoring your comfort and confidence.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause severe jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and headaches. These disorders can be triggered by trauma, teeth grinding, or other factors. We offer immediate relief in an emergency through various treatments, including applying a mouthguard to protect the jaw and alleviate pain. We also provide diagnostic tools to evaluate the severity of your condition and develop a plan for long-term relief.
Accidents or sports injuries can lead to significant trauma to the teeth, gums, and jaw. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, a fractured tooth, or damaged soft tissue, we are here to address the injury quickly. We’ll assess the extent of the damage and provide appropriate treatment to restore your smile. Immediate care prevents further injury and ensures the best possible outcome for your dental health.
