What Is the Management for Dental Emergencies?

At Inspiration Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies can disrupt your daily routine and leave you with significant discomfort. We offer same-day emergency appointments to ensure you get the needed care as soon as possible. Remember - seeking immediate care can lower the chances of complications.

Dental emergencies do not always happen during office hours. If you experience an emergency outside our regular hours, do not hesitate to call us. We will provide guidance and arrange care as soon as possible so you are not left in pain or uncertainty.

At Inspiration Dentistry, your comfort is our priority. During your emergency appointment, we will first manage your pain and ensure you are comfortable and stress-free. We will perform a thorough dental exam and may take diagnostic X-rays to determine the extent of damage. Dr. Avalos will recommend the most conservative treatment options to restore your oral health and, whenever possible, save or repair a damaged tooth.

FAQs

What should I do if I have a severe toothache?

Call us for a same-day appointment. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with lukewarm water and use dental floss to dislodge any objects or food particles between your teeth. If your face is swollen, apply cold compresses until you reach our office.

What should I do if I have a chipped, broken, or knocked-out tooth?

For broken or chipped teeth, try to save any pieces of the tooth, and then rinse your mouth with warm water. If you have a knocked-out tooth, pick it up by its crown, try to put it back in its place or save it in milk or saliva and seek immediate care.

What should I do if I lose a dental crown?

If the crown is still intact, try to slip it back in place or put over-the-counter dental cement on its inside surface before slipping it back on. Never use glue or super glue to prevent damage to your tooth and gum tissues.
