Common Dental Emergencies We Can Help With
At The Exchange Dental Care, we are fully equipped to handle various dental emergencies with expertise and compassion, including:
1. Severe Toothache
Experiencing a severe toothache can be excruciating and disruptive to your daily life. Our dental experts are skilled at identifying the underlying cause of the pain, whether it’s due to decay, infection, or other dental issues. We provide prompt relief and recommend appropriate treatments to address the source of the toothache and restore your comfort.
2. Chipped Tooth (Especially in the Front)
A chipped tooth, especially if it’s in a visible area, can be distressing and impact your self-confidence. Our experienced dentists offer various cosmetic and restorative solutions to repair chipped front teeth, such as dental bonding, veneers, or crowns. We aim to restore the natural appearance and function of your tooth, helping you smile confidently again.
3. Broken or Cracked Tooth
A broken or cracked tooth requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and potential infections. Our skilled team evaluates the extent of the damage and recommends suitable treatments, which may include dental bonding, dental crowns, or root canal therapy, depending on the severity of the fracture.
4. Facial Trauma/Injury
Facial trauma or injury to the mouth can lead to a range of dental issues, including broken teeth, jaw fractures, and soft tissue injuries. Our emergency dental care team is well-versed in managing facial trauma cases and will work efficiently to address any immediate concerns and initiate appropriate treatment plans for a full recovery.
5. Tooth Knocked Out
A knocked-out tooth requires urgent dental care to maximize the chances of successful reimplantation. If a tooth is knocked out, carefully handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to reinsert it back into the socket if possible. If not, place it in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care. Our emergency dental team will strive to reimplant the tooth if feasible or discuss suitable tooth replacement options like dental implants or bridges.
6. Abscess
A dental abscess is a painful infection that can form around the root of a tooth or in the surrounding gum tissue. It requires prompt evaluation and treatment to prevent the infection from spreading. Our skilled dentists will drain the abscess, provide appropriate antibiotics, and address the underlying cause to restore oral health.
7. Loose or Dislodged Tooth
A loose or dislodged tooth may be a result of trauma or advanced gum disease. Our dental professionals will assess the tooth’s stability and determine the best course of action. Depending on the situation, treatments may involve splinting the tooth, gum disease management, or tooth extraction.
8. Excessive Bleeding in the Mouth
Uncontrolled bleeding in the mouth can occur due to dental trauma, gum disease, or other oral health issues. Our emergency dental team will promptly address the bleeding, control it, and provide necessary treatments to resolve the underlying cause.
