Dental emergencies are one of the most common reasons for someone to seek out care from a dentist. A knocked-out tooth, a cracked tooth, toothache, gum bleeding, a lost filling, or a lot of pain radiating from a tooth, can all cause someone serious concern. But before you trudge into the local ER, give Dental Care of Plano a call. We offer emergency dental appointments and same day dentistry for patients in pain. There’s no reason to suffer, and no reason to see a doctor who isn’t trained in dental care.
What Counts as an Emergency?
One of the questions we get asked a lot is what really counts as a good reason for emergency dentistry. Some common issues include:
- A lost filling
- A lost or broken crown
- A toothache
- Broken dentures
- Swelling in the gums or cheeks, especially when pain is present
- Lost or broken tooth
Any of these situations should be seen right away by a trained emergency dentist who can protect your oral health. If you have pain severe enough that you cannot eat or speak without pain, or if the pain is distracting you from daily activities, then it is strong enough to call us for a same day dentistry appointment.
Lost a Tooth?
If you have had a tooth knocked out, it is important that you follow these instructions:
- Pick up the tooth without touching the root
- Rinse in warm water, then store in a cup of milk or saliva
- Or, rinse in warm water and then carefully place the tooth back in the socket and bite down gently to hold in place
- Call us for an emergency dentistry appointment right away
