If you or a family member is experiencing severe pain in the mouth or has a chipped or cracked tooth that requires immediate attention, you can count on our team Carlingwood Dental to provide the emergency dental services you need. Even if it’s during the weekend, give us a call and we’ll take care of you with fast, friendly, and efficient service. Here are a few of the main dental emergencies that we can take care of:
Cracked Tooth
Whether you’ve fallen down, been involved in an accident or have experienced some sort of impact that has left you with a cracked tooth, we can help! Cracks that form in the teeth should never be ignored. When a crack develops in the enamel and outer hard tissues, the pulp of the tooth can become irritated when eating or drinking and eventually infected if it’s not treated, causing painful sensations. Vertical bone loss can also occur, so don’t ignore it! Give us a call and have it seen to.
Chipped Tooth
The same applies if you have a severely chipped tooth. Chips in the enamel may not seem like a big deal, but they can also pose a serious risk to the health of your teeth and should be treated by a dentist as soon as possible.
Swollen, Throbbing Gums
Experiencing a persistent throbbing sensation in the mouth can also be a cause of concern that could require an emergency dental service. Whenever you experience pain, it’s important that you don’t ignore it, even if it feels subtle. Pain can highlight a bigger, underlying problem that might be occurring such as decay, a cavity, infection or inflammation. Throbbing gums can range from a minor issue to something more serious. If you’re experiencing this, make an appointment today.
Missing Tooth
Has a sudden blow to the face left you with a missing tooth? Whatever the cause, losing a tooth can do more than just harm your appearance. It can eventually alter the shape of your entire face, literally causing your jawbones and mouth to shift and compensate. This can lead to a slew of issues, including difficulty chewing and speaking.
Tooth Pain
When the inner root of a tooth becomes infected, this can lead to a sharp pain in your tooth. This can be caused by improper brushing and poor oral hygiene. The good news is you don’t have to endure the pain. You can come visit us and we’ll take a look to determine the right solution to eliminate the pain and repair your smile.
