Emergency Care You Can Count On
When you’re in the midst of a dental emergency, you need a dentist you can trust. Our expert team is well trained to provide care for a wide range of dental emergencies, including:
- Loose bridges, fillings, and crowns
- Broken, cracked, and chipped teeth
- Bleeding gums and soft tissue damage
- Loose and knocked-out teeth
- Dental abscess
- Toothache
In an emergency situation, it can be difficult to know what to do first. If you call us immediately, we can help you assess the problem to determine the right course of action, whether that means visiting an urgent care facility or emergency doctor or scheduling a visit to our office.
Emergency Medical Care vs. Emergency Dental Care
Some emergency situations that result in facial or dental trauma will require immediate medical attention. An EMT or emergency room doctor will patch you up and get you out of harm’s way, but they can’t fix a broken tooth, replace a missing tooth, perform a root canal, or replace a restoration. If you end up in an ER, once you’ve been discharged, please follow up with us to ensure all our dental issues are addressed promptly and effectively.
Don’t Hesitate To Contact Our Team
A minor accident that results in a cracked, chipped, or missing tooth, whether it happens at home, at school, or at work, while playing sports, or doing yard work, is a dental emergency. Even if you choose not to seek immediate medical attention, we urge you to call us as soon as possible so we can assess the damage with an examination and X-rays.
If you’ve knocked out a tooth, the sooner we see you, the more likely it is that we can save it. The key is to find the missing tooth and bring it to our office. You can clean the tooth with saline if you have some and store it in milk or saliva to keep it from drying out. Please be careful not to touch the tooth root in the process.
If you ever find yourself in a dental emergency, we want to help. Keep our contact information close at hand so you can call us wherever you are. We are here for you and your family.
Call our office located in Phoenix, AZ to schedule an appointment if you have any questions about your oral health or need to come in for a cleaning. We’d love to see you!
