Dental Emergencies
Why may you need an Emergency appointment?
If you have an Emergency we are here to help. Here are some scenarios where an emergency dental appointment may be necessary:
Tooth Pain: Persistent and severe toothache may indicate an underlying issue like an abscess or infection, requiring immediate attention.
Broken or Knocked-Out Tooth: Accidents resulting in a broken or knocked-out tooth need immediate dental assessment to minimize further damage and enhance the chances of saving the tooth.
Lost Filling or Crown: If a filling or crown dislodges, the affected tooth becomes susceptible to decay and additional damage, needing prompt professional intervention.
Signs of Infection: Swelling, pus discharge, or a foul taste in the mouth may indicate an oral infection requiring timely treatment to prevent spread.
What do we do during an Emergency dental appointment?
During an emergency dental appointment, the dentist will promptly assess the patient's dental concern. The dentist will conduct an examination and assessment, which may involve X-rays to determine the extent of the problem. This assessment is included in the price of the Emergency appointment.
Immediate treatment options will then be discussed and fees explained provided to alleviate pain and address the emergency. See fee list for possible price implications.
Treatment during the appointment may involve procedures such as temporary fillings, dental bonding, recementation of a crown, extractions, or prescribing medication to manage the issue. The goal of an emergency dental appointment is to address the urgent dental problem quickly and effectively to ensure your comfort and prevent further complications.
