Common Dental Emergencies We Treat:
Whether you're dealing with a throbbing toothache or a sudden injury, our experienced team is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies, including:
Severe Toothache: Persistent, throbbing pain can indicate an infection or other serious underlying issue. We’ll diagnose the cause and provide effective pain relief.
Chipped or Broken Tooth: Accidents happen. We can repair damaged teeth, often restoring their appearance and function in a single visit.
Knocked-Out (Avulsed) Tooth: Time is critical for a knocked-out tooth. Call us immediately! If handled correctly and seen quickly, re-implantation may be possible.
Lost Filling or Crown: A lost restoration can expose sensitive areas of your tooth, leading to pain and further damage. We can replace or re-cement your filling or crown.
Abscess or Swelling: Swelling around your gums or face can signal a serious infection that requires immediate attention to prevent it from spreading.
Bleeding Gums or Mouth Injuries: If you experience uncontrolled bleeding after an injury or surgery, seek emergency care.
Objects Caught Between Teeth: While often minor, a lodged object can cause significant discomfort and potentially damage your gums or teeth if not removed properly.
Broken Orthodontic Wires or Brackets: If a wire is poking or causing irritation, we can provide relief and make necessary adjustments.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency:
While waiting for your appointment with WH Smile Dental, here are some steps you can take to manage your situation:
For a knocked-out tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root). If possible, try to reinsert it into the socket. If not, place it in a small container of milk or your own saliva and bring it with you.
For a severe toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water. Gently floss to remove any trapped food particles. A cold compress on the outside of your cheek may help reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
For a chipped or broken tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water. If there’s bleeding, apply a piece of gauze to the area for about 10 minutes. A cold compress can help reduce swelling.
For a lost filling or crown: You can try to temporarily re-seat a lost crown using dental adhesive, toothpaste, or even sugar-free gum, but call us immediately for a permanent solution.
