Dental emergencies are stressful, painful, and overwhelming, especially when they happen without warning. At Pleasant Valley Dental, we understand how urgent dental pain can be and our priority is to get you comfortable, treated, and cared for as quickly as possible. If you’re experiencing dental pain, swelling, or trauma, don’t wait. Prompt care can make the difference between saving or losing a tooth, and getting you out of pain sooner.
Call our office right away to be seen by a dentist who truly cares.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Not sure if what you are experiencing is an emergency? If you’re in pain or have any concerns, it’s always best to call. Some of the most common dental emergencies we treat include:
- Severe Toothache or Dental Pain
- Chronic, severe, or acute tooth pain may be a sign of infection, decay, nerve damage, or poor bite alignment. Dental pain rarely goes away on its own and often worsens quickly or becomes more costly without prompt treatment.
- Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth
- Whether caused by biting down on something hard, an accident, or trauma, damaged teeth can be painful and vulnerable to infection if not treated promptly.
- Knocked Out (Avulsed) or Loose Tooth
- A knocked out tooth is a true dental emergency. Acting quickly (within 30-60 minutes of it coming out) may allow the tooth to be saved. Loose adult teeth also need immediate evaluation and intervention to prevent further damage.
- Swelling, Abscesses, or Infection
- Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw, especially when accompanied by pain or fever, may indicate a dental abscess. A small pimple-like bump on the gums, or any fluid drainage also shows that your tooth may be infected. Infections can spread and become more serious if left untreated.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns
- A lost restoration can leave a tooth exposed, sensitive, and at risk for further damage. Timely care helps to protect the tooth and restore comfort.
Why Acting Fast Matters
Dental emergencies don’t just affect your comfort. They can impact your overall health. Delaying treatment can lead to:
- Increased pain and discomfort
- Worsening infection
- Permanent tooth damage or tooth loss
- More complex and costly treatment later
Seeking care as soon as possible allows us to address the problem early and provide the most conservative and effective treatment to benefit you.
