Is Your Situation a Dental Emergency?
It is not always easy to determine whether you’re experiencing a dental emergency, which is why we recommend that you call our office at 224-278-8282 for guidance. In general, a dental emergency is a situation requiring urgent care to alleviate severe pain, save a tooth, treat an infection, or stop bleeding.
If you're unsure of the type of emergency dental treatment you need, or you think you might need an emergency dental extraction, we highly encourage you to call our dental office and our team will do their best to fit you in to see our emergency dentist in your area.
Some situations can wait until the next day, like mild tooth pain, a lost crown or lost filling, food stuck between two teeth, or a minor tooth chip. Some dental emergencies such as a broken crown, broken filling, or a toothache might need immediate attention. If, however, you have an accident and cannot stop bleeding from the mouth or if you have any life-threatening emergency, call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room for immediate care.
The most common dental emergency we see at Smile Aesthetix Dental is dental trauma and pain. The pain may start as a dull ache that soon becomes excruciating. Tooth pain usually results from an infection that has made its way into the inner pulp, requiring a root canal treatment for prompt relief. It can also result from a cracked or broken tooth that may require extraction.
Other dental emergencies may include a cracked, broken, or chipped tooth or a lost restoration, such as a filling or crown. If in doubt, contact our office for guidance to ensure a small problem does not become a bigger one down the road.
