When Should I Try to Find Emergency Dental Services?

I’m not sure if I should call an emergency dental office near me. How do I know if my condition calls for urgent dental care?

Emergency dentists in Riverview will treat the following conditions as emergencies:

Broken or Fractured Teeth

If you break or fracture a tooth, call our office. Arrange to have emergency dentists look at the tooth and determine the best way to repair the tooth to prevent additional damage.

Knocked-Out Teeth

Milk can preserve a knocked out tooth if you can’t place it back in the socket after holding the tooth by the crown and rinsing it off. While milk is ideal, don’t waste precious time if milk isn’t handy; put the tooth in your mouth and hold it there. Call our office for emergency dental care during our regular office hours.

Severe Toothache Pain or Pressure

Toothaches can be caused by a number of issues, including decay and infection. Emergency dentists can diagnose and treat the problem, which will alleviate the pain.

Tooth Sensitivity

Sudden, severe tooth sensitivity could indicate a fractured tooth. Call our office to schedule an appointment and we will see you as quickly as we can.

Dental Decay (Cavities)

Deep dental decay (cavities) can cause severe pain. Call our emergency dental office and one of our dentists will relieve the pain and determine the best way to treat the affected tooth to save it if possible.

Abscessed Tooth

You need emergency dental care to treat an abscessed tooth. There could be serious health consequences if you delay getting treatment, in addition to pain that gets worse if you postpone getting treatment.

Lost or Loose Fillings

Decay under your filling could cause it to become loose or the filling may be old. In either case, we can help with replacing a lost or loose filling after ensuring there is no decay in the cavity.

Broken Crowns or Lost Restorations

Lost crowns or broken restorations need prompt attention to protect the tooth underneath, as well as for cosmetic purposes. Call our office to have one of our dentists repair your crown or get you a temporary crown if yours is lost.

Orthodontic Pain or Injuries

Brackets and wires that are out of place can cause orthodontic pain or injuries. Our dentists are skilled at stabilizing braces and relieving discomfort.

Tooth Enamel Worn by Teeth Grinding

If your teeth have become painfully sensitive from tooth enamel worn by teeth grinding, one of our dentists can help, along with fitting you for a bruxism night guard.

Sinus Pressure

Sinus pressure accompanied by a toothache could indicate impacted wisdom teeth or a dental infection.
