Do you need an emergency dentist?

A dental emergency can occur at any moment, leaving you with an oral health problem that needs urgent care. Or, you might have been worrying about increasing dental pain for some time before you realize that the situation is truly urgent and you need dental care right away.

Dental emergencies need to be addressed promptly. Without the right emergency dental care, you could experience lasting oral and whole-body health complications. Your mouth is a gateway to the rest of your body, and oral health issues can cause problems in areas like your heart.

Dental emergencies are often acutely painful, as well, meaning that emergency dental care may be an urgent matter in terms of your comfort and pain levels.

What can be addressed with emergency dentistry?

You might need an emergency dentist visit due to:

• A loose or knocked-out tooth 
• A filling breaking loose
• A cracked or broken tooth 
• Damage to a crown
• An infected tooth
• Severe tooth-related pain

Emergency dentistry stabilizes your oral condition and saves your teeth and gums when possible. Your provider at Smiles of Fort Worth may also prescribe pain relief medication and suggest oral flushing or other at-home care techniques. You may need additional follow-up care after emergency dental treatment.
