When to Seek Emergency Dentistry Services
Emergency dental issues have to be handled immediately, otherwise, the condition can worsen, putting you in danger of infection, tooth loss, or both.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat at Hsieh Dental Corporation
Bleeding
Extreme and severe bleeding of the gums may drive emergency dental care. Patients who have continuous cuts in their mouth from consuming certain foods, or are involved in an accident require emergency dentistry as soon as possible. The dentist can help halt the bleeding before other measures are undertaken. Also, patients suffering from gingivitis should seek medical attention if the symptoms get out of control. Severe cases of gingivitis can lead to severe bleeding from the gums.
Knocked-Out Tooth
If your tooth is knocked out, you have little time to save it. You have to visit our dentist quickly, preferably in less than an hour to have the tooth reinserted into the socket. The chances of saving the tooth are higher if you get to us early. Do not handle the knocked-out tooth by its root. Make sure you keep it moist in the mouth or in a container with milk or saliva. Call our office right away to talk to our emergency dentist if you have a knocked out tooth.
Extreme Tooth Pain
Severe tooth pain that doesn't subside could indicate an underlying issue that needs immediate dental attention. You may have an infected tooth, need a root canal, have a cracked tooth or something else painful that is going on. Pain indicates that something is wrong and treatment is needed. Our dentist can discover the cause and provide relief fast. As you prepare to reach us, you can use a cold compress to minimize the pain in the meantime.
Soft Tissue Injuries
If you have cut gums and other soft tissue injuries in the mouth such as cut cheeks and lips, you can visit our dentist for treatment. Soft tissue injuries like cuts and punctures can be painful and present risks of infection. These injuries can occur due to an accidental biting down of your lip, a slip of floss or toothbrush, or the sharp edge of a tooth chip inflicting a cut.
Abscess
These infections affect the mouth, especially near the root of a tooth or in between the space of the teeth and gums. When left untreated, these infections can spread to the surrounding teeth and gums, as well as the rest of the body. This is not something to ignore. Dental abscesses definitely contribute to the emergency seeking of a dentist.
Dental Trauma
Most people automatically associated dental trauma with the outward physical damage done to teeth and gums. These symptoms are pretty obvious to note. If the teeth have been cracked or chipped, those are easy to see. Patients can feel the rough edges by running their tongue across their teeth to determine if a tooth has been damaged. Also, there may be significant amounts of bleeding in the oral cavity. This is natural when an injury occurs to the oral cavity.
What many patients fail to realize is that yes, there are obvious signs of injury when the teeth or soft tissue are damaged by trauma, but there are other types of damage which are not as easy to spot. Those can include damage to the jawbone or the temporomandibular joint, also known as the TMJ. Injuries sustained to these areas can cause teeth or the jaw to become misaligned which can lead to complications which might require surgery. Therefore, it is very important to seek emergency dental care if you have any type of dental trauma.
Why Choose Charlie Hsieh Dental Corporation for Dental Emergencies?
In addition to urgent dental emergencies, we can also see you for:
Dental Crowns
We place dental crowns to resolve numerous issues including chippings, fractures, and breaks. We also place crowns when you need dental implants. A porcelain crown may be needed when your tooth is weak due to fracturing or breaks and the pieces need to be held together to enhance the tooth's function and strength. After receiving root canal treatment, dental crowns come in handy to provide added protection.
Dental Bonding
Many teeth problems can be resolved with dental bonding including fractures, chippings, discoloration, and breaks. Our dental bonding material blends with your tooth color, ensuring that you have a natural-looking smile.
Dental Filling
Broken, chipped, or worn teeth can be repaired with tooth-colored composite fillings. The tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with the tooth structure and provide additional support. Such fillings come in a variety of hues, allowing you to match them to the color of your natural teeth.
