3 Common Emergency Dental Situations

One of the most important steps in getting the emergency dental care you need is knowing whether your situation is considered an emergency. It's important to understand the distinction between an emergency and a nonemergency situation, as various situations left without immediate attention can cause more significant complications. Our team is here to explain some of the most common emergency dental situations, which include:

1. Chipped or Broken Teeth: Your teeth are naturally durable and can withstand decades of biting and chewing. However, they're still susceptible to wear and trauma. If an accident has cracked or chipped your tooth, it's vital that you receive emergency care as it can cause pain and allow harmful bacteria to enter your tooth.
2. Oral Abscesses: When your tooth is infected, it can cause painful abscesses to appear near the infected tooth. Without emergency dental care, infection can spread to the rest of your mouth and even your body. Our team is here to eliminate infection and treat any abscesses in your mouth.
3. Excessive Bleeding: Although it can be normal to experience some bleeding when you floss or brush your teeth, it's not normal to experience excessive bleeding. If you're experiencing heavy bleeding around one or multiple teeth, we recommend contacting our office to be seen as soon as possible.

Catering to Your Emergency Dental Needs

When you first contact our dental office, we'll work to determine whether your situation constitutes an emergency. If you call us during our normal business hours, our staff will work to schedule you for a same-day appointment. On the other hand, if you call us after hours, leave a voicemail or send an email, and our team will return it as soon as we open the next day. Once you're in our office for an emergency appointment, our dentist will conduct an extensive oral exam and determine which of our services is right for you. They'll also take that time to answer any questions you may have, as we never want you to feel like you're being left in the dark about your oral health.

Some of the Whitby emergency dentistry services we offer include:

• Root Canal Therapy: Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that eliminates bacteria from your tooth's pulp and prevents the occurrence of future infections. Our dentist will begin the procedure by administering a local anesthetic to numb the area around your tooth. They'll then create an opening in your tooth to remove any infected tissue from its pulp. Our dentist will then thoroughly clean the pulp chamber and root canals and fill your pulp chamber with special antibacterial material to help prevent the tooth from becoming infected in the future. Finally, we protect your tooth with a restoration such a crown or filling.
• Tooth Extractions: Our goal is to save your teeth whenever possible, but various circumstances can make emergency tooth extraction the best course of action. We'll begin the process by thoroughly numbing the area around your affected tooth. When the area has been sufficiently numbed, our dentist will skillfully extract your tooth. Our dental staff will then place gauze on the open socket to reduce bleeding and help the area properly heal. Finally, we'll provide you with detailed post-operative instructions on how to care for the extraction site at home.
