Emergency Dental Treatments

No one knows when a dental emergency will arise. It makes sense to know a location that offers such care before one happens. Some emergencies include a broken tooth, an abscess or infection, and root canal procedures.

A painful tooth, or one that has been knocked out or loosened, is an easy to notice dental emergency. These may require antibiotics, root canal, or even just a filling to correct, but waiting for treatment will not only draw out the pain but can lead to more complications and become harder to repair.

Infections and abscess that are delayed in treatment can lead to its spread. A broken tooth or required root canal can develop into an infection. For this reason it is important to seek treatment when a dental emergency arises, Maxilla Dental is prepared to treat all your emergency dental needs, helping you to stay healthy and keep your natural teeth as long as possible.

Additional emergency services can include repair of a broken denture, replacing a lost filling, or repairing a chipped tooth before it worsens and requires increased levels of treatment or additional procedures.

The goal of emergency dental treatments is to solve an immediate problem and prepare the tooth or teeth for further treatment when the immediate risk is addressed.

An infected tooth or one with a deep cavity may require antibiotics and possibly drainage first followed up by a schedule for a regular visit to fill the cavity, or to remove a root canal on the tooth after the infection has been cleared. Our walk-in dental clinic is able to do both the emergency dental treatment as well as the follow-up to complete the process. Blending emergency dentistry with family dentistry allows for the procedures to be completed by the same dentist for continuity in care and an ongoing relationship with our patients.

Same-Day Emergency Dentistry

When untreated, dental emergencies are likely to worsen. Same day treatments are important for saving the tooth, limiting the chances of worsening, and managing the pain associated with the emergency the day it occurs.

Same day treatment is important as dental emergencies can lead to infections. Untreated infections can spread not only to other areas of the mouth, but also to the face and even into the blood stream. A loosened tooth can become a lost tooth if same day treatment is not sought, and a cavity can end up as a root canal if it is not addressed quickly. Broken teeth can be damaged to the point of removal if it is not treated promptly.

Why Choose Maxilla Dental for Your Emergency Needs?

Our emergency dental clinic not only provides regular care such as dental fillings, but also same day emergency treatments when needed. We use modern and up to date equipment and procedures to offer the best treatment to our patients for best possible outcomes.

Urgent Dental Care Services

Some dental needs are urgent but may not be considered emergency. They include missing filling that doesn’t affect the root, a chip in the tooth that doesn’t affect the bite or root without proving pain, a cavity that needs filling. While there may be some discomfort there usually isn’t a lot of pain in an urgent dental situation, where bleeding and pain are involved it is most often an emergency situation. We provide care for all urgent dental needs and often stop them from becoming a dental emergency.

What to do in a dental emergency ?

When a dental emergency arises, it is important to contact and emergency dental clinic immediately and seek treatment as soon as possible.
