What procedures are typically performed in a dental emergency?

Some of the universal procedures performed in a dental emergency include dental fillings, root canals, tooth splinting, dental crowns, and tooth extractions.

  • Dental fillings are commonly used to restore cracked teeth or repair minor cavity issues. If you have lost your dental filling, your dentist can recommend replacing it.
  • Root canals are performed when your tooth's pulp or nerves become infected. Root canal therapy minimizes pain and can help preserve your teeth.
  • Tooth splinting is often used to stabilize a loose tooth. It usually involves replacing the tooth into the correct position by attaching it to nearby healthy teeth.
  • Dental crowns are used to cover and protect a broken or damaged tooth. You can get your CEREC crown in a 2-hour appointment.
  • Teeth extractions are performed when a tooth is too damaged to be saved. A tooth extraction can help to relieve pain and prevent severe complications.

Is a toothache a dental emergency?

Toothaches are the most common dental emergency. A toothache could indicate an infection, which is a serious dental condition and may require emergency root canal therapy. If you have a toothache that won’t go away after a day or two and only gets worse, you should come to Eagle Mountain Dentistry for a consultation right away.

Is a knocked-out tooth a dental emergency?

Yes, and it’s one of the most urgent dental emergencies. To save your tooth, it must be replaced within 1-2 hours, and it’s best to replace it within 30 minutes, if possible. Call us immediately, recover your tooth and put it in a container of cold milk, and come into Eagle Mountain Dentistry as soon as you possibly can. The sooner you get help, the more likely it is that Dr. Renas can save your tooth.

Is a cracked tooth a dental emergency?

When you have a cracked tooth, you should check whether the crack is on your tooth's surface or if it extends into the root. A simple crack may not be a dental emergency, but a cracked tooth that extends into the root should be handled by a professional. If you are unsure whether your cracked tooth is an emergency, it is best to book an appointment with your dentist immediately.

At Eagle Mountain Dentistry, we are equipped to handle all sorts of dental emergencies, including cracked teeth. We offer 24/7 emergency dental care. Regardless of the time, we will be there for you.

What do I do if my dental work falls out?

If your dental work falls out, there are some things you should do:

Locate the fallen piece of dental work. If you can find it, gently clean it off with warm water and soap. You can then try putting it in a secure container. Try rinsing your mouth out with warm water. This will help to remove any debris that may cause discomfort. You can take an over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen to help with pain or swelling. Then, give our office a call and we can help schedule an appointment to fix the problem. It is worth noting that dental emergencies can quickly become medical emergencies if they are not treated correctly and promptly.

Once you visit our office, Dr. Renas will assess the situation to determine if it is possible to repair or replace the dental work. The procedure used will depend on the severity of the issue, the type of dental work done, and your overall oral health.
