Common Reasons for
Emergency Dental Visits

Severe Toothaches

Toothaches can strike without warning, often due to decay, infection, or injury. Immediate treatment is essential to alleviate pain and address the underlying issue.

Dental Trauma

Accidents, falls, and sports injuries can cause broken or dislodged teeth. Our team provides urgent care to assess and repair the damage, helping you regain your smile.

Gum Infections

Infections like gingivitis and periodontitis can cause significant discomfort and require prompt treatment to prevent further complications.

Lost Dental Restorations

If you lose a crown, filling, or bridge, it can lead to sensitivity and discomfort. We offer same-day repairs to restore your dental function and comfort.

Broken or Cracked Teeth

Biting into something hard or experiencing trauma can result in broken or cracked teeth. Our emergency services ensure timely treatment to prevent further damage and pain.

Dental Abscesses

Dental abscesses are painful infections that require immediate attention. We provide effective treatments to drain the abscess and eliminate the infection, safeguarding your overall health.

Urgency of Dental Emergencies

Understanding the urgency of dental emergencies is crucial. Here’s how we classify them:

=

A. Highly Urgent:

Severe Toothaches with Swelling: Indicative of an abscess or deep infection.
Knocked-Out Tooth: Quick action is crucial for the possibility of tooth re-implantation.
Uncontrolled Bleeding after Dental Surgery: Requires immediate attention to prevent excessive blood loss and infection.
Dental Trauma with Loose Teeth: Prompt care is essential to stabilize teeth and prevent further damage.

=

B. Moderately Urgent:

Broken or Cracked Teeth with Pain: While not always highly urgent, addressing these issues promptly can prevent complications.
Lost Dental Restorations: Quick replacement or repair helps maintain oral function and prevents sensitivity.
Gum Infections with Swelling and Pain: Timely treatment can prevent the infection from spreading and causing more discomfort.

=

C. Less Urgent:

Mild to Moderate Toothaches: Depending on the cause, these may be addressed during regular dental hours.
Minor Gum Discomfort: Mild gum issues may not require immediate care but should not be ignored.

Treatments for Dental Emergencies

The appropriate treatment for a dental emergency depends on the specific condition. Here are some common treatments for different types of dental emergencies:

Toothaches

Treatment may involve addressing decay, infections, or gum disease through procedures such as fillings, root canals, or gum treatments.

Dental Trauma

Depending on the severity, treatments may include tooth re-implantation, bonding, veneers, or crowns to restore damaged teeth.

Gum Infections

Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotics, and oral hygiene instructions are common treatments for gum infections.

Lost Dental Restorations

Replacing or re-cementing lost fillings, crowns, or bridges helps restore tooth structure and function.

Broken or Cracked Teeth

Treatments may involve bonding, dental crowns, or root canals, depending on the extent of damage.

Dental Abscesses

Drainage of the abscess, antibiotics, and dental procedures to address the underlying cause are typically necessary.

Same-Day Emergencies Q & A

What are same-day dental emergencies?

Same-day dental emergencies are tooth or gum injuries or diseases that must be treated immediately. Contact Dr. Jeffrey B. Schoengold, DDS & Associates if you experience a dental emergency during the day.

What are some examples of same-day emergencies?

Dr. Jeffrey B. Schoengold, DDS & Associates diagnoses and treats several types of same-day emergencies, including:

Extruded (partially dislodged) teeth
Dental abscesses (swelling in the face or jaw)
Lost or broken dental restorations
Severe soft-tissue injuries (cuts that won’t stop bleeding)
Knocked-out teeth
Badly cracked or damaged teeth

You might benefit from same-day treatment if you have a severe toothache that doesn’t improve with ice or over-the-counter pain medication.

Are all oral health problems same-day emergencies?

No. Plenty of situations aren’t dental emergencies. For example, if you bite down on an ice cube and chip a tooth, see your dentist as soon as possible, but you can wait until the next day to make an appointment.

Common issues that aren’t same-day emergencies include:

Minor soft-tissue injuries (for example, cold sores)
Objects stuck between your teeth
Mild toothaches
Small chips and cracks

If your clear aligners crack or become warped, this isn’t a same-day emergency. Notify your dentist, who’ll order replacement appliances.

How are same-day emergencies diagnosed?

Your Dr. Jeffrey B. Schoengold, DDS & Associates provider reviews your dental records, completes an oral exam, and orders digital X-rays of your entire mouth.

Toothache

If you have a severe toothache, your provider might recommend root canal therapy. During root canal therapy, your provider removes the infected or inflamed pulp from inside your tooth and then covers it with a dental crown.

Knocked-out tooth

Your provider might recommend a dental implant or bridge if you lose a permanent tooth. Dental bridges and dental implants fill the gap in your smile, restoring your biting and chewing abilities.

Can same-day emergencies be prevented?

You can reduce your risk of same-day emergencies by maintaining good oral hygiene. Dr. Jeffrey B. Schoengold, DDS & Associates recommends brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing regularly, and visiting the office for routine preventive care.

To prevent tooth damage, wear a mouthguard when playing sports and avoid habits like nail biting and chewing on ice cubes.
