In a recent blog, we talked about how we can help restore a broken tooth. An injury such as this can happen to anyone, even when you do your best to keep your smile safe. If you have broken or knocked out a tooth, or are experiencing any other dental emergency, our team is here to help. In today’s blog, your team at Sunny Smiles is here to talk about our same-day urgent treatments.
Damage To Your Smile Is An Emergency
If you have chipped, broken, or knocked out a tooth, you need urgent dental care. You may think this type of harm is insignificant and can be treated at home, but the reality is that this type of harm can put your smile at risk. Even a minor injury, like chipping your enamel, can expose the layers of your dental structure and cause discomfort that should be addressed promptly. An injury that causes bleeding, discomfort, or swelling around your mouth should be considered an emergency. Our team is here for you at all times to help treat the problem.
Have A Plan For Injuries
Injuries like this can happen at any time, even when you do your best to avoid them. One of the best ways you can protect your smile is by knowing what to do in the event of an emergency. If you have injured a tooth, you can apply a cold compress and take over-the-counter pain relievers to increase your comfort while you wait for treatment. After the injury has been assessed, you should then call your dental team as soon as possible. Our team will do their best to get you in for an appointment as soon as possible. We may be able to advise you on how to best manage the situation until the doctor can see you. Remember that the sooner you come in for treatment, the sooner we can help restore the damaged area.
Restorative Treatments Help Repair Your Smile
Our team is experienced in treating a range of injuries. When you come in for your emergency visit, our team will assess the damage and carefully examine your teeth and gums. Then, your dentist can discuss potential treatment options with you. Injuries such as fractures or chips may be treated with dental crowns to protect and strengthen the area. If you have knocked out a tooth, your dentist may be able to carefully clean the area and replace the lost structure with a bridge or implant. We can also help treat severe cavities or infections with root canals.
