What to Do in a Dental Emergency
The first thing you should do is call our office to let us know what has happened. A member of our team will schedule a time for you to come in so that we can help you out of pain and address the root cause of your injury. When you arrive, we’ll quickly escort you to a room and begin taking digital images of your smile. From here, we can look at the unseen areas of your mouth as well as get you much-needed relief.
After creating a customized treatment plan, we’ll begin to take care of the situation so that you no longer have a damaged smile. Depending on the injury, you may be recommended for antibiotics, a dental filling, a dental crown, root canal treatment, tooth extraction, or another one of our many treatment options.
What If I Have a Dental Emergency After Hours?
Call Marvel Dental right away. We’re happy to help patients experiencing dental emergencies when they need us most. We offer same-day care in most cases, and we are happy to offer first-aid recommendations until patients reach our office.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Below is a list of the most common dental emergencies we treat in our Burleson office. Although you may not think your situation needs same-day care, it’s always better to be safe than sorry, as most dental injuries are unlikely to heal on their own. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to call our office.
How to Prevent a Dental Emergency
Sadly, there are many instances where dental emergencies are unavoidable. However, there are some steps you and your family can take to protect your smile and keep them shining brightly. These include:
- Exercise caution when eating foods that are particularly hard, chewy, or sticky.
- Don’t chew the ice in your drinks.
- When opening a new item that’s wrapped in difficult packaging, always use a pair of scissors instead of your own teeth.
- Always wear a mouthguard when participating in sporting events that could involve contact with a projectile, a hard surface, or another person.
- Attend checkups and cleanings at Marvel Dental every six months! Our team can locate and treat dental problems before they have the chance to develop into emergencies.
Contact Marvel Dental Today
These are some situations where our team may recommend going straight to your nearest emergency room instead of our Burleson, TX, practice. These include when the patient is experiencing heavy oral bleeding that isn’t subsiding with pressure or a badly injured jaw that could be broken. After your condition is stabilized and there’s no immediate danger, our team can discuss possible restorative and reconstructive solutions with you. Patients from Briaroaks, TX, and surrounding areas are welcome to contact us today for assistance!
