Emergency Services We Provide

A dental emergency can be caused by several factors. You may have had damage that became worse over time and is starting to interfere with your life. You may also have been involved in an accident that resulted in immediate dental distress. Whatever the cause of your dental issue, the experienced staff at Familia Dental Amarillo can help. Some of the services we provide include:

• Toothaches—A toothache is often experienced when there is a change in pressure or temperature, usually when someone is eating or drinking. It can start as a minor inconvenience but usually progresses in discomfort as time goes on. This is because a toothache is often a symptom of a larger issue that needs to be addressed. Until the true concern is addressed, the toothache will continue to get worse.
• Gum Pain—Pain or tenderness in your gums is a warning sign of an issue in the deeper tissue of the gums. You need to have a professional with the right equipment examine the area to determine the true cause of the discomfort.
• Jaw Swelling—Your jaw can become swollen due to an issue with your oral health. The swelling is often caused by an infection that is spreading along the bone and the connecting tissue. Proper treatment and medicine are necessary to provide permanent relief.
• Root Canal—This service is usually necessary to restore a tooth that has become severely damaged or decayed. In some instances, this tooth may have already needed repeat fillings or crowns. A root canal helps prevent the need for extraction, maintaining your natural smile.
• Extractions—If a tooth becomes too damaged, or is badly infected, an extraction can be the best option. Removing the tooth helps to alleviate any pain associated with the tooth as well as prevent the infection from spreading to other teeth.
• Avulsed Tooth—More commonly referred to as a tooth that has been knocked out, this is usually associated with some type of accident. When a tooth becomes fully dislodged it is important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. In many situations, the tooth can be reintroduced to the root and successfully reconnect. Even if this isn't an option, quick care is necessary to ensure there hasn't been any additional damage to the surrounding blood vessels and tissue. Other dental concerns include chips, cracks, or breaks.
• Filling or Crown Loss—Losing a filling or crown can cause immediate discomfort. A filling or crown shouldn't fall out, so when this happens you need to seek treatment so we can replace the lost dental piece as quickly as possible. This allows us to determine why it became loose and prevent any further damage to your tooth.

Avoiding Emergency Dental Care

A dental emergency can happen at any time. While many dental emergencies are unavoidable, the majority of them can be circumvented with proper dental care. This begins at home. Regular brushing and flossing help to prevent decay. This also helps you become more familiar with the look and feel of your gums and teeth, allowing you to spot any changes and report them to your dentist.

The next best step is scheduling regular six-month checkups with Familia Dental Amarillo. This allows our team to keep a track record of your dental health, both above and below the surface. This helps us catch any minor problems before they can get worse. This means you maintain great oral health and avoid the need for emergency care.
