Emergency Dental Services Available

Astoria Dental group offers a wide range of emergency dental services. We address issues with decay and damage, ranging in levels of severity. Regardless of your dental concern, you can rest assured that you will receive a detailed examination and a breakdown of your various treatment options. This ensures we can address any pain issues you are experiencing and provide the best service for lasting relief.

Our Services Include:

• Damage Repair- Our teeth are strong but not invincible. Teeth can be susceptible to cracks, breaks, or even knockouts. Tooth weakness can be caused by decay over time or damage that can be abrupt. The severity of damage can vary significantly, which is why it is best to have a professional examine the problem. This helps protect the remaining teeth and provides any necessary pain relief.
• Gum Pain Assessment- Healthy gums are vital to our overall oral health. Our gums can indicate issues through bleeding or pain, which is usually caused by an issue under the tissue. Dr. Degel can provide the close examination necessary to determine the true cause of pain.
• Toothache Assessment- Toothaches are a common indicator of serious dental concern in the making. Toothaches are often experienced as a sharp pain when a significant change in pressure or temperature occurs. Most toothaches will worsen in time when left untreated. It is important to have any tooth discomfort examined.
• Filling or crown repair- Most individuals have either a filling or crown due to some type of damage or decay. This common service is designed to help protect a tooth from additional damage. Fillings and crowns are designed to last for years, but certain materials, or further damage to a tooth, can cause fillings and crowns to become loose or fall out. Quickly replacing a filling or crown that has fallen out is necessary to prevent further damage.
• Root Canal- This procedure can save a tooth on track for extraction. It restores the connection between root and tooth, preventing tooth death. This procedure is minimally invasive, and recovery time is fast and pain-free.
• Extractions- In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to remove a tooth completely. A tooth that is severely damaged can cause pain and create a risk for serious infection. Removal provides pain relief as well as protects the surrounding teeth and gums from further issues.
• Jaw Swelling- Dental emergencies can start under the surface of your gums, making it difficult to detect initially. Infections can spread under the gum line, spreading across the jaw bone and surrounding muscle. Common signs of infection can include a bad taste in the mouth, an unpleasant smell, or swelling along the jawline. Properly detecting and addressing the infection is key to lasting relief.

Avoiding a Dental Emergency

A dental emergency can interfere with several aspects of your life. You may have to deal with repeat visits, recovery time, and changes in your eating and drinking habits. While most services are minimally invasive and require little recovery, this isn't always true. Prevention is the best solution. At Astoria Dental Group, we provide tools and tips to help our patients minimize the likelihood of serious dental issues.

We recommend a commitment to at-home dental care that involves brushing and flossing. We also suggest that our patients schedule routine cleaning with our office at least twice a year. This allows us to take x-rays and provide a detailed examination. It also allows us to catch minor changes before they become a larger issue. If you participate in high-contact sports, we also advise our patients to invest in quality dental guards.
