Emergency Dental Services in Aurora, IL

Emergencies often strike when we're the least prepared to deal with them. Dental emergencies, such as toothaches, tooth decay, tooth loss, or even a knockout tooth, all need to be handled quickly so that the problem doesn't grow out of control. However, it's not always possible to meet with your routine dentist on short notice, and the longer you wait, the worse the problem will get. Your best alternative is to take action promptly; for people in Aurora, IL, Dr. Michael Thomas and his team at West Aurora Family Dental are here to help no matter what dental issue you have.

Emergency Dental Services

Dental emergencies can come in various scenarios, but all of them are similar in that they're painful, distracting, and often dangerous. If left unchecked, then the problems will simply stick around, often spreading to other parts of the mouth or getting more painful. Luckily, there's no need to live with the problem or let it get worse. Dr. Michael Thomas and the team at West Aurora Family Dental can treat all manner of dental emergencies so that you can go back to smiling.

These services include:

• Toothache relief: A toothache can be caused by several things, such as a bacterial infection, injury, or even a difficult bite of food. Not only is it incredibly painful and distracting, but if left untreated, the problem won't simply go away on its own. Instead, it will increase the chances of complications. Trust Dr. Michael Thomas to figure out what's causing the ache and fix it for you.
• Gum pain assessment: Similar to a toothache, gum pain comes from a few things, and all of them are painful and quick-spreading. The problem might be bad enough to make your gums bleed during brushing and flossing, or they might also hurt when touched. The problem needs to be addressed early. A visit to our office will help you get it solved.
• Tooth damage correction: Chips and cracks in the teeth might not seem like a major deal as long as you can still eat and brush properly, but that's not true. Aside from the pain, damaging your teeth only exposes you to greater damage in the future, and if the damage is severe enough, the tooth might need to be removed. The team of West Aurora Family Dental can repair the damages or offer you a replacement if necessary.
• Jaw swelling treatment: A swollen jaw usually comes from a bacterial infection. Any damage to the jaw can disrupt your dental system, but the swelling can be especially bad if the infection spreads to the surrounding gums and other tissue. Before it gets out of hand, our team can get rid of the infection and reduce the swelling with skill.
• Tooth loss: Teeth can be lost in the event of a bad facial injury or gum decay, and significant damage can require your tooth to be pulled to stop it from getting worse. However the tooth loss happens, it's often a distressing experience for most patients, and the surrounding tissue will require cleanup. Dr. Michael Thomas will restore the gum socket, remove any extra damage, and offer you a replacement tooth.
• Crown and filling loss: While crowns and fillings are designed to protect your teeth from damage and are meant to be permanent, this isn't always the case. Severe decay can cause these fillings to fall out, and if they're made of weak or corrosive metals, they can get lost spontaneously as well. Losing a crown or filling can be painful and dangerous. Our team will replace them for you, correct any damages, and treat infections.
• Root canal: Often considered the most painful dental procedure, root canals are necessary to fix a large amount of decay and to prevent you from losing your tooth. During your procedure, our team will be considerate of your discomfort, making sure you feel at ease and that the procedure gets completed as fast as possible to minimize the pain.

How To Avoid a Dental Emergency

While it's good to have a place to go in case of a sudden dental emergency, it's always preferable not to need that help in the first place. Caring properly for your teeth can minimize your risk. Practice proper dental hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding foods that are too sugary or too crunchy, and calling your regular dentist if you have any concerns. It's not possible to always avoid problems, and some things are outside of your control, but being proactive can help you avoid issues like bacterial infections or spreading decay.
