Emergency services available

dental concerns can vary from addressing a minor toothache to reintroducing a tooth that was knocked out during a sporting event. No matter what the circumstances are, dr. Mutyala and the professionals at gateway family dentistry can help. When you visit our office, we will assess the extent of your dental concern and discuss the best treatment options for long-term relief.

Our services include:

• Extractions-While we always try to protect your natural teeth, there are circumstances where teeth need to be removed. This can be due to severe decay or damage. This procedure is often done when there is a risk of infection that could spread to healthy, surrounding teeth. Extractions often provide immediate pain relief and are easy to heal from.
• Toothache relief-A toothache is often experienced as a sharp, sudden pain. This pain can be especially prominent when eating or drinking something cold. Toothaches can vary from random aches to consistent aches that don't seem to have any relief. Regardless of the severity of your toothache, you should have it examined by a doctor as soon as possible. Toothaches can be part of a larger dental concern you may be unaware of.
• Tooth damage-Our teeth can become damaged, such as experiencing chips, cracks, breaks, or even complete knockouts. It is important to have any type of damage assessed by a professional. Knockouts can be especially serious due to the potential damage that may have been caused to the roots or surrounding tissue.
• Gum discomfort-Our gums have an important role to play in our overall dental health. You shouldn't have any pain or discomfort when it comes to your gums. If you do, it is important to have us take a close examination. This could be a sign of the start of a serious dental issue below the surface.
• Filling and crown repair or replacement-Your fillings and crowns are an important dental tool that is designed to protect teeth that have needed prior work. They are designed to provide a snug, lasting fit. However, they can become loose or fall out over time due to numerous circumstances. It is important to have these replaced if there is any sign of issues such as discomfort, looseness, or a piece completely missing. This helps to prevent any further damage.
• Root canal-This service can help to prevent a tooth from needing an extraction. This is often performed on teeth that may have previously needed crowns or fillings. We will carefully restore the root, reviving the health of the tooth.
• Infection assessment and treatment-Infections can be caused by several different dental issues. Most patients realize something is wrong due to an unpleasant smell or swelling of the face along the jaw. Any swelling tends to be an indication of infection that is spreading along the bone or tissue of the jaw. The infection must be cleared, as well as ensuring that the core cause gets treated.

Preventive measures to consider

dental emergencies can happen at any time. However, many emergencies can be avoided with the proper preventive measures. This includes scheduling regular examinations at our office. Meeting with us at least twice a year allows us to provide a deep clean, as well as examine above and below the surface to catch any potential concerns.

It is also beneficial to take care of your dental health at home. Consistent brushing and flossing at least twice a day can help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
