We Handle Dental Emergencies of All Types

While you might not be able to predict when an emergency will happen, it's important to seek help as soon as one does. Dental emergencies can quickly cause pain and damage when left untreated.

At Universal Dental of South Holland, we can help with dental emergencies like:

• Extractions

  Emergency extractions are needed much more often than people realize. Impacted, crowded teeth or teeth that show signs of infection, damage, or decay may all be reasons for an emergency extraction to take place. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms as well as pain, that may be a sign that you need an emergency extraction. Contact an emergency dentist ASAP to have your tooth examined.

• Root Canals

  Root canals are another common emergency procedure. They often happen when a patient has problems with their filling, a deep cavity, damage, chipped, or cracked teeth. Tooth decay can also cause the need for a root canal if the tooth is still salvageable. If you notice discoloration or infection as well as pain, you may need an emergency root canal. Make sure you contact a professional immediately to be looked at.

• Filling Repair

  Because fillings commonly fail, emergency filling repair is needed often. If there is evidence of severe tooth decay or damage to the filling or tooth, the filling will most likely need to be repaired. By going to your dentist regularly, early signs of problematic fillings can be identified before they fail. But sometimes they do fail unexpectedly. When this happens, it's best to contact emergency dental help as soon as possible.

• Crown Repair

  When you damage or lose a crown, it can be extremely painful, and you should not go long without seeking professional care for it. A damaged tooth or crown can continue to cause damage and harsh pain the longer it goes without being treated. If you lose a crown or believe something is wrong with one of yours, contact an emergency dentist to have it looked at.

• Cracked Teeth

  It's easy to accidentally crack or chip a tooth. Excessive grinding of your teeth or biting into food that is too hard can cause a tooth to crack on the spot. A tooth can also crack from more serious problems like a blow to the mouth. If you experience any cracking in a tooth, get it examined immediately to avoid further damage and pain.

• Severe Toothaches

  While toothaches every once in a while are common for some, excessively painful toothaches that happen consistently are not. If you are experiencing constant, harsh toothaches, they may be a sign of a more serious dental issue. Contact an emergency dentist ASAP to help find the root of your toothaches and relieve your pain.

• Gum Swelling/Pain

  Swollen gums can be a common sign of infection in a tooth or gum disease. When left without the care they need, swollen gums can cause discomfort and even problems eating. If you are experiencing gum swelling that doesn't seem to go away, contact emergency dental services to help resolve the problem and relieve the inflammation.

• Jaw Swelling/Pain

  Jaw swelling can be caused by multiple issues like an impacted tooth, severe decay, or infection. It occurs when the jaws are inflamed, and fluid gathers in or around them. Constant jaw swelling that won't go away is almost always a sign of an underlying dental problem. If you're experiencing swollen jaws and you're unsure why, make sure to make an emergency dentist appointment to have them looked at.

• Broken Teeth

  Broken teeth are not only painful, but they are extremely vulnerable to bacteria and infection. That's why it's so important to get them treated quickly. The cause of your tooth breaking may also affect how salvageable the tooth may be. In cases with broken wisdom teeth, for example, it is sometimes easiest to just extract the tooth rather than trying to fix it. If you broke a tooth, contact a dental professional ASAP.

• Emergency Dental Repair

  It's easy for something to happen to your teeth. That's why emergency dental repair covers all the areas of regular dental care on short notice. Whether you bit candy that chipped your tooth, or you somehow lost an entire tooth, emergency dental repair can help examine and treat your problems quickly.
