We will diagnose your issue as quickly as possible, administer any necessary pain relief, treat the issue, and get you back to smiling in no time.

Our emergency services include:

• Gum Pain Assessment—Your gums play a key role in your dental health. If you start to notice tenderness or pain, it is important to schedule an appointment with us. Dr. Sahawneh will be able to determine the cause of the pain and provide relief.
• Root Canal Therapy—Over time, root canals have been developed into a method that is quick and painless. A root canal is often performed to try and save a tooth that has severe damage or decay. This procedure helps prevent the need for a full tooth extraction.
• Avulsed Tooth Treatment—A tooth can become knocked out due to a bad fall or sporting accident. When this happens, it is important to have the area surrounding the socket assessed for further damage. The impact could cause damage to the root, tissue, and blood vessels surrounding the tooth. Other immediate concerns include chips, cracks, or breaks.
• Toothache Assessment—A toothache is most often a symptom of a larger concern that needs to be identified and treated by a professional. If left unattended, the discomfort and pain can become worse, especially when there are changes in pressure or temperature.
• Jaw Swelling Assessment—If your jaw becomes swollen, this could be a symptom of infection in the supporting tissue or jawbone itself. Dr. Sahawneh will be able to determine the cause of infection and prescribe the right treatment plan.
• Extractions—In some circumstances, it becomes impossible to save a tooth that is severely decayed or damaged. This tooth could pose an infection risk that may impact the health of surrounding teeth. An extraction will prevent the spread of infection and alleviate any pain associated with the damaged tooth.
• Crown Replacement—A crown is custom-fit to a specific tooth. If it becomes loose or falls out completely, you should seek emergency dental treatment as soon as possible. There is a good chance that the tooth has decayed further, causing an improper fit. Quick replacement is key to stop pain, prevent further damage, and restore a healthy chewing surface.
• Filling Replacement—Fillings can be made of several different materials, and some stand the test of time better than others. If a filling becomes loose, this could be due to the material, or decay of the tooth. You’ll want to have the filling replaced quickly to avoid damage to the tooth and the spread of infection or decay.

Are Dental Emergencies Avoidable?

Some dental emergencies are unavoidable, especially those caused by an unexpected accident. Others, however, can be avoided with proper oral hygiene practices. The easiest way to prevent a dental emergency is to care for your teeth regularly. Brushing at least twice a day and flossing at least once a day can help you familiarize yourself with your oral health and prevent the decay that is the root cause of many dental emergencies.

You should also schedule a cleaning and check-up twice a year. A professional cleaning and check-up allow our office to identify any changes in your oral health from your last visit. We can catch any small concerns that could turn into a major emergency in the future. We can also help fit you with a custom mouthguard to protect your teeth during contact sports.
