All Emergencies Welcome

In cases of an emergency, Dr. Septimiu Pastiu can provide pain relief and restore your dental health so you can return to your daily life free from discomfort. Common emergencies our staff can handle include:

• Toothaches—Toothaches are among the most common dental emergencies and can be especially painful. They can be caused by a number of things, including cavities, gum disease, and even grinding your teeth at night.
• Broken Teeth—In some cases, a tooth might break and become loose. This can cause pain and make it challenging to eat or speak. Contact EHT Dental Arts right away if this happens to you or a loved one.
• Swelling/Bleeding—Swelling and bleeding are often caused by an injury to the mouth and need prompt attention to avoid further damage. If you experience swelling or bleeding in your mouth, schedule an emergency appointment right away for treatment.
• Knocked Out Teeth—Auto accidents, sports injuries, falls, and even pets can cause teeth to get knocked out of your mouth. If this happens, please come see us as soon as possible; some teeth can be placed back into the mouth, or your emergency dentist can discuss potential restoration options.
• Cavities and Infections—A cavity is a common dental issue that can lead to a painful emergency. Infections within the mouth can quickly spread. If you are experiencing a cavity or infection, seek treatment immediately to prevent additional damage.
• Lost Fillings or Crowns—Dental restorative procedures are meant to improve your smile and prevent the spread of infection, decay, and pain to other areas of your mouth. If you have lost a filling or crown, it is important to come to see us right away for a replacement.
• Abscesses—Abscesses occur after a cavity or other oral infection is allowed to continue too long, and spreads to the tooth's pulp. This can cause swelling and a pocket of pus to form at the tooth site. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's crucial schedule an emergency appointment so the infection will not continue to spread to the rest of the body.

These are just some of the few emergencies we see on a regular basis. If you find yourself experiencing one of these issues or any dental emergency at all, contact Dr. Septimiu Pastiu and EHT Dental Arts to schedule an emergency appointment.

Prevent a Dental Emergency

While dental emergencies can happen to anyone at any time, there are certainly some things you can do to prevent many of the dental issues listed above. Preventive tips include:

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brushing your teeth twice a day is one of the best and most effective ways to protect your oral health. If you are brushing regularly, you are keeping your teeth strong and healthy and less likely to experience a dental emergency.
• Floss daily, especially after meals. Flossing is one of the most important things that you can do to protect your teeth and gums. It helps to remove plaque and even bacteria from between your teeth and below the gum line. If you don't floss regularly, this can lead to a buildup of bacteria that results in cavities or gum disease.
• Rinse daily with an antiseptic mouthwash. If you are not flossing regularly, it is important to use a mouthwash that kills harmful bacteria and helps keep your mouth healthy.
• Get regular dental checkups and cleanings. An effective way to prevent dental emergencies is to see your dentist at least twice yearly for regular checkups and cleanings. This will help us identify any potential problems early on and give you a chance to discuss treatment options.

By following these tips, you can help to prevent many of the most common dental emergencies from occurring. However, if you do experience a dental emergency, please don't hesitate to call Dr. Pastiu and EHT Dental Arts for help. We are here to provide high quality, efficient emergency care for you and your teeth.
