Our Emergency Dental Services

A dental emergency is more than just a random accident that might have caused damage to your teeth. Emergencies can also stem from discomfort caused by long-term damage or decay over time. Many patients make the mistake of thinking discomfort is only temporary so they don't seek care until they are fully engulfed in debilitating pain and their crisis has escalated. Our team can provide the care you need to recover from your unique dental concern without the need for suffering. Our emergency dental services include:

• Infection Treatment—Oral infections can happen for several reasons including decay. Specific teeth can become infected, and this infection can spread. Infections can present themselves differently, but one common occurrence is the swelling of your jaw. Swelling of your jaw happens when an infection is present along the bone or supporting tissue. It is important to have the source properly treated to prevent the further spread of infection.
• Avulsed Tooth—Commonly referred to as a knocked-out tooth, this is often caused by a hard blow to the face, jaw, or mouth. This is usually related to some kind of accident, mainly through sports activities that require some form of contact. Whatever the cause might be, it is important to let us examine the area as quickly as possible. We will need to examine the socket to ensure that there isn't any further damage. Other tooth damage includes chips, breaks, and cracks. While not as severe as a fully dislodged tooth, they should still be examined by a medical professional.
• Toothache Alleviation—A toothache can be a sharp, sudden pain, usually experienced when there is a change in temperature or pressure. It can also be a consistent ache that persists throughout your day, and could even keep you tossing and turning at night. A toothache is rarely a problem in itself. It is usually a symptom of a larger concern that requires treatment for permanent relief.
• Extraction Procedures—If you have a tooth that is a persistent problem, or is infected, the best option could be to have the tooth completely removed. This helps to protect the surrounding teeth and relieve any pain associated with the damaged tooth.
• Filling or Crown Replacement—Fillings and crowns play a crucial role in protecting a tooth that has already required work. If one becomes loose or falls out completely, it needs to be replaced as soon as possible. This provides pain relief and helps to protect the problem tooth from being damaged any further.
• Root Canal Procedure—A root canal can help revive a tooth that is severely decayed or damaged, or if a tooth has needed repeat fillings or crowns. This service can provide the relief you need while also keeping your natural smile.
• Gum Pain Alleviation—Your gums play an important role in your dental health. If you notice any issues, especially pain, you should contact Familia Dental Elgin immediately. This is often a symptom of a larger issue in the deep tissue. We have the experience and tools necessary to properly diagnose the cause of the problem.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

Accidents happen, and many are unavoidable. Some emergency dental concerns we see are created by split-second accidents that happen during a sporting event, for example. This is why we suggest to patients who play sports to invest in a custom dental guard. This can protect your teeth if you get hit too hard. Many other dental concerns are caused by decay over time. The best way to prevent these issues is to make your dental health a priority. This includes your commitment to brushing and flossing at home, as well as your commitment to receiving professional care. We suggest a cleaning appointment every six months at Familia Dental Elgin. This allows us to keep a close record of your dental health which helps us to spot any minor issues before they can reach the level of requiring emergency treatment.
