Offering Emergency Dental Services

There is a large range of dental emergencies you could potentially face. Toothaches, for example, could mean something more serious than just a simple ache or pain. It may be the result of a chipped or broken tooth, or it may be a more serious concern. You may have faced a hard facial impact of sorts or have had some kind of accident resulting in damaged teeth. Regardless of how your emergency came about, Dr. Lewis and the Coast Dental South Fort Myers team bring skill and experience to assist you with a variety of concerns.

Some of our many services include:

• Gum pain — Gum pain can be an uncomfortable and troubling experience, and it can be hard to know how serious it may be. Dr. Lewis can investigate and find the cause of the pain, providing you with much needed relief. Frequently, pain in the gums is a symptom of a problem with the deeper tissue.
• Cracked teeth — Cracked teeth can be unattractive, but they're also painful and may result in more severe issues if left untreated. Whether from jaw clenching, tooth grinding, or even physical trauma, cracked teeth are important to have assessed and repaired right away.
• Root canals — Root canals have long been touted as one of the scariest things about going to the dentist. With new techniques and medicine, though, root canals are no longer terrifying operations. Sometimes the pulp inside a tooth can become infected or inflamed, and it has to be removed before it affects the nerve further. A root canal removes that pulp and cleans out the tooth, allowing your tooth to remain healthy and a part of your smile.
• Damaged and avulsed teeth — Avulsed is a specific term relating to knocked-out teeth. Try as we might, we can't avoid every kind of emergency. Most often, knocked out, or avulsed teeth, are the result of some kind of physical trauma to the face. This can include car accidents and sports injuries. Seeking immediate care is the best course of action to ensure your teeth can be replanted in the socket. While restoration isn't always possible, Dr. Lewis will do his best to save your smile.
• Tooth extractions — Losing teeth is never what we want for our patients, but sometimes it becomes necessary with enough trauma. Teeth that are incredibly and irreversibly decayed, severely and fully cracked, and wisdom teeth are all situations that may require dental extraction. We do our best throughout your care to retain your teeth, but not every tooth can be saved. It's occasionally best to remove a tooth to save other teeth or to remain healthy.

Dental Emergency Prevention

Preventing dental emergencies is a massive part of dental care. We understand how difficult a dental crisis can be, and while not all of them can be prevented, there are precautions you can take to reduce your risk of them happening. Regular dental appointments can help prevent certain emergencies, so it's vital that you attend dental appointments consistently.

We recommend coming in about every six months to help you maintain a healthy and happy smile. We can assess the health of your teeth and remove buildup and plaque to keep you smiling for a long time.
