Emergency Services Available at Our Office

Dental emergencies can happen suddenly or slowly develop over time. If you've been living with an issue for a while, or are experiencing sudden changes in oral health, we can help. We are qualified to handle many different dental emergencies and strive to meet every patient's needs. Our services include:

• Toothache Relief- A toothache can start as a sharp pain that happens when there is a change in pressure or temperature. If left untreated, it can become worse, developing into a persistent ache that interferes with everyday life. Toothaches are more often a symptom of a dental emergency rather than the emergency itself. A toothache is a signal that something isn't right.
• Gum Pain Relief - Gum pain is often a sign that something is wrong within the deep tissue of the gums. Dr. Nayak will be able to determine the true source of the problem and provide the treatment needed for lasting relief.
• Jaw Swelling Relief - Any swelling or tenderness along your jaw could be a symptom of an infection that has spread through the supporting tissue and along the bone. We will help determine the source of the infection and ensure that the infection is completely treated to prevent any further complications.
• Avulsed Tooth - Accidents contribute to many emergency dental appointments. A blow to the face, jaw, or mouth can cause a tooth to chip, break, crack, or become avulsed. An avulsed tooth is one that has been completely knocked out. It is important to schedule an appointment with us when these accidents happen so that we can assess the extent of the damage that has taken place.
• Root Canal Therapy - This service helps to restore a natural tooth that has experienced severe damage or decay. It is an effort to rework the root connection to the tooth. This is often done on teeth that have required repeat fillings or crowns.
• Filling Replacement - Fillings can become loose or fall out. This can be due to the material used to make the filling weakening or changing shape over time, subpar dental work failing, or further decay of the tooth. A lost filling can cause you immediate discomfort. It is important to have your filling replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tooth.
• Extractions - An extraction is a full removal of a tooth that is decayed or otherwise damaged beyond repair. These teeth are often at risk of infection, and such infections can spread to healthy teeth when not treated. Extraction helps to prevent infection and relieve any pain associated with that area.

Steps to Avoid the Need for Emergency Dental Care

Many dental emergencies can be avoided with proper regular dental care. Keeping your mouth clean may seem obvious to some, but patients routinely admit not brushing or flossing as much as they should. This can lead to issues of decay over time, which is one of the biggest contributors to emergency dental services outside of accidents. Proper care at home is the best first step all patients can take. The next best step is scheduling regular six-month cleaning appointments at Coast Dental Killeen. This lets us keep a detailed track record of your oral health through x-rays and physical exams. We can catch small issues before they can turn into more complex issues or full-blown emergencies.

Schedule Your Emergency Dental Service

If you are experiencing any dental discomfort, even if it is minor, it is important to meet with a professional as soon as possible. Most dental problems will only become worse over time. We are ready and available to provide the pain relief you need, as well as provide the dental service that will restore your smile. You can contact our office any time at (855) 867-3691.
