Emergency Dental Services Available at Alpha Dental Center-Seabreeze

Dr. Michelle Whelan and her team are experienced in handling whatever dental emergency comes our way. We understand each situation is unique and requires thorough quality care. Whether you’ve been experiencing discomfort for a while, or if you had a sudden accident that requires immediate care, let us help. We provide services such as:

• Toothache Relief- A toothache can often be a warning sign of a larger issue at hand. When left untreated, this pain can become more frequent or more intense, and the underlying condition can become worse. Proper treatment is necessary for permanent relief.
• Gum Pain Relief- Any pain or tenderness in your gums needs to be assessed by Dr. Whelan. Pain in your gums is often a symptom of an issue present in the deeper tissue of the gums.
• Jaw Swelling- If you notice any pain or swelling around your jaw, it is important to make an appointment with Alpha Dental Center-Seabreeze. This could be a sign of infection along the jaw bone and surrounding tissue. An infection can spread and cause serious damage if not properly treated.
• Filling or Crown Repair- Fillings and crowns are important to protect teeth that have had decay or damage in the past. When these become loose or fall out completely, you may experience immediate pain and discomfort. It is important to have these replaced as soon as possible to prevent any further decay.
• Root Canal Therapy- This procedure is often done to help maintain and save your natural teeth. When a tooth becomes severely decayed or damaged, or if you’ve needed multiple fillings or crowns, a root canal may be necessary to avoid extraction.
• Extractions- In some situations, it is necessary to completely remove a tooth or teeth. This could be due to damage or decay that is beyond repair or poses a risk of infection. The infection could then spread to the healthier surrounding teeth. Extraction can help alleviate pain and protect the surrounding healthy teeth.
• Avulsed Tooth- This happens when a tooth is completely dislodged, or knocked out, from the mouth. This is most often caused by an accident where there was a significant blow to the mouth, jaw, or face. The surrounding root, blood vessels, and tissue can also become damaged, which is why immediate attention is necessary. Other damage can include cracks, breaks, and chips. Dr. Whelan can best assess the level of damage to your teeth and provide the best suggestions for treatment and aftercare.

Avoiding the Need for Emergency Services

Dental emergencies can feel overwhelming. There is the uncertainty of what service you will need, and you are most likely also experiencing discomfort or pain. Many dental emergencies are unavoidable, which is why we try to provide our emergency patients with the best care quickly. However, some dental emergencies can be avoided with proper dental care. This starts at home with proper brushing and flossing regularly. The next best step is scheduling regular 6-month appointments with Dr. Whelan. This allows us to keep a track record of your dental health. This record lets us catch any minor issues before they become a big problem. Proper, consistent care is the best way to avoid most dental emergency services.
