Emergency Services Provided

Dr. Winter and his team can handle several different emergency procedures. Teeth can become fractured by trauma, grinding, or biting on hard objects. They can also come from fillings or crowns falling out. We will work hard to assess your situation, provide treatment, and get you back to your life as quickly as possible. There are several services available — some of the most common include:

• Dental repair. There are several reasons why you may need dental repair. Most often in emergencies, this is due to some type of accident. This could be a sports injury, a bad fall, or an auto accident. Regardless of the situation, any blow to your face, mouth, or jaw could result in injury. Teeth can become chipped, cracked, or broken. Teeth can also be fully knocked-out, which could result in severe damage to nerves, blood vessels, and tissue. Treatment is often assessed on a case-by-case basis.
• Toothaches. If you notice an increase in sensitivity, or dull aches and pains, it is important to make an appointment with Dr. Winter. Toothaches are often a sign that something isn’t right below the surface.
• Extractions. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to fully remove a tooth. This could be due to a tooth that is causing pain from damage or decay. In many instances, there is a risk of infection spreading. By extracting the tooth, the risk of further spread decreases, and your pain is alleviated.
• Swelling of the jaw. If you notice a swelling or tenderness along your jaw, this could be a sign of an oral issue that requires immediate attention. This could be a sign of potential infection along the bone and in the deeper tissues. To ensure the health of your teeth, it is important to have this properly treated.
• Crown and filling loss. In certain circumstances, fillings or crowns can become loose and dislodge. This usually happens while eating, and when left unattended can lead to pain and risk of infection. Since a crown is custom-fitted to your tooth, this could mean further decay of the tooth underneath. Regardless of the causes, it is important to get into Hampton Dental Associates as quickly as possible, so you can return to normal eating and drinking pain-free.
• Tenderness of the gums. If you notice increased sensitivity in your gums, this could be a warning sign that there is a problem in the deeper tissues of the gums. Your dentist will be able to properly assess the issue and decrease the tenderness as soon as possible.
• Root canal therapy. In some instances, a root canal is required to maintain your oral health. This could be due to dental decay, damage, or previous issues with fillings and crowns. In most instances, it involves some form of root damage that can be painful.

Take Control of Your Oral Health

Many of the emergency procedures listed can be avoided with proper oral care. This involves making sure that you are brushing, flossing, and being mindful of your sugar intake or other drinks and foods that can impact oral health. It is also important to schedule routine cleanings at Hampton Dental Associates. Adhering to a professional cleaning every six months helps Dr. Winter and his team keep a track record of your oral health. This can help spot small problems before they turn into much larger ones.
