Emergency Dental Services

Dental emergencies can happen over time, or unexpectedly. We know that there is a wide range of factors that can create a dental emergency, which is why we offer several unique services. Dr. Shluper and his team will work with you closely to assess your emergency concern and suggest the most beneficial route forward. Our services include:

• Cracks, Breaks, Chips, and Knock Outs- Accidents are often the most common cause of these different teeth issues. Whether the injury happened due to a sporting incident or a bad fall, our office can help. These situations can be painful, and require immediate attention to either save the tooth, or assess any further damage to the blood vessels, tissues, or surrounding teeth.
• Crown and Filling Repair- You may not notice you have a loose crown or filling until it completely falls out. This often happens while eating due to the demands of chewing. You'll often notice immediate pain in the tooth that is now missing the crown or filling. It is important to see Dr. Shluper as soon as possible to repair or replace the crown or filling. Any delays can lead to further decay in the tooth, which can lead to more serious procedures.
• Toothache Relief- If you find yourself experiencing a consistent toothache, it is important to have it evaluated, regardless of severity. A minor toothache will become worse in time. This toothache is often your body's way of warning you that there is something wrong underneath the surface. Edward Shluper DDS can find the root of the toothache, alleviating the pain for good.
• Jaw Swelling Relief- Jaw tenderness or swelling needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. This symptom is usually caused by an infection along the jawline and the surrounding supportive tissue. It is important to receive proper treatment to ensure the infection is completely handled.
• Gum Pain Relief- Gum tenderness or pain acts much like a toothache in that it is trying to warn you of an underlying problem. A professional dentist is necessary for assessing concerns deep within the tissue.
• Root Canal- A root canal is often necessary for a tooth that has suffered significant damage or decay. It is also sometimes necessary for a tooth that has needed repeat fillings or crowns. The ultimate purpose of a root canal is to restore your natural tooth to a healthy, functioning state. This removes the need for extraction as well as alleviates pain associated with that tooth.
• Extractions- In severe instances, an extraction may be necessary. This is when a tooth is completely removed, often due to the risk of infecting the surrounding healthy teeth.

Preventive Measures You Can Take

It is important to take care of your dental health to avoid the need for emergency services. This begins with your dental hygiene routine. Maintaining regular brushing and flossing can help to avoid a number of these dental concerns. It is also beneficial to schedule six-month cleaning appointments with Edward Shluper DDS. This provides both a professional cleaning, as well as a way to track your overall dental health. The better understanding we have of your teeth makes spotting any issues easier, helping to avoid the need for emergency services.
