Emergency Dental Services Available

Dental emergencies come in many different forms. You could be dealing with a persistent toothache that has worsened over time, or you may have taken an abrupt blow to your face which has resulted in tooth damage. No matter the cause of your oral issue, Dr. Mason and her team can provide a number of services to alleviate your pain and provide the care you need to restore your dental health.

Our services include:

• Toothache Relief—Many patients we treat have ignored the early signs of a toothache. This can lead to complex, extensive issues, as a toothache can be a symptom of a larger concern that needs treatment. Over-the-counter medicines may provide temporary relief but shouldn't be relied on as a long-term solution. If you find yourself experiencing a consistent toothache, we can help treat the real cause of the problem and provide permanent relief.
• Jaw Swelling Reduction—Your dental health involves more than just your teeth and gums. Your jawbone and the surrounding tissue are a key support system for your teeth. If you notice swelling in your jaw, this can be a sign of infection that could spread along the bone and into neighboring tissue. It is important to identify and treat the cause of the infection to preserve your oral health.
• Gum Pain—If you're experiencing gum pain, Dr. Mason can provide the relief you need. Gum pain is often a sign that there is an issue in the deeper tissue of the gums. We will find the cause of your discomfort and provide the service you need to relieve the pain.
• Root Canals—This service can be necessary to save a tooth that is severely decayed or damaged. In many patients the tooth in question previously required a filling or crown. Root canals work to restore the connection between root and tooth, relieving your pain and preserving your tooth. This helps to avoid the need for an extraction.
• Avulsed and Damaged Tooth Care—Also known as a knockout, this emergency situation is often caused by an accident, including sports injuries and auto accidents. After a tooth is knocked out, you should seek care as soon as possible so a dentist can inspect the socket area to ensure that there is no further damage. In some situations, the avulsed tooth can be restored and saved. Other dental damage can involve breaks, cracks, or chips. Each situation is unique and requires a professional examination to determine the next best step.
• Extractions—If a tooth or teeth are severely damaged or decayed, you run the risk of the spread of infection. In this case, full removal could be your best solution. Extractions help to protect the surrounding teeth from infection and can provide immediate pain relief.
• Filling and Crown Repair—Your fillings and crowns are important for protecting teeth that have already required dental work. While these prostheses are made to fit your teeth, they can become loose and fall out. It is important to have crowns and fillings repaired or replaced as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.
