What Dental Emergency Services Do We Offer?

There are several different types of dental emergencies. You may have a toothache that's been bothering you for weeks, or you took a blow to the face and cracked a tooth. Regardless of what caused the problem, Dr. Choi and his team can provide many different types of services to alleviate your pain and restore your oral health.

We provide treatment for the following dental issues:

• Toothache relief - A toothache may not seem like a major issue, but it usually means there's a larger problem that needs to be addressed. That means if a toothache goes too long before it's treated, it may lead to larger complications later. While over-the-counter medications may help alleviate the pain temporarily, they won't solve the issue. If you have a persistent toothache, we can find the true source of the problem and provide a permanent solution.
• Jaw swelling reduction - Your oral health involves more than just your teeth and gums. It includes your jawbone and surrounding tissue as well. These are critical support systems for your teeth, and if you see swelling in your jaw, there may be an infection that can spread throughout the bone and into neighboring tissue. By treating this immediately, the infection can be cleared out and eliminated, helping to prevent further oral health issues.
• Gum pain - If you're struggling with gum pain, Dr. Choi can help. Gum pain usually means there's an issue in the deeper tissue of the gums. We can find what is causing your pain and treat it accordingly.
• Root canals - Root canals may be required to save teeth that are significantly decayed or damaged. In most cases, the tooth in question needed a crown or filling in the past. Root canals are responsible for restoring the connection between your tooth and root, relieving the pain, and preserving the tooth. This also prevents you from needing the tooth extracted.



• Avulsed and damaged tooth care - Also called a “knockout,” this situation typically occurs when someone gets involved in an auto or sports accident. If you take a blow to the face and a tooth is knocked out, seek care immediately. In some cases, the tooth can be restored and saved. By seeking care right away, a professional can examine the socket area for additional damage. Other issues to be mindful of include breaks, chips, and cracks. Each issue is unique, but all can be treated with proper care.
• Extractions - If even one tooth is severely damaged or decayed, an infection could form and spread. In this situation, you may want to remove the tooth entirely. This provides immediate pain relief and protects your surrounding teeth and gums from infection.
• Filling and crown repair - Fillings and crowns aim to protect teeth that previously required some type of dental work. Even though they were created to fit your teeth, they can still become loose over time and fall out. It's important to have crowns or fillings fixed as soon as you can to prevent additional damage.

Avoiding Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can be overwhelming and painful, and not all of them can be avoided. However, by maintaining your dental care at home, you can prevent some emergencies entirely. By brushing and flossing regularly, you can prevent injury and infection and protect your teeth and gums.

We also recommend scheduling regular six-month appointments with us at Coast Dental North Fort Myers. This will allow our staff to provide professional cleaning services while helping you manage your oral health. Also, this allows Dr. Choi to catch small issues and prevent them from becoming problematic.
