Emergency Services We Provide

The team at Familia Dental, Odessa is equipped to handle emergency procedures of any kind. We will work hard to assess your situation, provide treatment, and get you back to your life as quickly as possible. Some of the most common procedures we provide on an emergency basis include:

• Extractions—In extreme cases of decay, damage, or infection, it may be necessary to remove a tooth. The tooth may be causing severe pain due to damage or decay or may cause a risk of infection spreading to other teeth. Extracting a problem tooth can protect surrounding teeth and alleviate your pain.
• Root Canal Therapy—In some instances, a root canal is a better solution to maintain your oral health. Teeth that have experienced damage due to dental decay, or previous issues with fillings and crowns may benefit from a root canal to eliminate infection at its source. Often, a root canal can help you preserve your natural tooth.
• Gum Pain Relief—If you notice increased sensitivity in your gums, this could be a warning sign that there is a problem deep beneath the surface. Your dentist will be able to assess the issue and decrease the tenderness by addressing the cause of your pain.
• Dental Repair—There are several reasons you may need dental repair. Most often, chipped, cracked, broken, or avulsed (missing) teeth are caused by sports injuries, bad falls, and auto accidents. In fact, any blow to your face, mouth, or jaw could result in severe damage to nerves, blood vessels, and tissue. Treatment usually involves repair or replacement on a case-by-case basis.
• Jaw Swelling Relief—If you notice swelling or tenderness in the jaw, this could be a sign of an oral issue that requires immediate attention. Jaw swelling can result from advanced decay, infection leading to an abscess, or even a past oral injury that went untreated. Schedule emergency care as soon as possible to address the issue.
• Crown and Filling Repair or Replacement—In certain circumstances, fillings or crowns can become loose and dislodged. When left unattended, missing dental prostheses can lead to pain and increase your risk of infection. Worse, missing fillings or crowns can mean further decay of the tooth underneath. Contact us within 24 hours to schedule repair or replacement of your crown or filling.
• Toothache Relief—If you notice an increase in sensitivity, a dull ache, or intense oral pain, it is important to make an appointment with our team. Toothaches are a sign of an underlying issue like advanced decay or severe infections and must be addressed to relieve your pain.

Take Control of Your Oral Health

Many of the emergencies listed can be avoided with proper oral care. First and foremost, this involves brushing and flossing after meals to prevent the plaque buildup that leads to tooth decay. You must also be mindful of sugary or acidic foods and drinks that can impact your oral health.

It is also important to schedule routine cleanings at Familia Dental, Odessa at least every six months. Adhering to a professional cleaning schedule not only eliminates plaque but can also help our team keep track of your oral health. We can spot small problems before they turn into much larger ones and recommend a mouth guard to protect your teeth.
