Emergency Dental Services in Port Charlotte, FL

When it comes to an emergency, the best way to respond is to act quickly to have the issue resolved. It doesn't matter if it's a burst water pipe, a kitchen fire, or a dental emergency -- you need to respond in time to stop things before it escalates. Dental emergencies may not seem like they're on the same level as other problems, but they can get bad fast if not addressed, and they'll compromise your ability to eat, smile, brush, and more in the process. Don't let this happen. If you have a dental emergency and live in Port Charlotte, Dr. Serge Prescott and the team at Coast Dental Port Charlotte are here to help.

Dental emergencies are like any other emergency in that even if they seem minor at first; they'll get bad quickly if not resolved in time. The worse the problem gets, the harder it will be to fix things, so responding in a timely manner is a necessity. Luckily, if you visit Coast Dental Port Charlotte and get help from Dr. Prescott, you won't need to suffer with your emergency for too long. We treat all manner of dental emergencies, big and small, including:

• Gum Pain - Aching gums aren't just unpleasant and distracting. They're also usually the result of a bacterial infection, and bacterial infections can spread. This means that if the problem isn't resolved in time, it will only get worse, moving to other areas of the mouth. Dr. Prescott will pinpoint the source of the infection, clean your gums out, and stop the pain from sticking around.
• Toothache - If your tooth hurts, it's likely to be a distressing, annoying, and difficult experience. It can make it harder to eat, brush, or floss. There are multiple reasons your tooth may be aching, and none of them are good. If you visit Coast Dental Port Charlotte, we'll figure out the cause of your toothache and put a stop to it.
• Jaw Swelling - A swollen jaw tends to be the result of a bacterial infection. Because your jaw is vital to the health and stability of your dental system, having an infection that may spread to the teeth and gums is a scary prospect. Your dentist can clean out the infected area, reduce the swelling, and stop this possibility from becoming a reality.
• Tooth Damage - Teeth can be damaged if they're subject to enough force. Whether this means a small chip from biting into a jawbreaker or large damage from being hit in the face or anything in between, even minor damages warrant visiting a dentist. Dr. Prescott can assess the situation and repair what's possible to repair or remove the tooth if it can't be saved.
• Crown or Filling Loss - Crowns and fillings play an important role in protecting decayed or damaged teeth from further harm. Unfortunately, they're not always built to last. If your crown or filling falls out, it can be painful and stressful while leaving your teeth once again vulnerable to injury. Visit Coast Dental Port Charlotte to get the damage cleaned up and the crown or filling replaced.
• Tooth Loss - Teeth can be lost in several ways. They can be knocked out through force, fall out due to decay, or simply have to be removed because of substantial damage. Regardless of the circumstances, a lost tooth is likely to be a distressing thing to experience, altering everything down to your smile. Don't suffer with an exposed cavity any longer than you need to; see Dr. Prescott, and let him replace it for you.



• Root Canal - Root canals are often considered scary and painful; however, they're also a necessary procedure to prevent a decayed tooth from decaying even further. If you have to go in for a root canal, the team at Coast Dental Port Charlotte will make sure to keep you feeling safe and comfortable for the entire procedure.

Avoiding a Dental Emergency

It's always good to know you have an emergency dental service to turn to if you need help, but it's even better to avoid having a dental emergency in the first place. To minimize your risk, you need to take good care of your dental hygiene. Brush three times a day and floss daily. Avoid foods that may hurt your teeth in some way. Finally, stay in touch with your dentist and call them if you have a concern.
