Emergency Dental Services Provided

A wide range of possible inflictions and concerns you may face qualify as potential dental emergencies. Some of these problems might seem comparatively minor, and it may be tempting to just try and ignore the small things, but even those can balloon into something much worse and much more painful. It’s important to see a dentist like Dr. Waterman whenever you have a dental problem, so that the impact can be minimized. Cloud Nine Dental At Raleigh Park treats all manner of dental emergencies, such as:

• Toothache: One of the most common and yet varied dental problems, a toothache can be distracting and may interfere with activities like eating and brushing. They can be caused by many problems, such as a crack in the enamel or underlying rot. Your dentist can detect the root of the issue and take care of it before it continues to get worse.
• Gum Pain: Often just as painful and distracting as any toothache, gum pain can be a sign of various problems, most often an infection. Dr. Christina Waterman can figure out what’s causing the pain and stop it from spreading.
• Tooth Damage: Cracks, chips, decay and more can all cause serious problems for you, even if they seem unimportant at first. Don’t let the problem get worse, or you could end up losing the entire tooth. Contact a dentist and get help to fix your tooth and your smile before the damage grows.
• Tooth Loss and Knockouts: Of course, the natural result of a tooth being too damaged to function is for the tooth to fall out or be removed. Not only does this loss make eating more difficult and messes up your smile, but any lingering bacteria or decay can infect the rest of the teeth and gums. Trust Dr. Waterman to provide a replacement, as well as to clean out the empty socket and surrounding area.
• Jaw Swelling: A swollen jaw can stem from a few problems, but the most common one is an infection. Left unchecked, this infection can spread and create worse problems for your tissue and bones. The jaw is an often overlooked, yet vital, part of your dental system, so get help today if you notice any problems with it. Your dentist can figure out what’s causing the swelling and stop it from getting worse.
• Filling Loss: A lost filling can occur if the filling was made out of weak material, or if outside damage causes it to come off. Crowns can be lost for similar reasons. Both fillings and crowns exist to protect your teeth from further damage or decay after a dental treatment, so their loss is often not only painful, but allows further damage or decay to take place. Dr. Waterman can replace your filling for you, and clean out any damage or bacteria that has since appeared.
• Root Canal: A root canal is often believed to be the scariest and most painful dental procedure. A dentist needs to clear out any serious decay in order to save the tooth from further harm. We understand that the process is often long and uncomfortable, but we’re dedicated to giving you professional treatment in a comfortable atmosphere. Trust the staff of Cloud Nine Dental At Raleigh Park to ensure that you are as safe and relaxed as possible, no matter what procedure is needed.

Avoid Dental Emergencies

Preferable to needing an emergency procedure is to avoid needing a procedure at all. Some problems can occur without your doing, but other risks can be avoided or minimized through proper dental hygiene. Remember to brush and floss regularly, and visit your normal dentist often. Avoid eating too much sugar or foods that are too sticky or crunchy, and stay aware of any problems you may notice.
