At Sauk Trail Dental Care, we want everyone in the Richton Park area to have quick and convenient access to urgent dental services. For this reason, the doors of our office are open to anyone in need. This includes both new and returning patients, as well as adult and pediatric patients.

Our team places a strong emphasis on building dentist-patient relationships that last.

We Treat Dental Emergencies of All Kinds

No two patients come to us with the exact same oral health history and emergency condition. In fact, every patient's urgent dental problem is different and requires personalized care to resolve. Some of the most common emergency dental treatments we provide include:

• Emergency Tooth Repair—After any kind of dental injury, you need to receive emergency tooth repair services. Dental injuries come in many forms, including knocked-out, chipped, or broken teeth. In addition, many kinds of accidents can lead to one of these injuries, including car crashes and sports-related incidents. Regardless of your dental injury's source, Sauk Trail Dental Care can provide exceptional dental repair services.
• Root Canal Therapy—Advanced decay puts the entire mouth at risk. Oral decay can spread quickly to surrounding teeth, and it should be cared for as soon as possible. In some cases of serious infection, your dental team may be able to resolve the issue using root canal therapy to preserve your natural tooth.
• Tooth Extractions—An extraction may be needed to stop oral decay from spreading. If you're in need of an emergency tooth extraction, you can count on Dr. Garuba and Sauk Trail Dental Care to handle the service quickly and efficiently. After your extraction, your pain will be alleviated and you'll no longer be at risk of decay spreading to your other teeth.
• Damaged Crown Repair—Within 48 hours of your dental crown becoming damaged or lost, reach out to Sauk Trail Dental Care for repair or replacement. Lost or damaged crowns are no longer capable of protecting the tooth from further damage, and leave the tooth vulnerable. We can provide crown repair and replacement services to restore your bite and protect the natural tooth.
• Damaged Filling Repair—When it is no longer being protected by a filling, the tooth becomes highly susceptible to decay. This decay can then spread to different areas of the mouth, leading to a widespread oral infection. To prevent this situation from taking place, contact Sauk Trail Dental Care to have your fillings repaired or replaced.
• Jaw Pain Relief—Are you currently dealing with pain or swelling in your jaw? Rather than delaying care, call Sauk Trail Dental Care today. Before any jaw pain can be permanently relieved, a dentist needs to find the source of your discomfort. For example, there are times when a patient's jaw is sore due to a bone or tissue infection. This is a serious condition that needs to be treated as soon as possible, before the infection has time to spread.
• Gum Pain Relief—Gums that are tender or sore can be difficult to ignore. Even if you're just trying to eat or drink, painful gums can pose a challenge. Sauk Trail Dental Care can examine your gums closely to find the cause of your pain. Once we've found the underlying condition, our team is prepared to treat this issue at its source.
• Severe Toothache Relief—Although it's often possible to mask tooth pain with painkillers or other temporary fixes, this won't provide a permanent solution. The only effective way to relieve toothaches is by treating the source of the problem. When you visit Sauk Trail Dental Care with a serious toothache, we'll examine your mouth and find the root cause of your discomfort. This allows our team to determine the most effective long-term solution.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

It's possible for anyone to reduce their risk of sustaining a dental emergency, including decay, an injury, or any other serious condition. First, make sure that you're brushing and flossing your teeth daily, as well as attending regular cleanings. Dental checkups give your dentist the opportunity to intervene early, preventing minor oral health problems from devolving into emergencies.

You should also keep your mouth protected during contact sports or similar physical activities. If you don't already have a custom-fit mouth guard, speak to your dentist today.
