Dental Emergencies Covered at Divine Dental of Santa Fe

With so many potential issues that can arise with our teeth, we can at least take comfort knowing that an emergency dentist can help with them all. Some of our most popular services include:

• Crowns and Caps: One of our most common services is a dental crown, capping the tooth and making it look as good as new. Unfortunately, we also see caps and crowns fall off (the metal part of the crown that sticks out).
• Dental Bridges: Just as a crown covers the front of a tooth, a bridge covers a gap or space that has been created. One of our most common dental bridges is used to re-fill a space created by a lost tooth.
• Dental Fillings: Tooth decay is one of the most common dental emergencies, and our dentist can quickly take care of it with a filling.
• Extractions: Whether it's a wisdom tooth, a baby tooth, or a tooth that is causing pain, our dentist can extract it quickly and easily.
• Root Canals: A tooth's nerve and blood supply is often found in the root. When the pulp becomes infected, we need to clean it out and create a space for the root canal. This is done with an anesthetic, so you will experience no pain during the procedure.
• Night Guards: Sometimes, trauma to the jaw or teeth can result in tooth sensitivity and pain while sleeping. A night guard fits over your mouth to protect your teeth while you sleep.
• Veneers: If any damage happens to your teeth, our emergency dentist can help you with veneers. Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain that fits over the front of your teeth to make them look better.

These are just a few of the services that our emergency dentist provides. If you are experiencing any dental emergency, please call us today.

Tips to Avoid Future Dental Emergencies

Sometimes, it takes a dental emergency to realize that our routine care leaves something to be desired. Whether we don't see the dentist often enough, or we let our teeth fall into neglect, it's often too late to save a tooth by the time we realize that there is a problem. Some tips to help prevent a dental emergency occurring includes:

• Brush your teeth faithfully: There are few better ways to prevent tooth decay than brushing your teeth twice every day.
• Take care of your diet: Processed sugar, carbohydrates, and starches are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. If you eat these, make sure to brush your teeth afterward.
• Floss: Flossing once a day helps remove plaque and bacteria from in between your teeth and under the gum line.
• See your dentist every 6 months: Routine dental exams and cleanings are the best way to prevent problems before they start.
• Avoid hard foods: When you are eating something crunchy or hard, make sure to be gentle with your teeth. Ignoring this advice can lead to a chipped tooth.

By following these tips, you can help minimize your risk of experiencing a dental emergency. However, accidents happen, and no one is immune to dental problems. If you are currently experiencing a dental emergency, please do not hesitate to call us for assistance.
