Emergency Dental Services Available

Dental emergencies can happen due to several causes. You could be experiencing a build-up of decay that affects the health of your teeth and gums. You may also experience sharp pain caused by a sudden persistent toothache. No matter what your emergency entails, we have the experience and tools necessary to provide you with the relief you require. Our services include:

• Toothache relief. Toothaches can develop for several reasons. It may start small, such as a sharp pain while eating or drinking something cold or sweet. Over time, this pain may become more persistent and flare up throughout the day. This is because a toothache is often a symptom of a larger oral concern. Dr. Lavi can assess the true cause of your toothache, providing permanent relief.
• Tooth damage. Teeth are strong, but they are not invincible. Teeth can become damaged from a variety of causes. Biting into something too hard can cause chips, breaks, or cracks. More serious damage includes full knock-outs that are often caused by sports injuries or other accidents that involve a serious hit to the face. It is important to have any damage examined to ensure you receive proper care.
• Loose fillings. Fillings help to protect teeth that have already required some form of dental work, typically removal of cavities. Fillings can often be made with different materials, some better lasting than others. If you notice a filling that is getting loose or one that has fallen out completely, it is important to schedule an appointment with our office as soon as possible. This could be an indication that the tooth has experienced further decay. It is important to have the filling replaced quickly. This applies to loose or missing crowns as well.
• Root canals. This procedure is often performed on teeth that have previously required fillings or crowns. This service helps to restore a healthy connection between the root and tooth that can prevent the need for full extraction. Over time, this procedure has become faster and more pain-free than ever before.
• Extraction. In instances where the tooth can’t be saved, an extraction is often necessary. This is common for teeth with severe damage or decay. Severe issues can often lead to infections that can threaten the health of surrounding teeth. An extraction can provide pain relief as well as protect the surrounding teeth from harm.
• Jaw tenderness. Your jaw has an important role to play in your dental health. If you notice any tenderness or swelling, you may have an infection that has spread along the jawbone. It is important to make an appointment with Dr. Lavi as soon as possible to ensure you receive the right treatment to prevent any further dental concerns.
• Gum aches. Any aches or pains coming from your gums could be a symptom of a larger issue deep within the tissue of the gums. It is important to have your gums inspected by a medical professional to ensure you receive the best treatment possible. Early detection can help you avoid more serious concerns.

Tips for Avoiding the Need for Emergency Care

Accidents happen, which is why it is impossible to avoid all dental emergencies. However, many dental emergencies can be prevented. This largely depends on your commitment to your dental health. Taking care of your teeth and gums is vital in avoiding the need for emergency care.

One tip for avoiding emergency dental care is committing to brushing and flossing regularly. This allows you to become more familiar with your teeth, and it also helps you to minimize your risk for serious decay or damage. Another helpful tip is scheduling a regular cleaning appointment every six months. These appointments provide professional cleaning as well as allow Dr. Lavi to keep track of your oral health over time. This allows us to spot any changes that could become a concern in the future.
