What Emergency Services Do We Provide?

Dr. Lutjemeyer and his skilled team are experienced in providing a wide range of different dental services. Each emergency situation is unique and requires different services and techniques for proper care. We strive to stay trained and up-to-date on all dental emergency services so that our patients can always rely on us. Some of our many services include:

• Jaw Swelling Assessment- Any unexpected swelling of your face, especially around the jaw can be a serious dental concern. This is often caused by an infection that has spread into the supporting tissues and jaw bone itself. Proper treatment is required to determine the cause of the infection and treat the issue before it can develop further.
• Gum Tenderness- Tenderness or pain in your gums can be caused by different issues that require professional assessment. This pain is often a symptom of a larger concern within the deep tissue of the gums.
• Avulsed Tooth- Also known as a knockout, this is often caused by a hard blow to the face, jaw, or mouth. A quick response can help save the tooth as well as determine if there has been any further damage to the socket, blood vessels, or tissue surrounding the area. Other tooth concerns include chips, cracks, and breaks that will need proper assessment to determine the next best course of action.
• Toothache Assessment- A toothache is rarely an isolated problem. In most situations, it is a symptom of a larger concern. Most patients will first notice a toothache when experiencing a change in pressure or temperature, usually involved with eating or drinking. If left untreated, this can become a permanent ache that can distract you throughout the day and keep you awake at night. Proper assessment is needed to determine the larger concern to provide permanent relief.
• Root Canal Procedure- When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed or may have already needed repeat fillings or crowns, a root canal could become necessary. This procedure helps to restore the natural tooth, avoiding the need for complete removal.
• Crown Replacement- A crown is custom-molded to a tooth that has experienced damage or decay and needs additional protection. If this falls out, it is important to seek emergency dental care as quickly as possible. You’ll likely experience pain, and the damage could become worse if not replaced.
• Extractions- A tooth that is decayed or damaged and poses an infection risk may need to be removed. This helps to alleviate any pain associated with the tooth, as well as stop any infection from spreading to healthy teeth.
• Filling Repair- A filling can become loose and fall out due to its material construction or further decay of the problem tooth. It is important to have this filling replaced as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.

Preemptive Measures to Protect Your Oral Health

Not all dental emergencies are avoidable. However, several can be avoided with the right preemptive measures. A great place to start is at home. It is important to take regular, proper care of your teeth through flossing and brushing. This helps you to become familiar with the appearance of your teeth and gums. Another great preemptive measure is scheduling regular six-month appointments with our staff at Coast Dental New Tampa. This allows us to keep track of your overall dental health, both on the surface and below. This helps us catch any minor problems before they can develop into larger concerns.
