Emergency Services at iSmile Caring for My Smile

Dr. Spillers and his staff understand that emergency dental services can feel daunting. In some situations, you may even find yourself wanting to hold off on seeing a dentist. Regardless of how minor you may believe an issue is, it is still important to see us as soon as possible. In many dental emergencies, there is a larger issue resting just beneath the surface. When dealing with emergency services, we commonly see:

• Dental Repair - Teeth are amazingly strong, but they are not invincible. Our teeth can chip, crack, break, or even be fully knocked out. The severity of these issues can vary, so it is important to come into our office to receive a proper assessment. Knocked-out teeth can be exceptionally dangerous, as they can often also involve damage to the tissues, nerves, and blood vessels that once surrounded the tooth.
• Restorative Root Canal Therapy - You may need a root canal if you’ve experienced repeat fillings, crowns, damage, or decay. A root canal is a helpful procedure in repairing the issue while avoiding the need for a tooth extraction.
• Extractions - An extraction is when a tooth is fully removed. At iSmile Caring for My Smile, we try to protect your natural teeth as much as possible. In some circumstances, one tooth has to be removed to protect others. This is often due to a risk of infection caused by a damaged or decaying tooth.
• Filling and Crown repair - Losing a filling or crown is one of the most common dental emergencies that happen while eating. There is a chance it may have been loose for a while and you simply didn’t notice. When these do fall out, they tend to cause increased sensitivity to temperatures and pressure. The tooth also runs the risk of decaying further. It is important to visit our office as soon as possible to have your filling or crown replaced.
• Jaw pain - Not all dental emergencies are apparent within your mouth. In some instances, you may notice pain or swelling of your jaw. This could be a sign of infection within the bone and tissue—a bad sign for the overall health of your teeth—and require immediate assessment.
• Gum bleeding or soreness - When you have issues with your gums, this is often a warning sign that something significant is happening underneath. It is important to get this issue addressed as soon as possible so that proper aftercare can be taken
• Severe toothaches - A toothache is essentially a warning sign that there is a great issue happening with your oral health. Toothaches will grow in severity, and the condition they are warning about could become worse.

Preemptive Care Options

Most people don’t want to go to the dentist normally, so the thought of having an emergency dental situation can be overwhelming. Accidents happen that can require a dental emergency, but many of these situations can build over time. This means that, with certain preemptive measures, you can avoid an emergency altogether. At home, you can make sure that you are adhering to a routine of proper flossing and brushing. In addition, you can also schedule regular six-month appointments with Dr. Spillers. Consistent dental appoints allow for any potential issues to be better tracked. This can prevent a small concern from growing into a large issue.

Schedule as Soon as Possible

With many dental emergencies, there is no time to wait. Most will only get worse when left unattended. When you give us a call, our staff will work hard to get you scheduled as soon as possible. We are always willing to go the extra step to ensure that your issues are addressed and you aren’t dealing with pain. Contact us online, or call us directly at 520-666-3686.
