When to Seek Emergency Dental Care in Aurora
It can sometimes be difficult to know what counts as a dental emergency. In general, if you are experiencing pain, swelling, bleeding, or have suffered trauma to your teeth or gums, it is important to contact a dental office as soon as possible.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe pain
- Knocked-out teeth
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Loose or dislodged teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns, or dental restorations
- Soft tissue injuries, such as cuts to the gums, lips, or tongue
- Infections or abscesses
What to Expect During Your Emergency Appointment
When you call with a dental emergency, our team will schedule your visit as quickly as possible. During your appointment, we’ll examine your teeth and gums to identify the problem and discuss the best treatment options, such as a root canal or extraction. In many cases, treatment can be completed the same day or arranged soon after your evaluation.
Emergency Dental Care to Protect Your Oral Health
Emergency dental care may involve procedures such as fillings, crowns, extractions, or infection management, depending on the type and severity of the issue. Our goal is to help manage pain, address the underlying cause, and restore your oral health. If your natural teeth have to be removed, we can discuss cosmetic dentistry solutions to restore the appearance and function of your smile once it’s healed.
Tips
Tips for Common Dental Problems
While waiting to be seen by our emergency dental care in Aurora, there are some steps you can take to help manage certain dental emergencies:
- For a knocked-out tooth, try to gently place the tooth back in its socket or keep it moist until you can reach a dentist.
- For toothaches, rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek if there is swelling.
- For broken or chipped teeth, rinse your mouth and save any pieces if possible.
- For soft tissue injuries, rinse the area gently and apply pressure with a clean cloth to control bleeding.
