What to Expect From An Emergency Dental visit
If you require Emergency Dental work, we encourage you to first call our office and inform us that you will be coming in. Once you have arrived and have spoken with our Patient Coordinator, you will be ushered into your room by an attending team member. Your treatment needs will affect what you can expect when receiving your oral care so that every patient will have a different experience. If you are capable of discussing your current experience, your dentist will be able to go into more detail regarding what the procedure will entail.
In cases of severe toothaches, chips, or cracks, an infection may need to be treated as well as repair to the tooth. These treatments can involve:
- Dental filling
- Extraction
- Irrigation and antibiotic treatment
- Root canal
If your tooth has been fully broken, knocked loose, or has come out completely, more extreme measures may be taken and your dentist may need to perform:
- Antibiotic treatment
- Dental filling
- Reimplantation
- Root canal treatment
- Splinting
After Your Emergency Dental Visit
Your expectations about your recovery will be addressed before your treatment, and you will be given specific instructions on how to get the most out of the treatment during recovery. Depending on the severity of your treatment, you may also be prescribed some temporary pain medication to help ease your comfort levels during the first few days after your procedure.
