If your dental problem is causing you severe dental pain or distress, it’s important to contact us as soon as possible so that you can receive the treatment that you need. If left untreated, your dental emergency could cause serious dental care issues including bone loss, gum disease or severe infection. Some of the most commonly seen emergencies include:
- Localized severe pain caused by infections
- Loose fillings, crowns and bridges
- Implant complications
- Tooth impactions (wisdom tooth pain)
- Broken teeth, chipped or cracked teeth.
Why it’s Important to Address Dental Emergencies
While many patients try to ignore the pain and go on with their day, a dental emergency often needs to be addressed quickly to prevent the problem from getting worse. For example, if you lose a filling, it can be easily replaced in our office in a very short period of time. If, however, you ignore the lost filling, the inner dentin of the tooth is then exposed, which is more susceptible to bacteria and sensitivity, which will cause further problems in a short period of time. Leaving a dental issue untreated can cause serious damage. It is best to see an emergency dentist immediately so they can relieve you of the pain and any infection you may have.
