Emergencies can happen at any time, and dental emergencies are no exception. From knocked-out teeth to chipped teeth to toothaches, dental emergencies are painful and cause discomfort. That is why having a knowledgeable, reliable dentist on your speed dial is wise. The Lakewood Dentist has got you covered and offers services round-the-clock.
Our user-friendly website is designed to help patients needing 24/7 emergency dental care. We understand your frustrations with requiring immediate medical attention and are determined to make the process seamless.
Our proactive emergency team is trained to respond quickly by connecting you with a dentist who can offer prompt relief. Some of the emergency dental issues we handle include the following:
- Toothache — Severe pain is an indication that something is wrong.
- Knocked-out tooth —If you can, replace the tooth to its socket. Nevertheless, if that is impossible, hold your tooth by its crown and put it in a glass of salt water or milk. We will work to save your tooth.
- Abscess.
- Broken or cracked tooth — If your tooth has broken, keep the broken part safe and moisturized until you reach our office. It is also wise to avoid biting down to prevent fracturing.
- Lost crowns or fillings.
- Loose braces.
- Foreign substances caught between your teeth.
- Cut tongue, cheek, or lip.
Our goal is to alleviate your pain and preserve your oral health. Consequently, you can expect the following once you come to our dental office:
- A visual examination— We will inquire about your signs and symptoms and examine your gums and teeth to determine what we should do first.
- Diagnostic imaging — Next, we will perform diagnostic imaging to see what is happening under your jawbone, gums, and existing dental work. It will assist you in determining the extent and source of your emergency.
- Diagnosis and treatment — Finally, our dentists will diagnose your condition. We will also discuss available treatment options, prices, pros, and cons. We will relieve your pain and repair your treatment as quickly as possible, and if necessary, schedule a follow-up appointment.
Since accidents and emergencies are unplanned, the most effective solution is to be preventative. Brush your teeth daily, avoid eating hard foods, and visit your dentist twice yearly.
