Dental Emergencies
What’s considered a dental emergency? Well, anything that falls out of the realm of routine! In dental emergencies, immediate emergency dental care is often necessary to resolve severe pain, discomfort, or trauma to the mouth.
Some common dental emergencies we see are:
- Broken dental appliances.
- Severe tooth or jaw pain.
- Chipped/broken veneers.
- Cracked or broken teeth.
- Lost dental appliances.
- Soft tissue injuries.
- Lost dental fillings.
- Knocked-out teeth.
Emergency Dental Care
The Norterra Dentist offers a range of emergency dentistry services that can help with tooth loss or damage. Our dentist will recommend the right course of action to get you back on your feet.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a great way to treat a dental emergency involving damaged teeth. A dental crown is essentially a cap that is made of porcelain and fits over the exterior of your tooth. They restore the chewing surface while protecting it from further damage.
You may need a dental crown if:
- You have a broken or chipped tooth.
- You have pain when biting down.
- You have a cracked tooth.
Root Canals
A root canal is often performed when a tooth is suffering from an infection. Untreated infections can be life-threatening and should be resolved as soon as possible.
You may need a root canal if:
- You are experiencing persistent pain.
- You notice a tooth has begun to darken.
- You have pain when the tooth is touched.
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is too damaged for a crown, extraction may be the best option. This will prevent infection and stop the pain that comes with a broken or fractured tooth.
You may need a tooth extraction if:
- You have a severely infected tooth.
- You have suffered dental trauma.
- You have a very loose tooth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can cause a variety of issues from pain to the development of cysts and infections. Even just one impacted tooth can come with a variety of complications.
You may need a wisdom tooth extraction if:
- You’re experiencing persistent pain in the back molars.
- You have developed cysts on your gums by your molars.
- Your wisdom teeth are damaging other teeth.
Dental Implants
For a permanent solution to losing a tooth, dental implants continue to stimulate the jawbone and keep it strong and healthy. Your body won’t know the difference!
You may need a dental implant if you’ve lost a tooth and:
- You want a permanent replacement.
- You don’t want dentures or a bridge.
- You want to keep your jawbone density.
