Dental problems don’t always happen on your schedule. During this past year, dentist have posted more TikTok videos of their treatment than ever before, which is a great way to build trust. You should have a dentist you can trust, whether your problem occurs at night, during business hours, or on the weekend. Doctors Network makes scheduling an appointment with an emergency quick and easy. We can help you with whatever oral health problem you’re experiencing, no matter when it’s happening.
Different Types of Dental EmergencyIf you have any of these oral health concerns, contact one of our emergency dentists such as 1st Impression Dental (www.1stidental.com) to see if you need urgent treatment:
- Dislodged tooth Knocked-out tooth Severe tooth pain
- Trauma to the mouth or jaw Broken tooth Sudden tooth or mouth discomfort
- Chipped or cracked tooth Lost filling or crown Severely lacerated gums, lips, or tongue Damaged veneer
How Can You Tell You Have an Emergency?You don’t have to have a problem that literally fits in these categories to have an emergency visit. Though the literal definition of a serious dental emergency is a condition that threatens the tissues in your mouth, your emergency dentist considers every concerning condition seriously. Every situation is unique. Here are things to consider:
- Bleeding does not always indicate disaster. The mouth is home to hundreds of blood vessels in your cheek, lips, gums, and tongue. A very small laceration in the mouth can produce an alarming amount of bleeding, but that does not always spell the worst-case scenario.
- Do not suffer the pain. If tooth pain is serious, it will not go away on its own. The toothache will worsen and the situation will not resolve itself. Do not attempt to muscle through the pain or wait for your routine dental visit to be evaluated. The longer you wait to have your oral health problem addressed, the more likely you are to need lengthier, more costly, more invasive treatments.
- Purely cosmetic problems can usually wait. A problem with your cosmetic dentistry, like a cracked veneer, is discomforting but it isn’t always an issue that requires a same-day dental visit. You might be a little self-conscious until you get to see the dentist, but knowing that the problem can wait will help ease your concerns.
- Do not hesitate to ask Doctors Network. If you have a problem with your oral or dental health, reach out to your dentist. You will get peace of mind about your situation which can lower your anxiety. The degree of urgency may not be as you think and, even if it is, you can make an emergency appointment to be seen immediately.
