Dental Emergency FAQs

Should I Visit The Emergency Room First For Dental Emergencies?

We recommend that you do not visit the emergency room for a dental emergency unless one of the following occurs:

You break or fracture your jaw
You experience continuous bleeding that doesn’t cease after 10 minutes
Swelling continues to increase, making it difficult to swallow

All other injuries can be treated at our dental office by our trusted professionals, as we are capable of not only eliminating the pain but also developing a treatment plan that will mitigate the issue. In an emergency room, they would only be able to provide pain relievers and antibiotics.

Do Chipped Teeth Heal?

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body; however, it’s not indestructible, and it doesn’t grow back on its own. This outermost layer of your teeth cannot heal without the help of a professional, which is why no matter how minor or severe, it’s best to call and schedule an appointment with our team. Teeth are capable of remineralizing, but that’s the extent. Our team will be able to provide cosmetic and/or restorative treatment to repair the damage, restore your appearance, and improve your oral health.

Can I Fix Dentures That Are Broken In Half?

Only a skilled professional can fix a denture that is broken in half, so do not hesitate to reach out if you need this type of assistance. We can evaluate the broken denture to see if a repair is possible and also estimate how long a repair might last. In some cases, it might be more cost-effective and convenient for you to have a new, custom denture made. We will be sure to go over all your options in detail, of course.

Is My Tooth Pain From An Infection?

Depending on the type of pain, location, and other particular symptoms, there is a good chance your tooth pain is the result of an infection that has formed. Typically, if you notice that you have bad breath, tooth sensitivity, a loose tooth, reddening and swollen gums, and an oral sore near the bothersome tooth, you likely have an infection that needs to be treated right away. This is the only way to know for sure if what you are experiencing is an actual infection. If so, we’ll work quickly to get you the help you need.

How Long Can A Restoration Be Temporarily Attached?

When wearing temporary restorations, it’s important to remember that these are not meant to last forever. Only until the finalized crown, bridge, denture, or veneer is ready should you be committed to wearing this type of restoration. The length of time a temporary restoration can be expected to last varies with each situation.If you have replaced a lost or damaged dental filling with the help of over-the-counter, temporary adhesive material, it’s important to remember that you should be scheduling time to see one of our dentists as soon as possible to properly address the problem.
