Should I see a Doctor?
In most emergency cases, the role of the dentist is to help ‘secure’ the patient. This means we do everything we can to manage any pain and bleeding. We can then either book you in for a follow-up to treat the problem e.g. making a new crown for you, if yours is broken or lost, or refer you to a medical specialist, for example, if you have a broken jaw.
While several dental problems can wait until your next appointment, some require immediate attention. These include damage to your teeth after an accident or sports injury or suspected infections that cause significant discomfort.
It’s important to know when to wait and when to call Dental Smiles Flagstaff for emergency dental services. We offer several dental emergency treatments, including root canal treatment, tooth extractions and temporary fillings.
Recognising a Dental Emergency
Toothaches can range from uncomfortable to unbearable. If you are in some discomfort but can still chew, you can make an appointment with your dentist in a few days. However, if you have symptoms of an abscess, like a swollen jaw or a fever, see your dentist immediately for emergency treatment. If you are unsure if your needs are urgent or not feel free to call us for advice.
If you have chipped a tooth and have no pain, you can sometimes wait for several days, but we would advise you to see a dentist as soon as possible as dental pain can develop quickly. Some chipped teeth can cause intense discomfort, in which case you should call Dental Smiles Flagstaff for emergency dental treatment.
Some people also require emergency root canal treatment. You need a root canal if your tooth’s pulp becomes infected since otherwise, the infection can spread.
To lessen your chances of needing emergency dental treatment, schedule regular appointments with your dentist and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing reguarly. If you notice a new tenderness in your teeth, schedule an appointment to stop it from becoming an emergency.
