Know When to Get Emergency Dental Treatment

For what conditions should I seek emergency dental care near me?

Any painful dental problem that disrupts your normal functioning makes you a good candidate for emergency dental care. Here are a few examples of conditions that we treat on an emergency basis.

Broken or Fractured Tooth

A broken or fractured tooth needs immediate care to reduce infection risk and ensure that further damage doesn’t occur. Contact us to schedule your appointment as soon as you can.

Knocked-Out Teeth

A knocked-out tooth often inspires panic, but if you act quickly, our emergency dentists may be able to save your tooth. Find and rinse all of the tooth pieces, but avoid touching the root. If you can, gently place the tooth into the empty socket, or store it between your cheek and gum line to keep it moist until you can get to the office. Call us immediately for instructions.

Severe Toothache Pain

A severe toothache demands fast relief. An accurate diagnosis can ensure the best treatment and help you avoid a painful recurrence.

Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity may not always require urgent dental care, but if it occurs suddenly and without warning, a tooth fracture or infection could be to blame. Contact us to schedule an evaluation of unusual or severe tooth sensitivity.

Tooth Decay and Cavities

Cavities caused by tooth decay eventually expose the sensitive tooth nerves and roots. When dental decay becomes painful, our emergency dentists can assess the damage and treat cavities to relieve your pain and save your teeth.

Abscessed Tooth

Gum disease, injury, and tooth decay can be root causes for a severe tooth infection called an abscess. The symptoms of an abscessed tooth include severe tooth pain, significant facial swelling, foul mouth odors, fever, swollen glands in your neck, and open, draining gum sores. Call our emergency dental office without delay if you have symptoms of an abscessed tooth. Prompt treatment is required to prevent serious complications.

Lost or Loose Fillings

A lost or loose dental filling may leave your teeth feeling sensitive or tender. To prevent infection and decay, have your fillings replaced as soon as possible.

Broken Crowns or Lost Restorations

A broken crown or lost restoration leaves the affected tooth without protection and affects your appearance. Our emergency dentists can solve both problems by providing a temporary or permanent replacement.

Orthodontic Pain or Injuries

The metal brackets and wires of orthodontic devices can break or shift causing severe mouth irritation and sometimes injury to soft tissues. Our dentists can relieve your orthodontic pain and stabilize your braces to prevent further damage.

Tooth Enamel Wear from Teeth Grinding

If you have a habit of grinding your teeth at night, your tooth enamel is subjected to more wear and tear than it can handle. Our dentists can reinforce your enamel to help it stay strong and provide a night guard to reduce damage from grinding.

Unexplained Sinus Pressure

Sinus pressure can be an annoying symptom, especially if it occurs for no apparent reason. In some cases, sinus pressure can have dental origins. Let our emergency dentists investigate your symptoms to determine if an impacted tooth, infection or other dental problem could be to blame.

Serious Symptoms: When Dental Care Isn’t Enough

I’ve fallen and sustained a head injury and broken teeth. Should I visit an emergency dental office near me first?

Some potentially dangerous situations and dental conditions can overlap. When you have a dental problem that also involves severe bleeding, excessive swelling, or any serious injury to your head, face, jaw, or neck, seek care at an emergency room or dial 911 immediately instead of visiting our emergency dentists in Bradenton.

When an emergency occurs at night, should I wait until morning to contact the emergency dental office near me?

If severe symptoms develop when our office is closed, it may be best to seek care from a hospital emergency room or after-hours medical clinic, especially if you suspect that your problem may be serious. When you have an urgent problem during office hours, our emergency dentists in Bradenton will be available and ready to give you the prompt and compassionate care that you need to feel better fast.

Dental Emergency Treatment Costs

A variety of factors determine the cost of emergency dental care, including your condition and the types of treatments needed to relieve your symptoms. Our emergency dentists will be able to give you more details about your total cost after evaluating your teeth. Our office accepts most dental insurance plans and major credit cards. If you can’t pay your total all at once, ask us about our convenient financing options. To save between 20 and 70 percent on many essential dental services, consider enrolling in the Smile Alliance Club discount plan. It’s not an insurance plan, but it does provide significant savings on emergency care and much more. Contact us for more details.
