What Types of Dental Emergencies Do We Treat?
Our emergency dentists have the skills and experience to assess a dental emergency quickly and put a plan into action right away. Here are the dental care services we provide to emergency patients and what you can do until you see your dentist:
1. Severe Toothache
Apply a cold compress and take over-the-counter pain medication (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc.) to manage the discomfort. Also, rinse with warm salt water and sleep with your head elevated until you see your dentist.
2. Cracked Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm, clean water and apply a cold compress to help with pain and swelling until an emergency dentist can see you.
3. Tooth Fracture
If you have a broken or chipped tooth, rinse with water and apply pressure to stop any bleeding. Call an emergency dentist Las Vegas office to see if they can see you right away.
4. Loose or Knocked-Out Tooth (Luxation or Avulsion)
Try to preserve the tooth by keeping it in your mouth or placing it in milk, saline, or clean water. Apply pressure to reduce bleeding and see an emergency dental professional as soon as possible.
5. Loose or Missing Dental Fillings
Contact your dentist right away if you’re experiencing pain or bleeding after a filling becomes loose or falls out.
6. Broken or Chipped Dental Crowns
If you break a dental crown, keep the crown if it wasn’t damaged in case your dentist can reuse it. Rinse your mouth and keep the area clean before your emergency appointment.
7. Broken Braces
Broken orthodontic equipment can be dangerous. Try to reduce irritation or injury by tucking in wires. Also, be careful not to swallow loose brackets. Then, call your dentist to make an emergency dental appointment.
If you’re experiencing one of these dental emergencies, contact Absolute Dental immediately so one of our Las Vegas dentists can accommodate you as soon as possible.
