Emergency care for a broken tooth

Treating a broken tooth quickly helps prevent further damage like nerve damage and tooth abscess. You can protect your teeth from breaking by avoiding hard foods, wearing a mouthguard during physical activities, and keeping fillings in good repair to prevent loose fillings. If you ignore these issues, it could lead to severe problems. We're here 24/7 to assist with any dental emergencies in Arlington.

Treatment options for a throbbing tooth pain

Remedies for dental trauma

In diagnosing dental trauma, our office uses dental x-rays to view structural issues within the buccal cavity. Activities such as contact sports increase the risk for dental trauma. Should an injury occur, we may use splint application to stabilize affected teeth. For pain management, acetaminophen is typically administered. Severe cases may require referral to a local maxillofacial surgeon. Schedule an appointment today for your peace of mind.

Managing jaw ache

If you experience recurring jaw pain, it's crucial to see your dentist promptly. Regular visits allow for early detection of issues like periodontal disease, which can contribute to this discomfort. Diet can impact jaw pain, as hard or chewy foods strain oral tissues, leading to discomfort. If you have symptoms like dizziness, schedule a dentist appointment.

Avulsed tooth from an accident

Managing dental abscess

Prompt treatment of a dental abscess is crucial as delays could lead to further complications. Such complications encompass heart disease links, highlighting the importance of immediate medical advice. While an abscess commonly causes pain, it's not a universal symptom. Our Arlington office stands ready to provide a requisite root canal or an emergency periodontist appointment if necessary.

Treatments for severe toothache

A toothache, often a result of nerve pain, might signal a serious dental issue needing an emergency dentist appointment. Smoking exacerbates toothache, leads to red gums, and accelerates oral care issues. Our Arlington office caters to your emergency dental needs, ensuring your dental health isn't compromised by habits like smoking.

Emergency tooth removal near you

At our Arlington dental office, we assess factors like tooth decay severity or scenario of an abscessed tooth to decide on tooth extraction. While the risk of complications exists, we follow stringent infection control measures to minimize this. You may experience mild discomfort post-extraction, but we will provide comprehensive care post-extraction guidelines to ensure smooth recovery. If you require immediate relief or same-day tooth extraction, feel free to book an emergency dentist appointment with us.

Does brushing teeth help toothache?

Brushing your teeth can definitely help with toothache. Regular brushing helps to remove plaque and bacteria, reduce inflammation in the gums, and also helps keep cavities away which can lead to a toothache.

Can a dentist pull a severely infected tooth?

Yes, a dentist can pull a severely infected tooth. They use local anesthetics and sedation to reduce pain during the procedure so you can receive comfortable treatment with minimal discomfort.

Can the emergency room do anything for a tooth infection?

No, the emergency room cannot do anything for a tooth infection; they may provide pain relief but they are not equipped to handle dental issues. The best thing to do is visit your dentist as soon as possible in order to get proper treatment.

Should I brush a broken tooth?

Yes, if you have a broken tooth it is important to brush it. However, because there are fragile areas that may increase susceptibility to further damage, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and light pressure when brushing your broken tooth. Regularly flossing around the break can also help avoid infection or discomfort.
