What is emergency pain relief?
Emergency pain relief encompasses a number of treatments that are designed to alleviate the pain involved in a dental emergency. Dental emergencies can damage your mouth and cause a tremendous amount of discomfort.
The team of professionals at 3D MicroEndo is particularly attuned to their patients’ well-being and takes every effort to ease your pain while they provide emergency treatment.
What are some situations that can cause emergency pain?
Dental emergencies can happen for a number of reasons. They can arise in situations as dramatic as car collisions and sports injuries, or in otherwise unsuspecting situations, like biting down awkwardly on a piece of hard food.
Common dental emergencies include:
- Knocked out tooth
- Loose or dislodged filling, crown, or bridge
- Bleeding in your mouth that won’t stop
- A tear or cut on your tongue, lips, gums, or cheeks
- Severe toothache
- Abscess
- Fractured or broken tooth
If you're unsure what is causing your mouth pain, get to the offices at 3D MicroEndo as soon as possible or call the office to talk to one of the friendly team members.
Should I visit the dentist or a hospital for a dental emergency?
If your condition is confined to your mouth and oral tissues, it’s always better to visit an emergency dentist. Emergency dentists are better equipped at handling dental conditions and can provide you with more thorough treatment than a hospital can.
The only time you should visit a hospital for your dental emergency is if you’re also experiencing trauma in another area of your body, like your head or neck, because it can have more severe outcomes than a dental injury.
How should I handle a dental emergency?
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, get to one of 3D MicroEndo’s offices as soon as you can. Treating your dental emergency quickly can sometimes make the difference in saving your tooth.
If one of your teeth has been knocked out of your mouth, rinse it off. Be careful to only touch it by the crown, not by the tooth’s roots. Put it in a glass of milk or saliva and bring it with you to 3D MicroEndo for your treatment.
