WHEN DENTAL PAIN CAN'T WAIT
Dental pain is a signal
worth understanding.
Dental pain can have many causes, from decay and infection to a damaged filling, cracked tooth or inflammation around the gums.
Rather than simply masking the discomfort, our approach begins with identifying what is causing the problem and determining the appropriate treatment.
COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES
Care for urgent
dental problems.
Prompt assessment can help determine the cause of your symptoms and prevent a dental problem from becoming more complicated.
Dental Swelling
Swelling around a tooth, gum or face can require prompt dental assessment, particularly when accompanied by significant pain or other symptoms.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A fractured or damaged tooth can expose sensitive structures and make chewing uncomfortable. Treatment depends on the extent and location of the damage.
Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown can leave the tooth vulnerable and may cause sensitivity or discomfort. Timely evaluation can help protect the tooth.
Dental Injury
Accidents or injuries can affect teeth, gums and surrounding structures. Prompt examination helps determine the extent of the injury.
Sudden Sensitivity
New or intense sensitivity to hot, cold or pressure may indicate an underlying dental problem that needs assessment.
UNTIL YOU ARE SEEN
What you can do
while waiting for care.
Simple precautions may help you stay more comfortable until your dental assessment.
01
Keep the area clean
Continue gentle brushing and oral hygiene around the affected area without causing unnecessary irritation.
02
Avoid very hot or cold foods
If the tooth is sensitive, avoid foods and drinks that clearly trigger or worsen the discomfort.
03
Choose softer foods
If chewing is painful, softer foods may reduce pressure on the affected tooth.
04
Do not delay assessment
Temporary improvement in pain does not necessarily mean that the underlying dental problem has resolved.
