When Emergency Dental Care May Be Needed

Whether you have suffered an injury, are experiencing serious pain, or need to fix a problem with your teeth right away, Alexandria Dental Art can help you address issues such as:

• Knocked-Out Teeth: One or more of your teeth may be partially or completely dislodged from their sockets due to an accident or injury. By receiving prompt treatment, you can improve the chances of saving the tooth and avoiding ongoing problems.
• Broken or Chipped Teeth: Fractures may be caused by accidents that involve dental trauma or by biting down on hard foods. These issues can leave teeth vulnerable to further damage if they are not addressed quickly.
• Infections or Abscesses: Swelling, fever, or pus around a tooth or gums may indicate that you are experiencing a dangerous infection that will require immediate treatment.
• Severe Tooth Pain: When you have experienced pain in your teeth, gums, or jaw that does not subside, this may indicate an infection, severe decay, or other issues that will need to be addressed quickly.
• Damage to Gums, Cheeks, or Jawbones: Accidents may result in injuries that affect the soft tissue in your mouth or the bone structures in your jaw. Urgent care may be needed to repair damage and prevent complications.
• Lost Restorations: Fillings, crowns, bridges, or veneers may become dislodged. This can leave teeth unprotected, causing significant sensitivity or discomfort. Immediate repairs may need to be performed to prevent further damage and limit pain.
• Loose or Shifting Teeth: These issues may be a sign of advanced gum disease or trauma. An immediate evaluation should be performed to determine the treatments that may prevent the loss of teeth, repair damage, and restore function.

Same-Day Emergency Dental Services at Alexandria Dental Art

When a dental emergency arises, prompt treatment is critical. Our team makes every effort to see emergency patients on the same day. During an emergency appointment, our team will:

• Evaluate the condition with a thorough exam, including X-ray imaging to assess the damage or source of pain.
• Provide immediate relief by addressing infections, stabilizing damaged teeth, or controlling bleeding and swelling.
• Restore function and appearance through temporary or permanent solutions such as bonding, crowns, or reimplantation of knocked-out teeth.
• Develop a long-term treatment plan that focuses on fully repairing and restoring oral health after the emergency has been addressed.

Restorative Solutions Following Emergencies

After the immediate concern is resolved, additional restorative treatments may be necessary to ensure that you can maintain good oral health. Depending on the situation, we can provide services such as:

• Fillings or crowns to repair fractured teeth or other types of damage
• Root canals to address nerve infections and save your natural teeth
• Bridges or dental implants to replace teeth
• Periodontal treatment to restore gum health and prevent recurring problems
