EMERGENCY DENTISTRY
While it would be nice if dental issues only came up during regular business hours, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes problems can arise suddenly even when you don’t have an appointment.
When unexpected dental pain or discomfort occurs, we are ready and willing to help. Dr. Todd and his team are pleased to offer timely emergency dental care. We want to help you in your time of need by relieving your pain and restoring your health right away.
Immediate Treatment
It’s our job to give you a great dental experience every time you walk through our doors. We want to make your dental care convenient by working with your schedule. Some emergencies cannot wait, so we offer same-day services and flexible scheduling when necessary.
Our experienced dentists will be able to assess and diagnose your condition for immediate treatment.
We focus our emergency dental care on long-term benefits for the patient. With emergency dental care, we take action to reverse the problem permanently and protect you from potential future problems as well.
If you need emergency dental care, contact our office as soon as possible. If your dental emergency is life-threatening, call 911 or visit your local emergency room. In any other oral health emergency, we are equipped to provide you with the emergency dentistry care you need.
When you come to us for emergency care, we will work hard to provide you with treatment that is both affordable and effective. We only recommend services that are in your best interest.
Do I Need Emergency Dental Care
Some patients wonder when emergency dental care is necessary. Generally, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Remember, if you do have questions, you can always call our office to get advice. When we hear more about your symptoms, we can recommend seeing us immediately, booking a later appointment, or going to an emergency room.
If you do have a very severe injury that is life-threatening or requires immediate attention, always call emergency services first.
However, for other dental injuries, Dr. Todd and our caring dental staff can likely assist you. Some of the most common dental emergencies we see at Butler Smiles Dental Care include:
- A severe toothache
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Loose teeth
- A knocked-out tooth
- Abscess
- Jaw swelling or pain
- Loose, dislodged, or broken dental work
- Persistent numbness, pain, or bleeding
When dealing with any of these dental issues, don’t hesitate to call our office. We will get you into the office as quickly as possible or make a recommendation on what you should do next. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and take dental issues seriously.
When Can You Wait to Book an Appointment Instead?
You can always call us to learn more, but some dental issues require care in the next week or so but aren’t as urgent.
The following cases are cause for non-emergency dental care:
In these cases, we recommend making an appointment soon, but you don’t have to seek out immediate care. If symptoms worsen or if you have severe pain or bleeding, you should update us immediately so you can get the treatment you need.
