What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry refers to any urgent dental care required to treat problems that cause severe pain or discomfort, require immediate attention to save a tooth or involve facial trauma. Dr. Foleck’s emergency dental clinic is equipped to handle all dental emergencies quickly and effectively.

Common Dental Emergencies

Toothaches

A toothache is a common dental emergency signaling irritation in the nerve of a tooth. This intense, throbbing pain indicates issues like tooth decay, damaged fillings, cracked teeth, or gum disease. Dr. Foleck can diagnose the cause of a toothache and provide immediate pain relief and treatment.

Broken Teeth

Cracked, fractured, or broken teeth qualify as dental emergencies. Whether you chip a tooth or one break due to trauma, prompt care from Dr. Foleck is vital to restore form and function. It also reduces the risk of further damage.

Dental Abscesses

A dental abscess refers to a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection in the teeth or gums. Abscesses form at the root of a tooth or between the tooth and gum. The swelling is extremely painful and requires immediate emergency treatment from Dr. Foleck. If left untreated, the infection can spread quickly. Dr. Foleck will drain the pus and treat the abscess to provide instant pain relief.

Broken Orthodontics

Damage to orthodontic appliances like braces, wires, retainers, or bridges constitutes a dental emergency. Contact Dr. Foleck ASAP if brackets, bands, or archwires come loose or break as this can allow teeth to shift. Prompt orthodontic repair from Dr. Foleck prevents issues like misaligned bites and further periodontal injury while waiting for your regular orthodontist appointment.

Knocked Out Teeth

A complete tooth loss due to injury requires urgent attention from Dr. Foleck. The sooner the tooth is reimplanted, the better the chances are to save it. Proper emergency protocols help with tooth and bone preservation.
