Does Your Situation Require Emergency Dental Care?

Dental emergencies never occur “on schedule.” You can’t predict when a dental accident or severe toothache will occur. But you can be prepared by knowing who to call when you need urgent dental care. In Denver, Colorado, that person is Dr. Drew Boyd from Urgent Dental of Denver. Dr. Boyd and our team are at the ready to handle all your emergency dental care needs. When should you see an emergency dentist? This question and many others are answered here.

What’s considered a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies are situations where you’re in severe pain, in danger of losing one or more teeth, or have suffered soft tissue injuries resulting in uncontrolled bleeding. These are situations that require immediate attention to get them under control. When in doubt, give Dr. Boyd a call to explain your situation. We’ll guide you to the best course of action to restore your oral health.

What conditions warrant emergency dental care? 

You should seek our emergency dental services for:

  • A knocked out tooth
  • Severe toothache
  • Uncontrolled bleeding in your mouth
  • Dental trauma resulting in a severely cracked or broken tooth
  • Abscessed tooth

What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

Pick up your tooth by its crown (the part you chew on) and gently rinse it to wash off dirt or debris. If possible, place your tooth back inside its socket and keep it there until you can get to an emergency dentist. If the tooth can’t be reinserted in its socket, place it in a glass of milk to keep it moist. Contact Dr. Boyd right away so we can prepare for your arrival. If you act quickly, we may be able to reattach your tooth to preserve your smile.

What can I expect from an emergency dentist?

The first thing you can expect is pain relief! If you’re in pain, Dr. Boyd will offer medication to ease your painful symptoms. Then we’ll inspect the damage to your tooth or gums, assess your situation, and recommend the best treatment. You’ll receive a prompt and accurate diagnosis of your condition and the appropriate treatment to get you back on your feet. Dental emergencies can be frightening and stressful, especially when children are involved. Knowing you’re in the hands of a caring dental professional will help put you at ease.

Why should I see a dentist right away?

Immediate pain relief is one of the best reasons to see your dentist without delay. Getting prompt treatment also keeps your condition from worsening, which can help expedite your recovery. Delaying treatment could result in losing one or more teeth or experiencing complications that require more expensive treatment later down the line.
