A dental emergency can occur at any time, often when you least expect it. At Comfort Dental Center, we prioritize your oral health and wellbeing by offering prompt care for urgent dental situations. Whether you are experiencing severe pain, a broken tooth or another emergency, our dentists and team are here to help. We encourage you to contact us immediately so we can provide the necessary treatment to relieve your discomfort and protect your smile.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Several dental issues require urgent care to prevent further complications. If you experience any of the following, do not hesitate to seek professional treatment:

• • Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or throbbing pain may indicate an infection or deep decay that requires immediate attention.
  • Chipped or Broken Teeth: A damaged tooth can be painful and vulnerable to further injury or infection.
  • Knocked-Out Teeth: If a tooth is dislodged, quick action may allow for successful reimplantation. Preserve the tooth in milk or saliva and seek care immediately.
  • Lost Fillings or Crowns: Missing restorations can expose sensitive areas of the tooth, leading to discomfort and potential damage.
  • Gum or Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or lacerations to the lips, cheeks, gums or tongue should be addressed to prevent excessive bleeding or infection.

If you are unsure whether your situation requires emergency care, contact our office for guidance. We can help you determine the best course of action and schedule an appointment as soon as possible.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Acting quickly in a dental emergency can make a significant difference in preserving your oral health. If you experience a knocked-out tooth, handle it carefully by the crown and avoid touching the root. Keep it moist and bring it to your appointment. For severe pain or swelling, apply a cold compress and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed until you can be seen.

When to Visit the Emergency Room

Certain situations require immediate medical attention before seeking dental care. If you have suffered a head or neck injury, significant facial trauma or uncontrolled bleeding, call 911 or visit the emergency room before coming to our office.
