Emergency Exam Promo $79
Emergency exam for pain, including X-Rays
During a dental emergency visit, the treatment will depend on the nature and severity of the emergency. Here’s an overview of what typically happens:
1. Initial Assessment:
- The dentist will ask about your symptoms, including the nature of the pain, how long it’s been happening, and any other relevant details (such as a recent injury or a medical condition).
- They may also take an X-ray to get a clear view of your teeth, gums, or jawbone to diagnose the issue properly
2. Pain Management:
- If you’re in pain, the dentist will take measures to help manage it right away. This could involve administering a local anesthetic to numb the area or prescribing painkillers if necessary.
3.Treatment of the Emergency: Depending on the situation, different treatments may be administered:
- Toothache: If caused by an infection or a cavity, a filling or root canal may be needed.
- Broken or Knocked-Out Tooth: If it’s a small fracture, a filling or crown may be enough. For a knocked-out tooth, the dentist might attempt to reattach it or use a replacement (like an implant or bridge).
- Abscess or Infection: If there’s an infection, the dentist might drain the abscess and prescribe antibiotics.
- Soft Tissue Injury: If you’ve injured your gums, tongue, or the inside of your mouth, the dentist may clean and stitch up the wound.
4. Post-Procedure Care:
- The dentist will give you instructions on how to care for your mouth after the emergency treatment. This may include recommendations for pain management, follow-up appointments, and how to avoid further damage.
5. Follow-up:
- Depending on the situation, a follow-up visit might be necessary to monitor healing or continue with additional treatments.
In any case, the goal of an emergency dental visit is to relieve pain, prevent further damage, and stabilize the situation so you can either return to normal or continue treatment as needed.
