Nervous About Emergency Dental Treatment?
Dental emergencies can be stressful enough without worrying about treatment. Ascend Dental Puyallup offers multiple sedation options for appropriate patients, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation and general anesthesia.
What Should I Do During a Dental Emergency?
Knocked-Out Adult Tooth | Keep the tooth moist. If possible, place it back in the socket without touching the root. Otherwise, keep it in milk or an ADA-accepted tooth preservation product and contact a dentist immediately.
Broken or Cracked Tooth | Rinse gently with warm water and use a cold compress if there is swelling while arranging for dental evaluation.
Toothache | Call for evaluation rather than relying solely on temporary pain relief. The goal should be diagnosing and treating the source.
Facial Swelling or Dental Abscess | Call promptly for evaluation.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat in Puyallup
Ascend Dental Puyallup provides urgent dental care for new and existing patients experiencing dental pain, swelling, injury, or a damaged tooth or restoration.
Swelling or Abscess
Dental infections can cause significant pain, swelling, pressure, or tenderness. Prompt treatment can relieve symptoms and help prevent the infection from spreading.
Lost crown or filling
A lost filling or crown can leave a tooth sensitive or vulnerable to further damage. We can evaluate the tooth and determine whether the restoration can be repaired, replaced, or temporarily protected.
Cracked, broken, or chipped tooth
Cracks and fractures can range from minor chips to significant structural damage. Early evaluation gives us the best opportunity to relieve discomfort and preserve the tooth when possible.
Severe Toothache
Tooth pain may be caused by decay, infection, a fracture, gum disease, or other dental problems. We will identify the cause and review your treatment options with you.
Loose or knocked out tooth
A knocked-out permanent tooth is a true dental emergency. Handle the tooth by the crown, avoid touching the root, and call us immediately. If possible, place the tooth back into the socket or keep it moist in milk while traveling to the office.
Not sure what to do?
Most toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and routine dental infections are best evaluated by a dentist. However, seek emergency medical care or call 911 if you are experiencing difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial or neck swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, or significant facial or jaw trauma.
If you are unsure where to go, call our office and we can help you determine the appropriate next step.
