Because Your Health Matters
What Constitutes A Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency includes sudden tooth pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, severe infections or abscesses, and injuries to the mouth or facial structure. If you experience any of these issues, contact us immediately for urgent care.
What Should I Do If I Knock Out A Tooth?
If a tooth is knocked out, try to handle it by the crown (top), avoid touching the root, and rinse it gently if dirty. Place the tooth in a container of milk or saltwater, and seek dental care within an hour for the best chance of reattachment.
How Quickly Should I Seek Dental Care For A Severe Toothache?
Immediate attention is essential for severe toothaches, as they may indicate an underlying issue such as an infection. Rinse your mouth with warm water and use floss to remove any debris near the affected tooth. Contact our office as soon as possible to assess and treat the pain.
Can I Use Over-The-Counter Medication For Temporary Relief From Tooth Pain?
Yes, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help alleviate discomfort temporarily. However, they do not address the root cause of the problem. Seek professional dental care promptly to identify and treat the underlying issue.
Do You Offer Same-Day Appointments For Emergencies?
Yes, at Hayes Family Dentistry, we prioritize emergency cases and strive to provide same-day appointments to address urgent dental health needs and alleviate discomfort quickly.
We Picture A World Where Relief Is Just A Call Away
Our dental professionals, Dr. Kevin Hayes and Dr. Sandy Hayes, bring years of experience and compassionate care to every emergency visit. Understanding the stress and pain involved, we take a gentle and reassuring approach, keeping you informed throughout the process and ensuring your treatment is effective and stress-free.
In emergency situations, immediate care is crucial, but preventing future dental problems is equally important. After addressing the urgent issue, we provide follow-up care tailored to reinforce your dental health and prevent recurrence. Whether through restorative treatments or preventive advice, at Hayes Family Dentistry, we’re invested in your long-term wellbeing.
One patient recounted, “They responded quickly when I broke my tooth. The care I received was exceptional, and they made sure I left with a plan to prevent it from happening again.”
