Are you in pain? Give us a call, and we’ll see you today even if you aren’t one of our current patients. Dental emergencies happen and when they do you require immediate care.
Tulsa emergency dentist, Dr. Noah will perform a simple, temporary solution to alleviate the pain on the spot or prescribe you antibiotics to clear up any infection. This will give you the time needed to discuss further and more permanent options with the doctor. The goal is to make sure that any immediate pain or discomfort is reduced quickly in order to make you as comfortable as possible.
Possible Dental Emergencies
What should you do in the meantime until you can get into the office? Here are some ways to temporarily alleviate your pain or injury:
- For a Toothache – A toothache is usually a sign that your tooth is infected. Many think that antibiotics will solve the problem, but it’s very important to come into the office because an infection inside your tooth requires treatment. A root canal treatment is typically the permanent solution that is required. To learn more about what to expect, please visit our root canal treatment page.
- For a Broken or Chipped Tooth – When you break a front tooth, it is more of an appearance-related concern. When you come in, we can repair the tooth temporarily. Then we can answer any questions you may have and help you to determine the treatment that is right for you. A broken back tooth may not be as urgent as a front tooth, unless you are in pain.
- For a Lost Crown or Filling – Often times a crown of filling may simply need to be re-cemented. But it is important that you act immediately if you have lost a crown because after only a couple of days your teeth may shift slightly to cause problems with re-fitting it. In regard to a filling, it is likely that a simple replacement will take care of it.
- For a Knocked Out Tooth – You want to call into our office immediately and if possible bring the tooth with you. If you act within a half an hour, there is a chance that the tooth can be saved and replanted. Place the tooth in a moist towel or a cup of milk and do not clean it.
Don’t delay! Give us a call today at (918) 321-2000 to schedule your Tulsa emergency dentist appointment. Often times all it takes is a quick, couple of minute procedure to relieve your pain.
