A dental emergency is a situation requiring immediate attention from Dr. Andrew Donald or Dr. Steven Rattner to alleviate pain, prevent further damage or address serious oral health issues. At AD Dentistry, we understand that these situations can be stressful and unpredictable. If you encounter a dental emergency, we urge you to contact us immediately. Our team is dedicated to providing prompt and effective care to address your needs swiftly.
Common dental emergencies we handle include:
- Severe Toothaches: Persistent or intense tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue that needs urgent attention, such as an infection or decay.
- Lost Dental Restorations: If you lose a filling or crown, it is important to have it replaced quickly to avoid further damage or discomfort.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to the gums, tongue, cheeks or lips can be painful and may require immediate care to prevent infection and promote healing.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: A cracked or fractured tooth can cause pain and sensitivity, and if left untreated, it may lead to more severe issues.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Prompt treatment of chipped or broken teeth can prevent further damage and restore the appearance and function of your smile.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: If a tooth is knocked out, immediate dental care can increase the chances of saving and re-implanting the tooth.
