What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is when your mouth is bleeding or you have moderate to severe tooth pain. A cracked, fractured, or broken tooth due to trauma qualifies as a dental emergency. You should also contact us right away if you have knocked out a permanent adult tooth. In those cases, we want to act quickly to help you save your teeth. Another example of a dental emergency is a dental abscess or tooth infection. That is a condition we want to treat quickly, so it does not worsen or lead to other serious medical issues.
If you are experiencing tooth pain or have other distressing symptoms, please call our office today. Our highly trained urgent dental care staff can gather the necessary information and make arrangements for you to be seen by an emergency dentist in Cypress. Also serving Spring, Tomball, and Houston, TX.
Best experience with a wonderful, well informed and hospitable staff. If it was possible to feel at ease and at home at the dentist, this is the place. With extended hours on Tuesday that pretty much saved me when I was in need. They added me last minute for a 5:30 appointment, it was an emergency. I was so desperate at the time, I didn’t realise they were located near Willowbrook and close to Champion Forest. Nearly an hour drive from the Houston Heights so well worth it! I will be back.
How to Handle a Dental Emergency
If a tooth is chipped, cracked, broken due to trauma, we suggest following these guidelines:
- Handle teeth carefully, and avoid touching the roots of the tooth.
- Clean the tooth with water and store in a glass of milk, if possible.
- Call us once you have done these things.
If your jaw is fractured or broken, go to the emergency room immediately.
How Do I Avoid a Dental Emergency?
Here at The Gentle Art of Dentistry, we can be your emergency dental practice. However, we would also love to help you avoid dental emergencies altogether. Following some of these suggestions can keep you safe and healthy.
- Practice good oral hygiene. Brush and floss twice a day. Attend regular dental cleanings.
- Report any toothache or tooth pain to our office, so we can help you before it develops into a more serious issue.
- Avoid chewing hard foods like ice, popcorn kernels, or hard candies. These foods can crack your teeth.
- Do not use your teeth to cut or pull anything.
- Wear proper safety equipment when participating in sports or recreational activities.
