What Is Emergency Dentistry? 

Emergency dentistry is pretty straightforward. When a patient experiences an accident that leave their teeth or the surrounding supporting tissue of the teeth damaged, they can come to Drs Chapman & Owens to get things fixed.

At our practice, we like to be prepared for any of the following types of dental emergencies:

  • Broken teeth: If multiple teeth have broken or feel loose, come see us right away. We may be able to repair your tooth, especially if you keep the pieces together.
  • Lost tooth: If a tooth has fallen out completely, keep it with you and bring it when you come see us. Prompt care means that we may be able to save your tooth.
  • Trauma to teeth from accident: Trauma can occur when teeth are struck and caused to move or break off. Trauma also includes injuries to gums, lips, and tongue. 
  • Extreme pain when biting: This can be an indicator of something more serious going on below the skin and gums.
  • Gum abscesses: These are pockets of pus that form when your teeth have developed infections. They can be quite painful and tender.
  • Swelling or bleeding of the mouth or gums: Your mouth could be reacting to some recent, forceful trauma. You might also be suffering from gum disease, which requires prompt treatment as well.
  • Inflammation of wisdom teeth: Your teeth probably need to be removed if this occurs.

We can help you with these dental emergencies. You can call today to get the help you need.
