Emergency Dentistry
Prompt care when a dental accident can’t wait.
A dental accident can be frightening — and unfortunately, accidents happen. Owens Dental is ready, willing, and able to help patients through dental emergencies.
What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry is straightforward. When an accident damages your teeth or the tissue supporting them, you can come to Owens Dental to have it addressed promptly. We’re prepared for any of the following:
Broken Teeth
If a tooth has broken or feels loose, come see us right away. We may be able to repair it — especially if you keep the pieces.
Lost Tooth
If a tooth has come out completely, bring it with you. Prompt care means we may be able to save it.
Trauma from an Accident
Teeth that have been struck and moved or broken off, as well as injuries to the gums, lips, and tongue.
Extreme Pain When Biting
This can signal something more serious below the surface of the tooth or gums.
Gum Abscesses
Pockets of pus that form when a tooth becomes infected. They’re often quite painful and tender.
Swelling or Bleeding
This may be a reaction to recent forceful trauma, or a sign of gum disease — both need prompt treatment.
Inflamed Wisdom Teeth
Inflammation often means the teeth need to be removed.
Emergency Care at Our Practice
We want you to get the care you need, when you need it. With that in mind, we do see same-day patients depending on the severity of the emergency.
You do not need to be an existing patient. If you have a dental emergency during business hours, call us and come in.
