Unexpected dental emergencies can be uncomfortable and concerning. At VSP Dental, we recognize how dental pain, sensitivity, or a broken or cracked tooth can affect your day-to-day activities. Because of this, our emergency dentistry services are made to address and resolve these issues the same-day you call for an appointment so you can get back to smiling!

How Emergency Dentistry Can Address Common Dental Issues

• Tooth Pain and Sensitivity: Severe tooth pain and sensitivity can be caused by various factors such as tooth decay, gum infection, or an abscess. Urgent dental care provides prompt assessment and treatment, which may include a filling or root canal therapy.
• Cracked or Damaged Tooth: Accidents, sports injuries, or even biting down on something hard can result in a cracked, chipped, or broken tooth. Emergency dentistry quickly repairs damaged teeth using treatments like dental bonding, crowns, or veneers, restoring your smile and preventing further complications.
• Dental extractions: To preserve oral health, a tooth may need to be extracted if it has undergone significant trauma, crowding, or disease.
• Crowns, Veneers, and Fillings in a Single Appointment: We can finish crowns, fillings, and veneers in a single appointment for patients in need of quick dental restorations. Even though it's not an emergency, we recognize your need and want the restoration work done as soon as possible.

Prevention Techniques To Avoid Dental Emergencies

• Avoid Hard Foods and Objects: Chewing on ice, hard candies, or other hard objects can crack or damage teeth. Be mindful of what you chew on and avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or bottles.
• Regular Dental Checkups: Early detection of possible problems such as cavities, cracks, or gum disease depends on routine dental visits. You can keep these issues from developing into emergencies by identifying them early on.
• Treat Tooth Sensitivity at an Early Age: Don't disregard any sensitivity or minor pain that you notice! Make an appointment with our compassionate and understanding dentist so that we can diagnose and treat the issue before it becomes more serious.
