Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
When you're in pain or distress, identifying the problem quickly is key. Our emergency dental team is equipped to treat:
- Severe toothaches or oral swelling
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
- Abscesses or oral infections
- Lost fillings, crowns, or dental restorations
- Bleeding or trauma following an accident
- Pain following recent dental work
Some situations require immediate attention to save a tooth or prevent further complications. If you’re unsure whether you need emergency dental care, contact us and we’ll help you decide your next step.
What to Expect From Emergency Dental Care
When you visit Harlem Family Dental for a dental emergency, our priority is fast relief and a clear treatment plan. Here’s what you can expect:
- A thorough evaluation of the affected area
- Digital imaging, if needed, to identify the cause
- Immediate pain management and stabilization
- Clear guidance on follow-up care or restorative treatment
Depending on the nature of the issue, emergency dental treatment may involve anything from a quick repair to a more complex procedure, such as a tooth extraction or root canal therapy. We’ll walk you through your options so you can make the best choice for your health.
Supporting Services for Full Recovery
Our emergency dental care often connects to our full suite of restorative services. Once the urgent concern is handled, we may recommend:
- A dental crown to protect a weakened tooth
- A composite filling to seal a cavity or crack
- A dental implant or bridge for tooth replacement
- Additional care like oral hygiene visits to maintain long-term results
From minor fixes to advanced procedures, Harlem Family Dental ensures your recovery is seamless and supported.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see an emergency dentist?
You should seek emergency dental care if you experience severe pain, trauma, swelling, or bleeding, or if you’ve lost or damaged a tooth. Immediate treatment can prevent complications and save teeth.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Keep the tooth moist (ideally in milk or saliva), avoid touching the root, and get to our office as quickly as possible. A tooth can sometimes be re-implanted if treated within an hour.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
Hospital emergency rooms can manage pain or infection but generally can’t provide dental procedures. An emergency dentist is better equipped to treat the root cause of your dental emergency.
Is emergency dental treatment covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover part of emergency treatment. We’ll help you navigate your benefits and offer flexible financing when needed.
Do you offer after-hours emergency dental care?
We encourage patients to call us right away at 762-242-5211. If we’re closed, our voicemail will guide you on what to do. We make every effort to accommodate urgent care needs as soon as possible.
