Emergency Dental Care at Platinum Smiles Dentistry

At Platinum Smiles Family Dentistry, we know dental emergencies can happen anytime. If you’re facing a dental emergency, our team is ready to provide urgent care. Dental emergencies include issues such as a knocked-out tooth, chipped or broken teeth, or severe tooth pain. Here’s how we can assist:

Emergency Examinations

In a dental emergency, quick examination is crucial. Our emergency exams swiftly assess the situation, identify the issue, and create a treatment plan for immediate action. Emergency Tooth Extraction We may need to perform an emergency tooth extraction if a tooth is badly decayed, injured, or causing significant discomfort. If left untreated, such dental problems can lead to serious complications, including infections in the tooth and surrounding tissues. To alleviate pain and prevent further issues with your teeth and gums, we perform extractions with care and precision.

Temporary Restorations

We provide temporary fixes for broken or lost dental restorations to protect your teeth until a permanent solution is available. These restorations help restore functionality and comfort while you wait.

Abscess Drainage

Dental abscesses cause significant pain and swelling and may involve fractured tooth pieces or damage to the soft tissue. We offer professional drainage treatments to relieve pressure, reduce infection, and promote healing. Our goal is to address the infection as quickly as possible and prevent further complications.

Immediate Care for Dental Emergencies

In case of a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or chipped tooth, it is important to seek prompt care. If you have a knocked-out tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water to help manage the situation. Hold the tooth by the crown and avoid scrubbing or removing any tissue.

Apply pressure to the area to control bleeding and take a counter pain reliever if necessary. Contact our dental office immediately to address these urgent issues. If the situation is severe, you may need to visit a hospital emergency room.
