How to Identify a Dental Emergency
Unfortunately, dental emergencies happen more often than you think. That’s why it’s important to know how to take care of your teeth when something urgent happens. While you may not know what your exact diagnosis will be, some common symptoms to be on the lookout for are:
- Any tooth, jaw, or mouth pain
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Swollen gums or jaw
- Foul taste or smell
- Loose or lost teeth
- Sensitivity to temperature or sweets
If you are unsure if your dental issue is an emergency or not, call 1-855-4LAKEVIEW and one of our trained team members will help you determine your next steps. If your dental emergency is potentially life-threatening, you should go to the emergency room.
Don’t Ignore Dental Pain
If you are currently experiencing pain in the mouth, jaw, or teeth, don’t ignore it! Toothaches can be caused by an infection or serious injury and should be addressed as soon as possible. Ignoring tooth and mouth pain or discomfort can lead to more permanent damage, which will ultimately be harder to treat and more costly.
What to do in Case of a Dental Emergency?
If you have been seriously injured or are experiencing neck or head pain, please call 911 or visit a local emergency room.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, we recommend you contact us immediately by calling 1-855-4LAKEVIEW to receive same-day dental care. One or more of our practices throughout South Jersey are open evenings and weekends. Our office staff will also advise you on any questions and dental care recommendations until we can see you. It’s also helpful to keep track of the steps you have taken and communicate those to your dentist.
Once you are in our office for your emergency dental appointment, we will assess the injury or symptoms. This may include capturing x-rays of the area and determining the source of the issue. Our team will also be able to address and manage pain relief.
Treatment Options
Lakeview Dental Care Dentists will prescribe treatment depending on the type and severity of your emergency. In some cases, pain management via medications will be the best course of action. In other cases, your issue might require emergency oral surgery, tooth repair procedures, root canal therapy, or crowns. Our knowledgeable team will create a treatment plan suited to your situation and needs.
Your dentist might also schedule you for additional follow-up appointments to ensure your teeth are healing appropriately.
Costs of Dental Emergencies
We believe affordable dental care should be a right for everyone. That’s why we ensure you’ll pay as little out of pocket as possible.
Regardless if you have insurance or not, call us to discuss our affordable dental care options.
