Emergency dentist in Moorestown

If you have a severe injury involving your head, face, or other parts of the body following an accident, serious fall, or some other event, you should call 911 to seek emergency medical services. If you are simply having a tooth-related emergency, you can utilize emergency dental services. Here's a look at the situations where contacting an emergency dentist near you is the right choice:

• Broken or Fractured Tooth: Whether you've broken a single tooth or multiple teeth, it's important to seek emergency services to prevent further damage.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: If you've lost a tooth after being hit in the face, you need to know that you may be able to save the tooth if you act quickly. A strategy of rinsing the tooth, holding it by the crown, and getting it back in the socket may buy you some time. Some patients also keep a tooth moist by either placing it in their mouth or a glass of milk on the way to our office.
• Severe Pain and Pressure: Infection, severe decay, and undetected fractures can cause extreme pain that requires treatment right away.
• Extreme Tooth Sensitivity: If sensitivity escalates, this could be a sign of a serious dental issue.
• Severe Dental Decay: While cavities can usually be handled during normal dental appointments, you may be in excruciating pain if decay has reached a tooth's pulp.
• Abscessed Tooth: A severely abscessed tooth requires treatment before it damages surrounding teeth and gums.
• Loose or Missing Filling: Allowing your tooth to go without its filling can make it extremely vulnerable to pain and decay.
• Broken or Lost Crowns and Restoration: When the tooth under a compromised crown or restoration is exposed, it becomes dangerously vulnerable.
• Orthodontic Pain: If a part of your orthodontic appliances has snapped or shifted out of place, this can cause abrasions and pain. You'll need to get the wires stabilized as quickly as possible.
• Worn Teeth: If you grind your teeth heavily, you may be experiencing strong sensitivity and pain as a result of erosion. Getting fitted for a night guard as soon as possible is essential!
• Sinus Pressure: Many people with mysterious sinus pressure that's accompanied by tooth pain are actually dealing with impacted wisdom teeth. By seeing an emergency dentist, you can get to the bottom of the pain.

You don't have to wait to see a regular emergency dentist if you are having severe symptoms. Seek out emergency 24-hour dental care at a hospital or urgent care office. If you feel that you are unable to safely get yourself to a medical facility, call 911. Signs that your dental emergency requires emergency medical treatment include:

• Extreme swelling
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Respiratory distress/difficulty breathing
• Broken jaw
• Traumatic oral injury
