No one wakes up planning to schedule an emergency dentist, but dental emergencies are bound to occur. In dire situations like these, Wave Dentist is here for you. We offer extended hours and online scheduling to make your emergency dentist needs readily accessible. In addition, it is important to understand what services we can provide to help treat an abundance of oral emergencies, and what an emergency dental visit entails.
Tooth Fracture
A tooth fracture is a break or crack in the hard shell of the tooth. Feeling your teeth wiggle around could be a sign that something is wrong. You might have an infection or tooth injury you didn’t know about. It is best to take care of this problem as soon as possible, to prevent your tooth from falling out. Only an emergency dentist can place your real tooth back where it belongs in your mouth, or provide a dental veneer which is placed over the fractured tooth.
Serious Infections
Dental infections can be very serious, and can come when you least expect it. You think you’ve been taking good care of your teeth, when all of a sudden, you begin to experience unbearable pain. Now what are you going to do? Call an emergency dentist at Wave Dentist of course! Cavities or other tooth damage that is left untreated will fester until it turns into a dental abscess. This kind of pain doesn’t go away on its own, and can be life threatening.
Bleeding Mouth
From time to time, the gums may bleed during brushing and flossing which is normal on occasion, but what isn’t normal is if your gums bleed every time you floss or brush. In addition, if your gums bleed randomly when there is no force or pressure applied, this can be very concerning. Patients that experience excessive or random bleeding should visit an emergency dentist in order to be diagnosed and treated.
Swollen Jaw
In a dental emergency, a swollen jaw can be caused by a traumatic facial injury to one or more teeth or the entire jaw. On the other hand, if your jaw starts swelling or hurting out of nowhere, you most likely have a severe mouth infection that is traveling down. This infection can be a cause due to an abscessed tooth, or pericoronitis, the swelling of the gums around a partially erupted wisdom tooth. All in all, the key to eliminating this infection is seeking treatment as soon as possible.
Severe Toothache
There are millions of people that may have experienced a toothache in their lifetime. The amount of tooth pain can vary depending on various factors from dental nerve damage, the longevity of the tooth pain, how long the tooth pain has been occurring in the mouth or the type of toothache. In fact, unbearable toothaches can be caused by a number of oral issues, so getting diagnosed by a professional is the key to receiving proper relief.
