What Is the Best Time to Call Fayetteville Emergency Dental Service?

The great thing about emergency dental care is that you can call any time. If you call during our normal office hours, we will get you in to see our dentist the same day. In any of the following cases, call us for emergency care right away.

• Broken or lost fillings – Before decay and discomfort worsens, get urgent dental care.
• Broken or cracked teeth – Call the emergency dentist to prevent further damage.
• Loose or knocked out teeth – Get immediate help to restore stability.
• Significant oral pain or pressure – See the emergency dentist for urgent pain management.
• Extreme sensitivity in your teeth or gums – Your urgent care dental team can help.
• Abscessed tooth – The pain and swelling of an abscessed tooth can quickly worsen, so get emergency treatment right away.
• Advanced decay – When decay reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, you need urgent care and pain management.
• A lost or broken crown – When you lose a crown or other dental work, the tooth below is extremely sensitive, requiring emergency dental care.
• Damage to an orthodontic appliance – If your braces break, leaving sharp wires that need immediate repair, your emergency dentist is ready to help.
• Enamel damage due to grinding your teeth – Tooth enamel protects your teeth from decay and damage. When teeth grinding wears the enamel away, your teeth are vulnerable to further damage. Call for urgent preventative treatment and pain relief.
• Pressure in your sinuses – An impacted wisdom tooth or an abscess can cause pressure in your sinuses. Call for urgent dental care.

Before you leave for your appointment, you can take some first aid measures yourself. For example, rinse with a warm salt and water solution to ease tooth pain. Apply direct pressure to a bleeding mouth wound to staunch the blood flow. For mouth swelling, use an icepack on your face above the site of the damage.

When Should I Call 911?

Some oral issues, especially when accompanied by other injuries, need more comprehensive urgent care. If you have been injured in an accident or have any of these symptoms, call 911 or get a ride to the hospital emergency room:

• Significant swelling in your neck or facial area
• Bleeding that direct pressure cannot control
• Trouble breathing
• Broken facial bones or a broken jaw
• Soft tissue damage in the mouth and the facial area
