Emergency Dentistry

What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry involves immediate treatment for dental problems that require prompt attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and restore function. Common dental emergencies include toothaches, knocked-out teeth, fractures, chips or soft tissue injuries like cuts to the gums or lips.

The Process:

1. Emergency Appointment Scheduling: Call Nook Dental as soon as you experience a dental emergency, and we will prioritize getting you in for prompt care.

2. Assessment and Diagnosis: Our skilled team will assess your condition, using digital X-rays and a thorough examination to identify the cause of the emergency.

3. Treatment: Depending on the issue, treatment may involve pain relief, antibiotic prescriptions, repairing a tooth, or stabilizing the area with temporary measures.

4. Follow-Up Care: After the appropriate immediate care is provided, we’ll advise you on any necessary follow-up visits or treatments to ensure a full recovery and restore long-term dental health.

Indications:

• Severe toothaches or persistent pain

• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth

• Knocked-out teeth

• Soft tissue injuries (gums, lips, tongue)

• Abscesses or infections causing swelling or fever

• Lost or damaged dental restorations (fillings, crowns)

Contraindications:

• Non-urgent dental concerns that do not require immediate care

• Conditions requiring specialized treatment that may need to be referred to an oral surgeon or specialist​​​​​​​
