Dental emergencies are sudden or gradual dental problems, often caused by accidents or chronic conditions. Emergencies require professional dental care and can’t be fixed with at-home treatment. Leaving emergency dental problems alone can increase the risk of future complications. Receiving care from your emergency dentist in Keego Harbor, MI, can prevent dental problems and the need for complex, costly maintenance later on. Dental emergencies are one of the general dentistry services Dr. Yaldo provides to the public in Keego Harbor, MI.
Emergency Dentist in Keego Harbor, MI
Dental emergencies are problems that require prompt, professional care from a dentist. Common dental emergencies that our office can address often include:
Tooth Loss
If you have knocked out a permanent tooth, try to locate the tooth. Hold the tooth by its top or crown. You can rinse the tooth roots in cool water and try to place the tooth back in its socket. If you cannot place the tooth back, you can transport the tooth to our office in a cup of saliva. We will try to place the tooth back in the mouth. We recommend a dental implant if we cannot reattach the tooth.
Broken or Lost Dental Restorations
Is your dental crown damaged? Have you lost part of your dental filling? We can repair or replace restorations in our office. It’s essential to receive professional care if you break or lose a dental restoration, as you can damage your teeth or gums if you leave the restoration in your mouth. Do not attempt to place your restoration back in your mouth if it falls out.
Tooth Pain
There are many common causes of toothaches or tooth pain, from cavities and tooth decay to dental injuries and impacted teeth. Contact our office if you are unsure of the cause of your tooth pain or if there is a particular tooth or area of your smile in pain. We will examine your smile and take X-rays as needed to discover the cause and treatment for your pain. In addition, our office provides root canal treatment, dental extractions, and gum disease treatments for some of the most common causes of toothaches and tooth pain.
Bleeding Tissue
If you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek and it starts to bleed, you can apply pressure to the area. Additionally, if your gums bleed when you brush your teeth, you may need to floss more or schedule an examination for gum inflammation or gum disease. However, if you have received dental treatment and experienced continual bleeding or sustained an injury to the tissue in your mouth, you may require professional care. Before you visit our office, apply pressure to the bleeding area with a clean cloth; we will clean the site and find the source of your bleeding.
