When you have a dental issue, you want timely assistance to alleviate symptoms and protect your health. Even if you take great care of your teeth and see the dentist often, a dental emergency can happen at any time to anyone, regardless of how cautious you are.
When a dental emergency strikes, you likely won’t have an appointment already set up. In these situations, you deserve prompt, compassionate dental care in a convenient location. This is why Dr. Andrew Allouch and the team at Broadway Dental of Pearland offer emergency dental services.
So, if you have a dental emergency or need advice on what to do next, call our office for assistance.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is a broad category referring to any dental concern that requires immediate or urgent care. Essentially, a dental emergency is any dental issue that you must address as quickly as possible, so it is often not something you can plan for or anticipate.
Routine services like dental cleanings aren’t dental emergencies, but things like severe pain, dental trauma, or a knocked-out tooth require same-day dental care.
What Are Examples of Dental Emergencies?
Dental emergencies need to be addressed quickly. Otherwise, you could be subject to worsening symptoms or long-lasting damage to your mouth.
While there’s not a comprehensive list of urgent dental issues, some of the most common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothaches or tooth pain
- Cracked teeth
- Knocked out teeth
- Dislodged teeth
- Dental abscesses
- Deep cuts or other serious damage to soft tissue
- Jaw injuries
If you have mild tooth pain, a small cut, or a minor chip or crack in your tooth, you probably don’t need to get immediate care. However, you should still call and make an appointment soon, as these issues can worsen. Our office staff can also advise you about what steps to take to relieve any pain or discomfort in non-emergency situations, so don’t hesitate to give us a call.
At Broadway Dental of Pearland, we can address all of these emergency issues and more in our comfortable office. We provide sedation dentistry services as well as same-day appointments to restore your teeth and alleviate pain and discomfort.
If you are unsure whether you have a dental emergency, you can always call us to learn more and see what steps to take next.
Same-Day Appointments
If you have symptoms like excess bleeding or a suspected broken bone, it is important to go straight to an urgent care center or emergency room, depending on the severity of the problem.
However, for less severe dental issues, our dental professionals are here to help with compassionate services and sympathy for your situation.
We have the flexibility to offer same-day appointments when you need them. So, we can fit you into the schedule right away if you have an urgent dental issue.
Have Questions? Give Us a Call
A dental emergency is often stressful and even painful. You don’t want to wait to get dental care to address the issue and alleviate your symptoms. If you don’t have a severe emergency, the best thing to do is call our office right away. We can talk to you about what happened and determine what steps you should take next.
