The Most Common Dental Emergencies

The term “dental emergency” can apply to a wide variety of things, but some of the most common ones that our office handles are the following:

Toothaches

Is My Toothache a Dental Emergency? Usually, patients notice warning signs of tooth decay, like pain when biting down, and do their best to ignore it. We don’t recommend taking that approach. After all, the more time that passes, the worse the root of the problem will get. So, if you have a toothache, the best thing to do is contact our Castle Rock dental team ASAP.

How You Should Handle a Toothache In addition to scheduling an emergency exam, you should do what you can to protect your tooth from further harm. A few examples include steering clear of tobacco products, sticking to soft foods, and not chewing on that side of your mouth. If needed, you can take OTC pain medication as well (following the directions on the label, of course).

How We Treat Toothaches First, we need to conduct an exam and pinpoint what’s causing your toothache. From there, we can discuss your treatment options, like a tooth-colored filling or dental crown. Finally, we can create your custom treatment plan, answer any questions you have, and start the process of restoring your pain-free smile!

Chipped Teeth

Is a Chipped Tooth a Dental Emergency? Since your tooth cannot regenerate and it’s possible for an infection to develop, even small chips warrant a visit to our office within the next day or two. If you’re in pain, then we will do our very best to see you the same day you call for treatment.

How You Should Handle a Chipped Tooth Handling a chipped tooth correctly boils down to three steps: scheduling an appointment with us, rinsing your mouth periodically with clean, room-temperature water, and covering the tooth with sugar-free gum to protect the soft tissue in your mouth.

How We Treat Chipped Teeth There are four treatments for a chipped tooth: veneers, Lumineers, metal-free restorations, and dental bonding. The one we recommend for you will depend on several factors, including the location of the tooth and the size of the chip.

Cracked Tooth

Is a Cracked Tooth a Dental Emergency? Whether the crack in your enamel is small or large, it warrants an emergency visit to our Castle Rock dental office. So, don’t wait – call us right away to let us know what happened and schedule a same-day appointment.

How You Should Handle a Cracked Tooth To keep pain, discomfort, and sensitivity at bay, we recommend avoiding spicy foods, not chewing on that side of your mouth, drinking room-temperature water, and taking OTC pain medication as directed.

How We Treat Cracked Teeth Sometimes, a cracked tooth can be saved with a dental crown. Other times, the damage is so extensive that the tooth needs to be removed. In that case, we will thoroughly numb your mouth, extract the tooth, and replace it with a dental bridge or implant.
