Immediate Care for Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies are unexpected and can be highly distressing, often requiring immediate attention to prevent further pain and complications. At Peoria Dentistry, we understand the urgency of these situations and offer same-day treatment to address your dental emergencies promptly and effectively.
What to Expect During a Dental Emergency Visit
Upon arrival at Peoria Dentistry, our team will:
Assess Your Condition : An initial oral examination and digital X-rays will be performed to pinpoint the problem area.
Address Pain : Immediate steps will be taken to alleviate any pain you are experiencing.
Discuss Treatment Options : We'll clearly explain the findings and discuss your treatment options, which may include procedures like extractions, crown placement, filling replacements, or root canal therapy.
How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies
Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Apply a cold compress to manage swelling.
Broken Tooth: Save all pieces of the tooth and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Visit us immediately for repair.
Tooth Knocked Out: Try to place the tooth back in its socket, or preserve it in a container of whole milk and come to our office as quickly as possible.
Lost Filling: Use sugarless gum or over-the-counter dental cement as a temporary solution until you can see us.
Loose Crown: If possible, try to reposition the crown temporarily and contact us for a permanent solution.
Dental Abscess: Rinse your mouth with a mild saline solution several times a day and schedule an appointment immediately to prevent further infection.
