Emergency Dental Care for Optimal Oral Health
If you’re experiencing a toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or any other dental emergency, contact our office to schedule the next available appointment. Urgent cases receive priority, and most cases can be the seen same-day. We also open early or stay later, and in the unfortunate event of a dental emergency that cannot wait, we even open our practice on weekends.
The office of Dr. Stein is a reliable and flexible option for you and your family. We treat the following emergency conditions:
- Tooth Infection
- Abscesses
- Missing Front Teeth
- Trauma Injuries
Keep in mind that any time your teeth cause you prolonged pain, you should visit a dental practice as soon as possible.
How to Stay Prepared for a Dental Emergency
One of the best ways to stay prepared for a dental emergency, or any emergency for that matter, is by creating an emergency kit.
Your dental emergency kit should include pain-management tools like oral analgesics or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, are great for dental pain because they don’t thin the blood like aspirin, thus preventing excessive bleeding. It’s good to be prepared for bleeding, too, with gauze and cotton balls.
Your kit should also include tooth-saving tools, like temporary dental cement or save-a-tooth kits. Dental cement holds your filling or crown in place until you can have it reattached. Save-a-tooth kits include a container filled with a tooth-preserving solution that allows the tooth to remain healthy for up to 24 hours.
Lastly, be sure to keep Dr. Stein’s number handy in the event of a dental emergency.
