What is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry involves the immediate diagnosis, treatment, and care of dental problems that require urgent attention. These issues can range from severe toothaches and broken teeth to oral infections and injuries to the mouth. Emergency dentistry in Tulsa aims to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and restore dental health as quickly as possible.
Common Dental Emergencies Include:
- Severe toothaches
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Lost or broken fillings and crowns
- Abscesses and infections
- Soft tissue injuries (lips, gums, tongue)
What are the Benefits of Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry provides several significant benefits, ensuring patients receive timely care to address urgent dental issues effectively.
Immediate Pain Relief
Dental emergencies often come with intense pain and discomfort. Our emergency dentistry services aim to provide immediate relief, helping you feel better as quickly as possible.
Prevent Further Damage
Prompt treatment can prevent a dental issue from worsening. For example, a knocked-out tooth is more likely to be saved if treated immediately. Emergency care can help preserve your natural teeth and prevent the need for more extensive treatments.
Preserve Dental Health
Addressing dental emergencies promptly can protect your overall dental health. Untreated dental problems can lead to more serious complications, such as infections that can spread to other body parts.
Reduce Anxiety
Knowing that you have access to reliable emergency dental care can reduce anxiety and stress in a dental emergency. Our team at Testa Family Dentistry is here to support you and provide the care you need when you need it most.
Our Emergency Dentistry Services
At Testa Family Dentistry, we offer a comprehensive range of emergency dentistry services to address any urgent dental issues you may encounter. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Testa and Dr. Daugherty, is equipped to handle a variety of dental emergencies with expertise and compassion.
Toothache Relief
Various issues, including cavities, infections, and gum disease, can cause severe toothaches. We will diagnose the cause of your toothache and provide appropriate treatment to relieve your pain.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
Broken or chipped teeth, whether caused by an accident or biting into something hard, need immediate attention. We offer solutions such as dental bonding, crowns, or veneers to restore the appearance and function of your teeth.
Knocked-Out Teeth
If you have a knocked-out tooth, seeking immediate care is crucial. If treated promptly, we can often re-implant the tooth. Follow these steps: keep the tooth moist, avoid touching the root, and contact us immediately.
Lost or Broken Fillings and Crowns
Lost fillings or crowns can leave your tooth vulnerable to further damage. We will replace or repair your restorations to protect your teeth and restore their function.
Abscesses and Infections
Dental abscesses and infections can be severe and require urgent treatment. We will provide antibiotics, drain abscesses, and perform necessary procedures to eliminate the infection and prevent it from spreading.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Injuries to the lips, gums, and tongue can occur due to accidents or trauma. We provide care for these injuries, including sutures if necessary, to promote healing and prevent infection.
