Once you’re at the point of saying, “I have a dental emergency,” your situation is immediate. Though dental emergencies come in varying levels of urgency, make an emergency course of action prior to the incident. Being well prepared is a great idea. You have an action plan if there is a medical emergency in your family. Your family practices fire drills. A discussion of what to do in the event of an emergency is good preparedness. If you have a dental emergency, contact Lovett Dental Vintage Park today by calling 832-843-6776.
Can A Dental Emergency Be Dangerous?
Dental emergencies can be extremely painful. Once you say, “I have a dental emergency,” it is generally because you are in pain or you have severely injured a tooth. Some common dental emergencies injuries include: tooth loss, filling or crown loss, cracking teeth, or an abscess. The Mayo Clinic advises that you should seek emergency dental treatment if you have an abscess.
An abscess is an infection in your tooth that has reached the pulp. Bacteria have invaded the dental pulp and is causing painful inflammation. This infection can travel to other parts of your body quickly, so it is necessary to act quickly. Lovett Dental Vintage Park has emergency services for every emergency. Calling Lovett Dental Vintage Park directly gives you access to an emergency number 24 hours, seven days a week. If you feel that the pain is too severe, you can always go to your local hospital’s emergency room.
How Do I Get To Treatment?
Don’t wait – getting to treatment is as easy as making the assessment of your emergency and then seeking help.”I have a dental emergency. Can I drive?” This depends upon the severity of the situation. Have a loved one accompany you if you are too ill to drive. Lovett Dental Vintage Park staffers see walk-in patients on a daily basis. Call first to make certain that you will be accommodated. If necessary, you can go to your local emergency room to treat your dental emergency. Severe abscesses cannot wait. If you have a high fever, the swelling is rapidly increasing, and you are in severe pain, you must seek treatment right away.
