If you are bleeding excessively, have broken facial bones, or have suffered a serious injury to a part of your body other than your mouth, visit the local ER instead of your emergency dentist in Boca Raton. A visit to the ER may also be advisable if you have a high fever in addition to a severe toothache. Later, after you receive initial care for your problem, you can follow up with us. Wewill assess how your injuries affected your oral health and design a treatment plan to get your smile’s well-being back on track.
In some cases, you can care for your dental problem on your own for a few days without suffering any serious consequences. For example, a lost crown or a dull toothache requires prompt care, but such situations are not as urgent as a fully or partially knocked-out (avulsed) tooth. Avulsed teeth require immediate care. The sooner you receive treatment, the more likely it is that your tooth can be saved.
Regardless of what your situation is, you should phone an emergency dentist as soon as possible after your problem starts. They will provide you with expert guidance on what your next steps should be and let you know whether it is safe to delay treatment for a few days.
Our dentist is a highly experienced, which means that he is highly trained in how to create dental restorations that feel, function, and look like real teeth. In most cases, he is able to repair or replace teeth in a way that beautifully complements an individual’s natural facial characteristics and that looks completely natural.
Patient comfort is one of our top priorities. Anesthesia ensures that the area where we are working is numb. Sedation is also available for patients who require extensive treatment or who feel a bit apprehensive about undergoing dental procedures. Following your appointment, your mouth may be a little sore. However, the pain from your dental emergency will be gone. Depending on the nature of the problem that we treat, you may feel completely better within a few days to a week.
