How do I know if it’s really an emergency?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a dental problem requires immediate assistance. The best way to determine if you need to come in right away is by calling our office and explaining the situation. If it’s something that can be taken care of at home, we can give you advice on how to treat your affliction. If your problem requires us to take a look but not necessarily right away, our team will work with you to schedule an appointment at a convenient time in the near future. If we do decide that you’re experiencing a true emergency, we will tell you to come in and start getting a treatment room ready.madisonsdish.com
What are some common dental emergencies?
There are a few dental problems that can arise that almost always require emergency dental care. These include:- Intense, unrelenting toothache
- Cracked or broken tooth
- Knocked out tooth
- Abscess or serious infection
- Lost dental restoration
- Uncontrollable bleeding
What if it’s not an emergency?
For certain situations like a chipped tooth or a soft-tissue injury that results in a little bleeding, you will likely want to make an appointment within a couple of days, but you don’t necessarily have to see us immediately. Because emergencies vary so much from case to case, the best thing to do will be to check with us to see what your course of action should be.
