what are emergency dental services?

Emergency dental services are exactly what they sound like. Dental emergencies are oral health problems that can be life-threatening or very uncomfortable. Often, treatment for them can’t wait until the next dental checkup or even the next available time slot of a general dentist.

An emergency dentist can first prescribe pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antibiotics to reduce troubling symptoms and eliminate any infection. From there, they can evaluate the situation and offer or recommend further dental treatment, like dental fillings or even tooth extraction. Some dental emergencies may need a dental specialist to come in. For example, an oral surgeon may have to deal with complex dental emergencies requiring tooth extraction. 

who can provide emergency dental services?

In most cases, a general dentist can provide emergency dental services. The only problem is that your trusted general dentist may not be available at all hours of the day. Most general dentist offices take the weekends off. When you’re dealing with a dental emergency, time is of the essence to prevent the situation from worsening. Some emergency rooms or urgent care clinics have emergency dentists as part of their staff to help patients with immediate dental care needs.

Some general dentists get additional training to help them deal with emergencies. These dentists may offer emergency dental services and specific general dental services, especially if they share facilities with other dental professionals who can take over their appointments or provide emergency services when necessary.

Nowadays, most general dentists provide emergency dental services alongside other services at their offices. Some may even be called into the ER of nearby hospitals when they’re needed.

Dntl bar is open seven days a week, and even has the option for nighttime appointments. With emergency dentists and specialists at the ready, you can find relief when you need it—no waiting in an emergency room or trying to deal with the pain on your own. 

when should you consider going to an emergency dental office?

To help you determine if you need emergency dental services, you can go through this list of questions:

  • Are you bleeding from the mouth?
  • Are you in severe pain?
  • Do you have an abscess or infection in the mouth?
  • Do you have a loose tooth?
  • Have you lost a tooth?

If you answer “yes” to even one of these questions, you should seek professional help from an emergency dentist. Remember that there are many different types of dental emergencies, which may each require different types of treatment. Be ready for not only prescription medication but also complex procedures, such as dental fillings, tooth extractions, or even root canal treatment.
