Have you ever experienced some sort of medical or dental emergency and put off treatment because you didn’t want to seem overdramatic or you assumed you might be overreacting?
We see this all the time with our patients in Rochester, MN.
When people come to Northwest Dental Group for restorative treatment, so many of them tell us they started noticing symptoms, or suffered an oral injury, a day or two prior but weren’t sure if what they were experiencing really qualified as an emergency.
But we never want our patients to suffer! If you’re in pain or have fractured a tooth, we want you to come to us right away for help.
There are certain things that can happen with your teeth and gums that just can’t wait!
3 Dental Problems That Need Immediate Attention!
Here are three specific dental problems that require immediate attention from you and your Rochester emergency dentist:
*Tooth Pain*
Some of the most common sources of tooth pain are infections inside a tooth, decay and cavities, or inflamed, irritated gums caused by periodontal infection.
Regardless, pain anywhere in your body is nature’s way of telling you there’s a problem, so when it’s coming from your mouth, you should treat it with the same seriousness that you would any other type of pain.
Visit your Rochester dentist for emergency dental treatment. We’ll find the source of your tooth pain and treat it right away so you can find relief and preserve your oral health.
*Missing Teeth*
You obviously want to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible because, as good as replacement teeth are these days, nothing is better than the real thing.
But if you lose a tooth because of some sort of accident or injury, we can provide a lifelike, durable restoration, like a same-day dental crown, to replace it fast!
You definitely don’t want to put off replacing a missing tooth because once a tooth is gone, your jawbone starts to deteriorate quickly, which compromises the structural integrity of your surrounding teeth. A knocked-out tooth isn’t the sort of dental problem that can wait!
*Damaged Teeth*
Just because a tooth is damaged doesn’t mean it’s a goner!
We make every effort to save your natural teeth whenever possible. Our restorative dentistry services will often include the solution you need to repair a decayed or fractured tooth right there on the spot.
If you’ve injured a tooth, don’t waste any time wondering if you should visit the dentist. Use a cold compress and take over-the-counter medication to manage any pain or swelling, and head to Northwest Dental Group so we can preserve your tooth as quickly as possible!
