Emergency Care

At iSmile Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies don’t adhere to a schedule. When these unexpected problems arise, we are committed to making time for you. Our dedicated team is ready to go the extra mile by staying late, shifting appointments, and focusing on getting you out of pain with our emergency dental care services.

Dental trauma, especially involving a lost tooth, is a serious dental emergency. If your permanent tooth has been dislodged due to an injury, it’s crucial to act quickly. The iSmile dentists recommend the following steps:

1. Gently clean off the root of the tooth if it’s still intact.
2. Try to replace the tooth back into the socket as soon as possible, ensuring the appropriate orientation.
3. Research shows that if the tooth is replaced within 30 minutes, there is a much higher chance of preserving your original tooth.
4. If immediate replacement is not possible, store the tooth in saliva (e.g., in your cheek) or milk to keep it hydrated.
5. It’s essential to be seen by a dental professional within two hours to maximize the chances of successful reattachment.

Dental Trauma – Broken Tooth

If you experience a broken tooth and are in pain, please visit one of our iSmile Dentistry locations as soon as possible. We understand the urgency of your situation and will do our absolute best to accommodate you in that day’s schedule.

A dental abscess is a severe dental emergency that requires immediate treatment. If you have a dental swelling or suspect an abscess, it’s essential to seek prompt care. Dental abscesses can spread and become dangerous if not treated properly. At iSmile Dentistry, we prioritize your oral health and well-being, and our team is ready to provide the necessary treatment to address dental abscesses effectively.

If your gums are spontaneously bleeding, despite regular cleanings and checkups, this is considered a dental emergency. We recommend taking the following steps:

1. Visit your medical doctor immediately to check your overall health status.
2. Inform your iSmile dental office location as soon as possible about your bleeding gums.
3. Bleeding gums could be a symptom of more serious health conditions, and it’s important to address them promptly. Our dental professionals will work closely with you and your healthcare provider to ensure comprehensive care and appropriate treatment.
