Identifying Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies are concerns that greatly impede your everyday life. Whenever you are not sure whether you are dealing with a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to ask our office for assistance.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry—especially when it comes to protecting your oral health. With this in mind, here are some symptoms that suggest immediate treatment.

Broken Tooth Restoration: Broken tooth restorations such as a crown or bridge require similar assistance to damaged natural teeth. Receive immediate help from Dr. Evon.
Broken Teeth: Broken teeth can quickly spark infection around your jawline. Be sure to address tooth damage as soon as possible to avoid further pain and procedures.
Tooth/Gum Swelling: Tooth or gum swelling is a common sign of severe infection. Our root canal treatments can quickly address these issues while salvaging your smile.
Severe Pain and Discomfort: A severe toothache that makes it difficult to function can signal infection or dental damage. Call Dr. Evon right away to address this issue.

Prompt treatment is usually required to ease the pain and ensure the patient’s overall health. Listed below are some benefits of managing dental complications quickly.

Your teeth keep each other anchored together. When one tooth fails, it greatly impacts the strength of your jawline—especially the area around the damage. Treatment reduces the chance of excessive strain being placed on your teeth, which can in turn cause more damage.

As with other areas of your body, an untreated injury can fester and cause an infection. These infections can become painful and cause significant dental decay.

Neglected dental complications easily spread to other areas of your jawline. This further infection can greatly increase the amount of dental work that needs to be done later in life. Invest in your long-term care by addressing dental emergencies right when they happen.

Your teeth are the cornerstone to upkeep your general health. When your teeth fail to provide support, it can make it more difficult to maintain healthy habits.

Dental infection can additionally weaken your body’s immune system, making it more difficult to fight off general infection and disease.

Dental Emergencies Success Stories

One patient came in for emergency treatment after fracturing her tooth the night before. She was in quite a bit of discomfort, hot and cold sensitivity and her tooth was irritating her lips.

Dr. Evon was able to treat her on her day off and allow the patient to return to work that day. We bonded and built the tooth back up in the chair to make the tooth match the tooth right next to it for shape, color, and size. Our patient was happy with her results and her tooth sensitivity went away!

Reduce The Risk Of Dental Emergencies

At Three Rivers Dental, we focus on prevention-first care to keep your teeth strong and healthy, reducing the likelihood of unexpected dental emergencies. By addressing potential issues early, we help prevent small problems from turning into major ones. Here’s how you can protect your smile:

Follow a Personalized Preventive Plan: We tailor recommendations to help you maintain strong, healthy teeth and reduce your risk of future issues.
Schedule Biannual Dental Appointments: Biannual dental visits give Dr. Evon enough time to spot and treat dental infections and tooth cavities.
Use Bite or Night Guards: Patients dealing with bruxism or prone to tooth injuries can benefit from bite or night guards. Ask our team which appliance would work for you.
Manage Your Diet: Acidic and hard-to-chew foods can weaken your teeth’s ability to manage daily demands, which can lead to cracked or poor teeth.
