EMERGENCY DENTISTRY
URGENT DENTAL RELIEF
At Blooming Dental, we understand dental emergencies can occur at any time, and we're here to respond quickly. Whether it’s a simple filling or more complex treatment, our team is ready to assist you. If you have an emergency outside our working hours, our answering service will notify our dentists immediately.
Common reasons for emergency visits include accidents and toothaches. If you experience a toothache or have a knocked-out or cracked tooth, contact us right away. Immediate care is crucial, especially for knocked-out teeth, which can be preserved by placing them back in the socket, holding them between gums and lip, or keeping them in a glass of milk. For life-threatening emergencies, head to the emergency room.
PREVENTION
To prevent dental emergencies, treat your teeth with care and avoid destructive habits like nail-biting or chewing hard objects. A diet avoiding hard and sticky candies or ice can protect your teeth. Athletes should wear proper mouthguards, which can be custom-fitted by us for better protection. Bring your mouthguard to dental visits for adjustments.
Regular checkups and cleanings are vital in preventing emergencies, allowing us to catch potential issues early. Our expert team at Blooming Dental is also available to provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices. Investing in preventive care is the best way to avoid dental emergencies and maintain optimal oral health.
At Blooming Dental, our office stays open late and on Saturdays to accommodate your urgent needs.
