Common Dental Emergencies

Severe Toothache

Severe toothache can be a sign of an underlying problem, such as decay, abscess, or infection. Ignoring pain can lead to severe complications. Hessville Smiles Dentist strives to identify the root cause of your pain and offer the best treatment for your situation.

Knocked Out Teeth

Time is critical if you have knocked a tooth out. Rinse it gently, and then try to put the tooth back into its socket. Avoid touching the root. If this is not possible, you can keep the tooth moist by placing it in a container with milk or saliva. Hessville Smiles Dentist can provide instructions and emergency treatment. The chances of saving a tooth are significantly increased if you act quickly.

Loose or Dislodged Teeth

Trauma can cause a tooth to become dislodged. If your tooth is loose, you must seek immediate treatment. Dr. Umar Haque will reposition and stabilize it to avoid further damage, increasing the chances of saving it. Please contact our office immediately for assistance.

Dental Abscess

An abscess in the mouth can be a serious infection. It can cause severe pain, swelling, and pus. Untreated, the infection can spread to other areas of the body, causing severe health problems. Hessville Smiles Dentist's team will treat the abscess immediately to eliminate the infection and restore oral hygiene.

Broken or Cracked Teeth

A cracked or broken tooth is susceptible to infection and further damage. Dr. Umar Haque will assess the extent of the problem and recommend the best treatment. This may include bonding, crowns, or, in more severe cases, extraction. It is important to seek immediate treatment to avoid complications.

Damaged Dental Work

It is vital to repair a lost filling or crown as soon as possible to avoid further damage. Hessville Smiles Dentist offers its services in repairing damaged dental work.

Oral Cavity Injuries or Bleeding Gums

Due to the abundance of blood vessels in this area, injuries to the gums and other soft tissues may result in excessive bleeding. If bleeding persists, treat your situation as a dental emergency and seek immediate help.
