Emergency Dentistry in Doreen
It seems dental emergencies strike at the most inconvenient times, which is why we are here when you need us most. Being available is part of our Triple-A Philosophy (Availability, Accessibility, Affordability), and that counts especially if you are feeling pain.
How Do I Know If I Have a Dental Emergency?
It can be difficult to know if you are having a dental emergency or a situation that can wait until a more convenient time. If you are in pain, it is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong, so it is best to seek immediate emergency dental treatment at our Doreen dental clinic. We strive to treat painful dental emergencies on the same day, so contacting us as early as possible will allow us to accommodate your needs.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat:
- Swelling or toothache
- Broken tooth
- Avulsed (knocked-out) tooth
- Broken crown, filling or bridge
- Damaged dentures
- Painful gums
- Lost crowns, fillings, onlays, inlays, veneers and bridges
- Wisdom teeth extractions
We also treat trauma to the teeth and gums. However, if you are in an accident and have a medical emergency, it’s best to seek treatment at an emergency centre or hospital and then contact us once neck, back or head injuries have been ruled out.
Do You Treat Children’s Dental Emergencies?
Kids are full of energy and live life with abandon! This makes them prone to dental accidents. Not only do we treat kids’ dental emergencies in our Doreen dental clinic, but we also help prevent them with custom mouthguards for games and sports.
What Happens at an Emergency Dental Appointment?
Our number one goal when treating dental emergencies is to alleviate your pain and stabilise your condition. To achieve that goal, we will take a few steps.
- Review of what happened
- X-rays of the affected area
- Focused exam of the area
- Diagnosis and Consultation
For many emergency situations, we can complete your treatment in a single visit. In other cases, we may place a temporary restoration or take the first steps toward resolving the problem and arrange a follow-up exam with one of our emergency dentists at Doreen Dental Clinic.
I Am Nervous about the Dentist!
We understand that dental emergencies sometimes occur because people who have dental phobia put off their necessary treatment. We are here to provide gentle, reliable dentistry and put your fears at ease, even when it comes to necessary extraction or root canal therapy.
