Emergencies are inevitable and can be stressful situations. At DMD Dental, our team can ensure you get the care you need in a timely manner.
What is Emergency Care?
Dental emergencies require immediate care from a dentist. Dental emergencies typically include:
- Injury or trauma to the teeth or jaw
- Infection
- Severe swelling
- Severe pain
- Fever
- Chips, cracks, or lost teeth
- Damage or dislocation of a restoration
These events and symptoms should prompt an immediate visit to our office for treatment.
What are the Benefits of Emergency Care?
Dental care is not typically available at a general emergency center or urgent care facility. A dentist can treat emergency concerns and help preserve your teeth and oral health with specialized treatment. Dr. Du Mond can perform emergency surgeries or treatments to ensure the integrity of your teeth as well as perform restorative treatments quickly.
What Can I Expect From Emergency Care?
Dr. Du Mond will meet with you as soon as possible in the event of a dental emergency. She will examine your mouth and discuss your symptoms, using X-rays or scans to determine the cause. She may recommend pursuing further emergency care or discussing your options for restorative treatments. Emergency care can be stressful, and our team will take steps to ensure you feel informed and comfortable.
The Emergency Care Process and Beyond
Dental emergencies often require ongoing care from Dr. Du Mond. She will check in regularly to assess your health and ensure you remain healthy. She can also recommend ways to prevent emergencies in the future, such as mouthguards to prevent injuries and periodontitis treatment to prevent infection. She will provide a comprehensive picture of your ongoing care.
