You must first contact a member of our team. This call will help us to determine how quickly we should see you while also allowing us to recommend helpful ways to manage the pain and avoid further harm at home. When reaching our dental office, you’ll be escorted to a treatment room to undergo digital imaging so that we can formulate a plan that indicates how we will address the injured tooth or teeth. Once you are in agreement, we will start addressing the problem area, helping you out of pain and restoring your smile to a damage-free state.

Toothaches  

Is My Toothache a Dental Emergency? The answer depends largely on the severity of your symptoms. For example, if your toothache is minor, scheduling an appointment with us before the end of the week should suffice. If, on the other hand, you’re in extreme pain, you should visit us ASAP.

How You Should Handle a Toothache Taking OTC pain medication, rinsing periodically with warm saltwater, and avoiding acidic, crunchy, and sugary foods are great first steps. The most important one, however, is scheduling an appointment with us so we can pinpoint the root of the problem and address it.

How We Treat Toothaches Oftentimes, a tooth-colored filling, a dental crown, or root canal treatment is the answer. The good news is that we offer CEREC dental crowns at our Nocatee dental office, which allows us to restore the look, health, and function of your tooth the same day.

Chipped Teeth  

Is a Chipped Tooth a Dental Emergency? Usually, no. However, there are some exceptions. If the chip is substantial, you’re in pain, or you’re experiencing any other abnormal symptoms, like persistent sensitivity, then you should absolutely schedule an emergency appointment with us.

How You Should Handle a Chipped Tooth To prevent the tooth from breaking further, we recommend sticking to extremely soft foods, like plain yogurt, and not chewing on that side of your mouth. Taking OTC pain medication, avoiding acidic foods, and drinking room-temperature water will also help.

How We Treat Chipped Teeth Veneers and cosmetic dental bonding are two common solutions. If one of your molars was chipped, then we may recommend a dental crown instead. Ultimately, we need to conduct an oral exam to determine what treatment options are available (and help you decide which one is best for you).

Cracked Tooth  

Is a Cracked Tooth a Dental Emergency? Without a doubt, a cracked tooth is a dental emergency. That’s why we recommend contacting us right away. We need to assess the damage, determine the best treatment option, and intervene with the necessary care before the crack gets larger or an infection develops.

How You Should Handle a Cracked Tooth First, call us to schedule an emergency appointment. Second, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth or touching the tooth with your finger. Third, rinse periodically with clean, room-temperature water to help prevent debris from collecting on the tooth.

How We Treat Cracked Teeth Cracked teeth can often be restored with dental crowns. If that’s the case for you, then you won’t have to deal with temporary restorations or multiple appointments because we offer same-day restorations. Of course, if we can’t save your tooth, then we will need to extract it and discuss if a dental bridge, denture, or dental implant is best for you.
