If you have ever had a toothache, you know it can be very
painful. And in some instances a toothache can be considered a dental
emergency. To complicate matters more, there may be some symptoms of a
toothache that cause you to wonder whether or you should see a physician or
a dentist. Events like a knocked out tooth or other
injury of the mouth can often be resolved quickly if you see a dentist.
Are there emergency dentists? Whether you know it or not, it most
likely is your very own family dentist. Many dentists offer emergency
hours and on call services for dental
emergencies. If not, you may be able to find a clinic that specializes in
emergency dentistry. These facilities are open 24 hours a day just for
emergencies. Either way, you can be assured that you can find help when you need it.
Most likely, if you visit a physician for your dental emergency, he
will give you medication to help you over a period of time until you can see a
dentist. Obviously, a dentist can
prescribe pain medication just like a physician. So it may be faster and timelier if you see a
dentist in the first place. If you are in pain, you probably don’t want
to waste the extra time (and money) it would take to see a physician
first. Obviously, if you have an injury that is causing your dental
emergency, make sure it is not life threatening before you choose between a
physician and a dentist.
If you have a toothache, abscess, root canal problems, broken or
chipped tooth, knocked out tooth, swollen gums, broken dentures, decayed tooth
roots, loose crowns, lost fillings, wisdom teeth problems or pain in the mouth
or gums, know you can contact a dentist.
We are more than happy to assist you in evaluating these types of
situations. In 2012 we added endodontic
and periodontic experienced dentists to our practice, i.e. root canals and
extractions.
