Emergency Dental Care

The Dental Emergencies We Treat

At Maple Creek Dental, we see and treat all kinds of dental emergencies. From a broken tooth to oral infections, we can help you get through any pain or problem.

Lost or Broken Tooth

A knocked-out or broken tooth is a typical emergency and can happen to anyone. How you react in a time when your tooth is damaged can make a huge difference in saving the tooth. Before you track down the tooth, make sure to check for other injuries such as concussion.

If you manage to find the broken tooth, pick it up by the top and not the bottom. Please place it in a cup of water or milk and add a pinch of salt. Don’t try to clean the tooth or put it back in its original location. If you experience pain or toothache, place several ice cubes in a towel and press it to your face to minimize swelling until you teach our dental office.

Tooth Sensitivity

Sometimes our teeth become more sensitive due to tooth fracture or gum infection. While minor sensitivity does not require emergency care, our dental experts will want to take a look at your teeth, especially if one of them is causing you pain. Our emergency dentists will inspect your teeth thoroughly and give you antibiotics to relieve the pain.

Swollen Gums or Jaw

A swollen jaw or gums can indicate a severe infection. If your gums are bleeding and your jaw is inflamed, you should seek emergency dental care in Springville, UT, immediately. One of the reasons for a swollen jaw is salivary gland infection, which can cause severe problems to your teeth and oral health.

Lost or Cracked Crown

Dental crowns are put into place to restore your teeth and bring your beautiful smile back. Losing a dental crown or missing a filling requires you to act fast. Try to protect the tooth to ensure that your dentist will have something to refill.

If your mouth starts to taste strange (like metal), it can signify that your filling has become loose. If you notice any symptoms, it is essential to seek emergency dental care as an open filling can leave your mouth prone to bacteria and infections. The professional dentists at Maple Creek Dental will welcome you, inspect the problem, clear out any bacteria, and provide you with a new filling or crown.

Toothaches.

With emergency dental care, we see a lot of Utah patients that are suffering from a major toothache. This is a top reason that people seek out care right away instead of waiting for Monday or for the dentist to open in the morning. When a toothache strikes it can be debilitating and we can provide relief. The good news is that it does not have to be. At Maple Creek Dental, we have found that most toothaches do not happen without warning. Typically, there are signs that can include discomfort when biting down, sensitivity to heat or cold, irritation when brushing or flossing, etc. If you sense any of these things, we encourage you to call (801) 489-6811 and schedule an appointment for a dental exam. We can examine your teeth, look for any signs of infection or decay and treat the problem before you go from moderate discomfort to a raging toothache. Our friendly Springville staff can work with you to schedule an appointment that fits within your schedule so that you have no reason to delay in seeking treatment. However, if you do not come in right away and do develop a bad toothache, we want to see you.

One of the common reasons for a bad toothache is severe decay or an infection. To resolve this issue, we may need to perform a root canal. We can do this while providing you with emergency dental care. Since the discomfort is caused by the infection, removing it will help you to feel better right away. First, we will numb the area and provide you with anesthesia and then create a small hole in your tooth so that the infected portion of it can be removed. Once done, the area will be cleaned before it is sealed. We will do everything available to safely ensure that the procedure is comfortable. After we finish the procedure, you will begin to feel significantly better than when you first came in. Sometimes it is also necessary to restore the tooth with a dental filling or crown. If this is the case we can either complete that portion of the procedure immediately or schedule a second appointment to do so.
