Our Emergency Dental Services
Dental emergencies can be painful and disruptive, and they require immediate attention. We offer emergency dental care for a range of urgent conditions at Smiles on Elston, to ensure you receive prompt relief when you need it most.
A dental emergency is any situation that causes severe pain, bleeding, or puts your teeth at risk. Common dental emergencies treated at our Chicago dental office include:
Severe Toothache
If you're suffering from a severe or persistent toothache, we'll quickly assess the cause of your pain, which could range from an infection to a cavity. Emergency treatment for a toothache may include pain relief, antibiotics, a dental filling, or root canal therapy, depending on the diagnosis.
Knocked-out, Broken or Fractured Tooth
Time is critical when it comes to saving a knocked-out or broken tooth. For a knocked-out tooth, we'll attempt to reimplant the tooth if possible. If reimplantation isn't viable, we'll discuss options like dental implants or bridges. For patients facing a broken or fractured tooth, we'll evaluate the extent of the damage and provide immediate pain relief. Treatment may involve bonding, dental veneers, crowns, or extraction, depending on the severity of the fracture.
Abscessed Tooth
A dental abscess is a serious infection requiring immediate attention. Our team will gently drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics and, if needed, may perform emergency root canal therapy to completely eliminate the infection.
Lost Dental Filling or Crown
We'll clean the area and provide a temporary filling or dental crown to protect the tooth. A new, custom-made restoration will be created and placed as soon as possible.
Severe Gum Bleeding
If you've suffered severe periodontal bleeding, we'll first perform an exam to determine the cause, including gum disease or trauma. Treatment may involve deep cleaning, antibiotics, or other periodontal therapies.
