Dental Emergency

Dental Emergency

There is never a good time for a dental emergency but they do happen and it’s best to be prepared by ensuring that your trusted emergency dentist is only a phone call away. Emergency dental care is required for a variety of circumstances, from sports injuries, car accidents, to accidentally biting down on something the wrong way and chipping a tooth. 

Sometimes even routine dental procedures like wisdom tooth extraction can result in unanticipated inflammation or infection, which requires a visit to an emergency dental clinic. Whatever the reason, it’s important to know who you would call for emergency dental care before you ever even need it. With any luck, you never will. 

But, if you do, we’ve got you covered — 24/7.

Call Crown Dental for Critical Care

If you suffer any sort of dental emergency, don’t wait. No matter the time, give us a call! In the event that your call comes in after hours, please leave a message and someone will get back to you right away. We mean that! After all, our dental assistant, Karen, skipped out on last year’s Sunday afternoon Patriots’ AFC championship game and rushed to the office to assist a patient in need. And she’s a serious Pats fan! 

We are committed to exceeding expectations when it comes to client care. Call us anytime — day or night — and we will do whatever it takes to treat your dental emergency as soon as possible. 

When to Call Emergency Dental Services

Not all dental emergencies arise from an immediate injury or impact with an foreign object. Some, in fact, are in the making for a while and result in painful areas of inflamed or infected tissues called abscesses. These can occur along the gum line or inside the pulp of a tooth; diagnosed as pulpal abscesses. Both are caused by a buildup of bacteria, resulting in swelling and bleeding. All abscesses need to be treated by an emergency dentist before the infection worsens. 

Other reasons requiring emergency dental care might include an automobile accident in which a tooth, or multiple teeth are chipped or knocked out. Sports injuries often result in injured teeth or gums, whether a tooth is broken or has cut into oral tissues, like the lip, tongue, or either sides of the cheek.

Not all of us are good patients and some fail to follow dentist orders, post-op. For example, following wisdom tooth extraction, it’s critical that patients refrain from smoking. Those who give into the urge might wind up suffering from a condition called dry socket, which makes it impossible for blood to clot at the site of the extraction. Granted, this can occur even in non-smokers, but smoking does increase the risk considerably. 

Don’t wait to determine where to go for emergency dental care. Contact Crown Dental today and know you have a team of experts ready to jump into action as soon as you need it.

    Important information regarding COVID-19

    To all our loyal patients,

    We hope this post finds you and your family in good health.
    Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our heathy habits and routines.

    We at Crown Dental take pride in saying that our office has ALWAYS followed infection control recommendations and guidelines.

    For the health and safety of our staff and patients, you may notice a few changes at our office.

    The following will be our new interim protocol:

    • We will be limiting the number of patients in the office.
    • If you or anyone in your family has flu-like symptoms (cough, fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, aches/pains, etc.) and/or has been in contact with a person testing positive for COVID-19, PLEASE DO NOT COME TO OUR OFFICE! Simply call and reschedule your appointment.
    • Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask a few health screening questions.
    • We will ask that you wait in your car upon arrival and a staff member will greet you there.
    • We will scan your temperature. Patients with a temperature of 100.4 or greater will not be seen for treatment and advised to speak with their physician.
    • We will ask that you use hand sanitizer prior to entering the building. We will have some at the entrance.
    • At this time we cannot allow any family members of the patient in our office while treatment is rendered.
    • For patients who must receive assistance from a spouse, caregiver or companion into the building, please notify our office before your appointment.
    • Patients are asked to wear masks into the office.

    We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding our safety protocols.

    Thank you for your continued support during this time.

    Sincerely,

    The Crown Dental Team
