Some general dentists, including our emergency dentist in Milwaukee, WI, treat dental emergencies. If you have a dental emergency, seeking care as soon as possible is crucial to ease pain and restore oral health.
Common Dental Emergencies
Toothaches are the most common dental emergencies. Typically, they result from a deep tooth infection requiring immediate treatment with your dentist.
Other dental emergencies include:
- Oral pain
- Oral swelling
- Broken tooth
- Knocked-out tooth
- Broken restoration
- Oral injury
With timely treatment, your dentist can sometimes save a knocked-out tooth. However, if a tooth cannot be saved by restoring, treating, or crowning, we’ll talk to you about tooth replacement. Replacing missing teeth is vital to your long-term oral health and confidence.
You can lower your risks for dental emergencies through regular exams and dental cleanings, brushing, and flossing. You should also talk to us about a mouthguard if you compete in athletics.
Through your dentist’s diligence and your at-home efforts, you can significantly lower your risks for tooth decay, dental infections, and oral injuries.
