We provide emergency dental care in Springfield, IL, for patients with pain, swelling, or an oral health situation threatening their teeth or well-being. This is a broad definition, but some of the most common dental emergencies include:
- Toothaches and increased sensitivity
- Jaw and facial swelling
- Broken tooth or restoration
- Lost tooth or restoration
- Oral injury
Of course, there are too many scenarios to consider them all. So, always call our dental team if you have an oral health issue that is not improving. A trained team member can assess your symptoms and inform you how to proceed.
Rest assured, we will not leave you in pain.
Your Emergency Dental Appointment
We work to treat patients on the same day and set aside time in the schedule to do so. When you come in, our priority is to assess your symptoms, diagnose the problem, and start treatment.
Most of the time, we can complete treatment on the same day, but specific procedures require two appointments—for example, root canal therapy.
However, we will always stabilize your emergency and provide pain management before you leave our dental office.
Lowering Your Risks for Dental Emergencies
Most dental emergencies are toothaches requiring root canal therapy. To lower your risks for tooth infections, brush and floss daily and see your dentist regularly for checkups and teeth cleanings.
You can lower your risks for oral injuries by wearing face gear or a mouthguard when competing in sports.
And always call our dental office if you notice a symptom that worsens or does not improve after a few days.
