The Dental Emergencies We See Most
Toothaches
A toothache can be debilitating when it hits. Often that severe tooth pain points to an infection, a deep cavity, or a cracked tooth demanding immediate attention. We pinpoint the cause and deliver effective pain relief, frequently in the same visit.
Root Canal Therapy
By clearing away the damaged tissue inside, a root canal rescues a severely infected or decayed tooth. Watch for swelling, sensitivity to temperature, and severe throbbing pain. Comfortable and effective, modern root canal treatment is often the best way to save your natural tooth.
When a Tooth Is Broken, Damaged, or Lost
Tooth Extractions
Once a tooth is too damaged to save, tooth extraction brings immediate pain relief and stops the spread of infection. Modern anesthetics and Dr. Brammeier's experience have made extractions far less painful than they used to be, with many patients reporting little or no discomfort. If you tend to feel nervous, calming sedation keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Traumatic Injuries
Immediate attention matters when a tooth is knocked out, dislodged, or partially pushed in. Trained to reposition, stabilize, and treat injured teeth, Dr. Brammeier can often save the tooth when you act quickly.
Cracked Teeth
A crack or fracture may appear suddenly after trauma or build slowly over time from grinding and biting forces. Some bring severe pain while others stay painless. After locating the crack and gauging its severity, Dr. Brammeier recommends the best course of action, and many can be treated with root canal therapy.
In a dental emergency, time matters. Call us now for same-day care.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (top), never by the root
- If it's dirty, rinse the tooth gently with water, but do not scrub or remove tissue
- Ease the tooth back into the socket and bite on a cloth to hold it in place
- Can't reinsert it? Place the tooth in milk or saliva to keep it moist
- Get to our office within 30 minutes, since arriving sooner improves the chance of saving the tooth
Severe Toothache or Swelling
- Swish warm salt water around your mouth to help reduce bacteria
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, but never rest aspirin directly on the gum
- Hold a cold compress against the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling
- Keep heat away from the affected area
- Call us immediately, since pain and swelling together often signal an infection that needs prompt treatment
