Most dental emergencies are unavoidable. An accidental fall while out for a run, a fast pass during a game of football, or losing control of your bike can all lead to chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth that require immediate attention. Instead of worrying about how you’ll get the help you need, you can call our Parma dental office and request a same-day appointment with an emergency dentist. Our team will identify a time for you to come in and see Dr. Tony or Dr. Judy so that we can eliminate the pain and restore your smile without delay.

  • Schedule an Emergency Appointment: You’ll need to call our office to let a member of our team know what happened. Based on the details you provide, we will determine when you should come in, whether that’s immediately or at your earliest convenience.
  • Receive a Complete Examination: After capturing X-rays of your mouth, we will carefully examine the problem area to determine how much damage has occurred.
  • Review a Proposed Treatment Plan: Once we compile our findings, we will develop a proposed treatment plan that we will review with you during your appointment.
  • Restore Your Smile: If the problem can be addressed on the same day, we will begin the process of treating the issue. If you require more complex care, we may suggest that you come back at a later date, all while ensuring you are out of pain and have what you need to manage the problem while at home.

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Our dental team can treat all types of dental emergencies. While you might think your problem is not serious or does not require professional assistance, we encourage you to review the details of each injury listed below and call us if you have any questions.

Toothaches  

Is My Toothache a Dental Emergency? Although scheduling an appointment before the end of the week usually suffices, there are some cases where we recommend same-day care, including if there is a pimple-like bump on your gums. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to call. Once we know more about your symptoms, we can determine if you’d benefit from an emergency exam.

How You Should Handle a Toothache To alleviate your symptoms in the short-term, we recommend not chewing on that side of your mouth, avoiding spicy and sugary foods, rinsing with warm saltwater periodically, using a cold compress, and taking OTC pain medication as directed.

How We Treat Toothaches At your appointment, Dr. Tony or Dr. Judy will learn all about your symptoms, take a look at your latest X-rays, and complete a visual exam. Then, they can share their findings and review your treatment options.

Cracked Tooth  

Is a Cracked Tooth a Dental Emergency? Yes! So, don’t wait – call our emergency dentist in Parma ASAP to schedule a consultation.

How You Should Handle a Cracked Tooth Calling us to schedule an emergency appointment is crucial. It’s also important to do what you can to prevent the damage from getting worse, like not chewing on that side of your mouth and eating only extremely soft foods, like plain yogurt.

How We Treat Cracked Teeth Fortunately, cracked teeth can often be saved. That said, if your tooth is damaged beyond the point of repair, we have good news: we can painlessly remove it before replacing it with a custom dental bridge or implant.

Chipped Teeth  

Is a Chipped Tooth a Dental Emergency? The answer depends largely on your symptoms. For example, if you’re dealing with considerable sensitivity or discomfort, you should call us right away so we can get an emergency appointment on the calendar.

How You Should Handle a Chipped Tooth Rinsing your mouth gently with clean, room-temperature water will help remove small shards of your tooth, food particles, and other debris. When you’re done, we recommend placing some sugar-free gum over your tooth to help prevent the sharp edge from cutting the soft tissue in your mouth.

How We Treat Chipped Teeth That depends on several factors, including the size of the chip. Rest assured, Dr. Tony and Dr. Judy will review your treatment options, share their recommendations, and answer any questions you have during your visit. That way, you feel completely confident with everything from the price to the treatment process moving forward.
