Why Emergency Dental Care?

Dental problems can be painful, especially when you have a dental emergency or the pain comes on suddenly and acutely. Toothaches can start small and worsen quickly. Accidents can happen at any time. We often face dental care emergencies at times when finding an open dental office in Pennsylvania is challenging, including after business hours, late at night, and over the weekend. 

No matter when an emergency happens, it's essential to take care of it as soon as possible.

What to Expect

BeforeTreatment

If you have a dental emergency, call us. We can see emergencies same-day and are open evenings and on weekends. If you are in pain before the visit, try and reduce your pain as much as possible by taking pain medication or an anti-inflammatory drug to reduce swelling, pain, or fever or applying pressure and gauze to stop bleeding, if applicable. 

DuringTreatment

The length of your visit depends on what you are being seen for. Some emergencies can be resolved in a matter of hours, while others may take a longer amount of time  and multiple visits to treat. Here are some of the most common dental emergencies: 

  • Chipped, cracked, or missing teeth
  • Tooth or gum abscess
  • Toothache
  • Mouth pain
  • Bitten/cut tongue or cheek
  • Broken wires or brackets on braces
  • Jaw pain and other dental emergencies

Regardless of what you are being seen for, you will be taken care of in the best way possible. By the end of your visit, you should have relief from some, if not all, of your pain.

AfterTreatment

Always follow up with your emergency dentist in Pennsylvania to ensure that no further treatment is needed after you are seen for a visit. Follow any preventative care, precautionary procedures, or post-care instructions given by your dentist to ensure that you don't have any further problems. If  any problems arise, contact us as soon as possible.

Your First Visit

Your first visit will depend on what you are being seen for. While some dental emergencies can be fixed in less than an hour, others may require more time. We will always try to fix any dental emergency as best as possible in a convenient, comfortable, and affordable way.
