Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, whether it’s a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or an injury to your mouth. At Pelican Dental, we understand the urgency of these situations, which is why we offer same-day emergency appointments to get you out of pain and back to comfort quickly.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any oral health problem that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Delaying care can lead to more severe issues and higher treatment costs.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Veneers can completely transform the look of your smile by covering discoloration, chips, gaps, and irregularly shaped teeth.
- Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or sudden pain may indicate infection or decay.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Injuries can expose sensitive nerves or affect your ability to chew.
- Knocked-Out tooth: Acting quickly may save your tooth, call us immediately.
- Lost or Damaged Fillings and Crowns: Broken restorations can leave teeth unprotected.
- Abscesses or Infections: Swelling, fever, or severe pain could indicate a serious infection that needs prompt care.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or tears to lips, gums, or tongue that won’t stop bleeding.
