What Is The Benefit Of Coming To Clear Lake For My Dental Emergency?

Many dentists claim to have emergency service, but when you call them after you’ve broken a tooth during a pickup football game on a Saturday afternoon, you get an answering service. And then hopefully you’ll get a call back in a timely fashion. Many people go to the emergency room when that call doesn’t come. That’s not a good idea. Emergency rooms aren’t meant for dental issues; they are meant for body trauma and body injuries. It's a far better idea to call our office, as we provide on-call service for any dental emergency. This applies 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Simply call our office and our team will be contacted immediately. We view emergency dental care as just another one of our core services.

What Patients Say

How Soon After Arriving At The Office Will I Be Treated?

Our objective in emergency dentistry is to provide care right away. Dental emergencies are worked into the schedule as quickly as possible. Depending on the severity of the problem, an appointment is arranged immediately, later the same day, or within a few days. When an appointment is not immediately available or necessary, you may receive instructions to manage comfort at home until you can be seen by the dentist. Patients who are experiencing a painful dental problem are usually seen the same day and escorted to a treatment room within a few minutes of arriving at the office.

What Constitutes A Dental Emergency?

Our teeth are tough, but they aren’t indestructible. Dental emergencies can be obvious, such as if you knock a tooth out when slipping on a wet floor. Other issues such as sensitivity probably aren’t emergencies, but they could be

Some things, such as a knocked-out tooth or a broken tooth, are obvious dental emergencies. We need to see you and get that tooth back in place to have the best chance of saving it. Others aren’t obvious. For instance, facial swelling usually isn’t an emergency.

If you wonder whether your dental problem that just occurred is an emergency situation or not, call our office and talk with the on-call person. Then you’ll get an idea of the next step, whether it means you need to come in immediately or if it can wait until the next business day.


Knocked-Out Tooth

See your dentist right away to increase the chances of getting the knocked-out tooth reattached. 1. Handle the tooth with care. 2. Hold it by the top part (the crown) and gently rinse with running water. 3. Try to place the tooth back in the socket and keep it in place using a piece of gauze. 4. If it’s painful or uncomfortable to keep in the tooth socket, put the knocked-out tooth in a container of saliva or milk.

Broken, Chipped, Or Cracked Tooth

If your tooth has been broken, chipped, or cracked rinse your mouth out with warm water and apply a cold compress to your face. If you have the piece of the tooth that was chipped or broken off wrap it in a wet towel or piece of gauze and bring it in as soon as possible.

Toothache Pain

Most dental emergency cases are because of toothache or pain. This can be caused by trauma, infection, cavities, or erupting wisdom teeth. A visit to your dentist can help find the cause of the pain and lasting relief with tooth extractions, sedation dentistry, and other dental treatments. For severe and life-threatening injuries, please call 911 or, if possible, go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room. Your dentist in Webster can treat traumatic dental injuries, including lost, chipped, or knocked-out teeth as well as toothaches.

Sore Gums

Thoroughly clean around the sore area. Rinse by swishing with warm salt water and/or try to dislodge trapped food or debris from the teeth with dental floss. You can take over the counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help ease the pain until you can see us. If your face is swollen, apply a cold compress. Contact us immediately if swelling is present. In some cases, swelling can be a sign of infection and would require urgent treatment.

Bitten Lip Or Tongue

Thoroughly clean the area with a wet cloth and place a cold compress on the area to help reduce the swelling. If the bleeding continues or is to excessive go to an emergency center.

Possible Broken Jaw

Try to keep the jaw from moving by using a towel, tie or handkerchief. Get to the nearest emergency room immediately.
