Treatment for Dental Emergencies
At Rugby Dental Arts, our dental team is skilled and experienced in caring for patients in a wide variety of urgent conditions. We offer emergency treatment for:
- Dislodged teeth. An injury to the mouth can result in a tooth being pushed into the socket. Traumatic dental injuries such as this can be addressed with our dental team and may require root canal treatment and medication.
- Avulsed teeth. Avulsed teeth are teeth knocked out of the socket that must be reattached without delay to restore the smile. The tooth is put back into the socket and reattached but is only successful if done within hours of being knocked out. If you've suffered a knocked-out tooth, contact us for emergency care right away!
- Lost or broken dental restorations. In some instances, the loss of a dental restoration such as a dental crown or filling can leave a tooth exposed and susceptible to infection. We advise our patients to contact us right away if they need a lost restoration to be reattached or replaced.
- Severe tooth infections. Patients who have an infection or painful dental abscess may experience a painful toothache that requires the assistance of a dentist to treat. Treatment may include the need for endodontic therapy (root canal) to remove the infection and restore the tooth. Emergency root canal therapy is often performed to eliminate the need for permanent removal of a tooth.
