Emergency Dental Services

Emergency Dental Services We Offer

There are numerous dental experiences that are best resolved by going immediately to our emergency dentist office.

Among the emergency dentistry services we can provide, we offer treatment for:

• Severe tooth/gum pain: While occasional tooth sensitivity is common, sudden or worsening tooth pain can indicate an issue that should be diagnosed and resolved immediately.
• Infected and/or swollen gums: Your gums should be pink and healthy, not swollen or showing signs of infection. If you have any concerns about your gums, call Inspire Dental Wellness about emergency dental services.
• Broken or chipped teeth: Did you break or chip a tooth? Getting emergency tooth pain and dental care services can help protect you from further damage and discomfort. To handle a broken tooth until your dentist appointment, avoid introducing any very hot or very cold food or beverages into your mouth if possible to minimize discomfort. Rinse with salt water routinely to keep your mouth clean.
• Abscessed teeth: When your gums and other soft oral structures start to swell around your tooth, you may have an abscess. Getting your abscess treated can relieve your immediate discomfort and potentially save the health of your teeth.
• Loose fillings: A loose filling can leave you with a highly sensitive tooth due to the exposure of internal pulp and nerves. An emergency dentist can restore your tooth quickly.
• Lost crowns: Like a loose filling, a lost crown can make eating or speaking uncomfortable. It can also facilitate bacterial growth in sensitive parts of your teeth.

In many cases, failing to treat a serious oral problem can make the situation worse, which is why getting in contact with us as soon as possible is so important. If you’re facing some kind of dental emergency in the Orland Park area, contact Inspire Dental Wellness right away!

Prevention is better than a cure as it’s better to have a tooth treated than extracted. Why? Extraction is a last resort as your natural tooth is the most stable and durable fixture, compared to prosthetic solutions.

In cases of severe, persistent bleeding or significant pain, visit your local emergency room.

Do You Need an Emergency Dentist?

Should you go to an urgent dentist or wait until normal business hours to deal with your unexpected dental concerns? It all depends on your symptoms. For instance, an injury to your tooth that causes it to fall out would be an emergency. Missing your regular cleaning would not be an emergency.

To help you understand situations that are not considered emergencies, check out our list below:

• A lost filling, crown or bridge
• Minor chips or cracks
• A damaged night guard or retainer
• A dull toothache
