COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES
DENTAL NEEDS SHREWSBURY, PAHere are the most common treatments and services provided by our emergency dentist
TOOTHACHES
A simple toothache from a broken or dislodged crown or bridge, a deep cavity, sensitive gums, or a chipped tooth is typically the least severe among dental emergencies. If your pain is manageable, you may not need to see us right away. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Haywood at your earliest convenience and he’ll perform an evaluation and then determine treatment for your toothache.
CRACKED TOOTH OR FILLING
A severe cracked tooth or filling can be very painful and usually requires immediate attention. A cracked tooth may be horizontal or vertical in nature and can often extend into the nerve. A horizontal fracture can oftentimes be treated with restorative procedures, but a vertical fracture typically splits the tooth down the middle and may require the tooth to be extracted. If this is the case, the patient can explore our solutions, such as dental implants or a variety of dental bridges to replace the extracted tooth. If you’re experiencing a cracked tooth or filling, it’s important to contact our Shrewsbury office right away.
ACUTE TMJ DISORDERS
Acute TMJ disorders are focused around the jaw joints and muscles that make the jaw function properly. TMJ can cause severe migraines, excruciating tooth pain, insomnia, neck pain, and cervical pain. This disorder can negatively affect the entire holistic wellness of the patient. TMJ pain is complicated by stress and is a complex syndrome with many contributing factors. Once we know your story, we can diagnose TMJ dysfunction and propose reasonable medication treatments, orthotics, and lifestyle changes. Jaw locked open or jaw locked closed should be considered a relative dental emergency, so please call our dental practice immediately and schedule an appointment.
FACIAL TRAUMA
Facial trauma can be the most frightening dental emergency a patient can experience. If you’re faced with a knocked-out tooth, it should be placed in milk to preserve it while you make your way directly to our office for treatment. In facial trauma cases, Dr. Haywood advises you to reach out to our team right away. In addition to knocked-out teeth, facial trauma also includes chipping a tooth or breaking your jaw. If a broken jaw is suspected, an immediate dental emergency appointment is needed so Dr. Haywood can perform a dental CT scan. Athletic injuries, car accidents, and personal injuries of all kinds may have implications away from the immediate trauma site. In every case, a full evaluation will be needed. In most facial trauma cases, we’re able to handle them in our office or in an outpatient setting. If you’ve experienced facial trauma, contact our dental team immediately and we’ll get you in as soon as possible.
