A dental emergency involves any situation that requires immediate attention to save a tooth, stop bleeding, or relieve severe pain. If you are unsure whether your issue qualifies as an emergency, it’s best to err on the side of caution and contact our office. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe toothache: Persistent, intense pain that doesn’t go away with over-the-counter painkillers may indicate an underlying issue such as infection, decay, or abscess.
• Broken or cracked tooth: Teeth can crack or break due to trauma, biting on hard objects, or dental decay. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent further damage or infection.
• Knocked-out tooth: If a tooth is knocked out, time is critical. The best chance for saving the tooth is to see a dentist within one hour of the incident.
• Lost filling or crown: If a filling or crown comes loose or falls out, it can leave the tooth exposed to decay or infection.
• Gum or oral tissue injury: Cuts or injuries to the gums, cheeks, lips, or tongue may require immediate care to control bleeding and prevent infection.

At Model Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies can be stressful and painful. Our team of highly skilled professionals, including Dr. Lucy Raborn and Dr. Ryan Wise, is here to provide fast relief and expert care.

This advanced approach eliminates the need for temporary restorations and follow-up appointments, providing faster and more convenient care.
