Dental Emergencies Can Impact Your Overall Health
Dental emergencies are no joke. Dr. James L. Davis treats a wide range of conditions that fall under the broad umbrella of dental emergencies. Regardless of your situation, time is of the essence. No dental emergency is without potential long-term damage concerns. You should visit us if you:
- Are suffering from an abscessed tooth: If you’re suffering from chronic tooth pain, it is possible you have an abscessed tooth. This condition is caused by pus that has formed somewhere in your tooth as a result of a bacterial infection. They are extremely painful and can be life-threatening, so it is vital you visit us immediately.
- Lost a crown: We placed a crown on that tooth for a reason. If it was knocked loose, you need to see us immediately because your tooth is not strong enough without it. Neglecting the crown can weaken the structural integrity of the tooth, and potentially result in tooth loss.
- Cracked a tooth or had one knocked out: Cracked and knocked-out teeth are painful and time is of the essence. You need to visit us immediately to prevent permanent tooth loss. We can sometimes reinsert a knocked-out tooth and we have several options available to us for cracked teeth.
- Have infected gums: Infected gums are gum abscesses, and they should be taken as seriously as an abscessed tooth because your gums play a critical role in the stability of your teeth and jawline. Don’t delay. Give us a call immediately.
