You can never foresee a dental emergency, so it is critical to recognise what requires emergency attention to best protect your oral health. If you or someone you know is experiencing severe pain or has been injured, contact an Emergency Dentist in Wheaton. Restoration Dental Group is the team you can depend on for your family’s oral health needs.
The major sign you need emergency dental care is if your tooth is causing you extreme pain and over-the-counter pain medication isn’t working. That possibility could be an infection, an abscess or deep decay that must be treated right away. The more you pay attention to the pain, the worse and costlier it becomes to fix.
Another is swelling in the gums, jaw or face, all signs that you’re carrying an infection. Swelling can progress quickly and affect other parts of your body if not treated promptly. Once you make it in to see us here at Restoration Dental Group, we won’t waste any time treating you to stop the infection.
You may have another reason to get to the dentist sooner if you lose a tooth or break it first. Quick action can sometimes save the tooth, especially if you bring it to your appointment right away. Here at Restoration Dental Group, our team of expert dentists can guide you on what to do next to try and keep your tooth alive.
Unstoppable bleeding in the mouth is another time-sensitive issue. From injuries or gum disease to recent dental work, persistent bleeding is not something to be taken lightly. A Wheaton emergency dentist can stop the bleeding and the reason for it.
And if you have a jaw pain that comes out of nowhere and you cannot open and close your mouth, or you have trouble moving your jaw side to side, this can signal a more serious issue with your teeth or your joints.
