There are four general steps you should plan to take when faced with a dental emergency:

  • Step 1: Call our office. A member of our team will work quickly to schedule a same-day appointment for you or your loved one so that you can get the help you need right away. In the meantime, we’ll offer tips to ensure your mouth does not sustain further damage.
  • Step 2:Receive a dental exam. Dr. Sara or Dr. Roxana will begin to examine the problem area of your smile and look at digital images to determine the reason for your dental emergency.
  • Step 3: Wait for the dentist to analyze their findings. Once all important information is collected, your emergency dentist will analyze their findings to develop a personalized treatment plan. They will review the plan with you to ensure you are comfortable with the recommended form of treatment.
  • Step 4: Receive essential treatment. We will begin to help you out of pain while also addressing the injured area. This might mean using antibiotics, a dental filling, a custom dental crown, root canal treatment, or even tooth extraction.

Toothaches  

Is My Toothache a Dental Emergency? It’s possible! That’s why we advise against taking the “wait and see” approach. Instead, we recommend contacting our team at Nikfar Family Dental so we can learn more about your symptoms, including how long they’ve persisted, to assess the urgency of the situation.

How You Should Handle a Toothache: Fortunately, there are a few ways you can temporarily alleviate your discomfort, including taking OTC pain medication as directed. It’s also important to avoid doing anything that could exacerbate your symptoms, like eating spicy foods or drinking ice-cold water.

How We Treat Toothaches: We offer several restorative treatments at our office, including same-day dental crowns. Once we complete a comprehensive oral exam, pinpoint the root of the problem, and assess the severity of the damage, we can share which one we recommend. Then, we can create your custom treatment plan and get to work restoring your healthy, pain-free smile.

Chipped Teeth  

Is a Chipped Tooth a Dental Emergency? Sometimes! For instance, if the chip is severe enough that you’re experiencing considerable sensitivity, discomfort, or pain, then this dental injury absolutely warrants an emergency visit.

How You Should Handle a Chipped Tooth: First, we recommend collecting the broken pieces of your tooth in a small container, rinsing your mouth gently with clean, room-temperature water, and covering the sharp edge with sugar-free gum. It’s also important to stick to soft foods, like plain yogurt and cottage cheese, to prevent your tooth from breaking further.

How We Treat Chipped Teeth: Usually, small chips are fixed with dental bonding. More substantial ones, on the other hand, often require a custom veneer. Rest assured, your emergency dentist in Orlando will discuss all of your treatment options once you arrive at our office.

Cracked Tooth  

Is a Cracked Tooth a Dental Emergency? Yes, a cracked tooth is considered a dental emergency. In fact, even if you can’t see the damage, but you’re experiencing common warning signs, like dental sensitivity, we recommend getting in touch with us.

How You Should Handle a Cracked Tooth: It’s crucial that you don’t chew on that side of your mouth, especially with hard pretzels, popcorn, and other crunchy foods. It’s also best to rinse your mouth periodically with clean, room-temperature water, stick to a soft foods diet, and take OTC pain medication as directed to temporarily alleviate any discomfort that you’re experiencing.

How We Treat Cracked Teeth: Ideally, we will be able to restore the look, health, and strength of your tooth with a custom dental crown. If we can’t because it has been damaged beyond the point of repair, then we will need to perform an extraction and replace it with either a dental bridge or a dental implant.
