What is Same Day Dental Care?

At Medford Main Street Dental P.C., we prioritize your well-being, offering quick and efficient solutions to your dental emergencies.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue requires immediate attention, but knowing what constitutes a dental emergency can help you seek the care you need promptly. Dental emergencies typically include:
- Severe Toothache: Persistent pain that can indicate an underlying infection.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Immediate care can potentially save the tooth if treated within the first hour.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth: These can cause pain and lead to further damage if not addressed quickly.
- Dental Abscess: A serious infection that can spread if left untreated.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Injuries to your gums, lips, or tongue that result in significant bleeding or pain.
Why is Immediate Dental Care Important?
Seeking immediate dental care is crucial for several reasons. Delaying treatment can lead to more severe complications, increased pain, and more extensive and costly treatments down the line. At Medford Main Street Dental P.C., we are equipped with advanced technology and expertise to address your emergencies promptly, minimizing your discomfort and preventing further issues.
When to Contact a Dentist
Not all dental issues can wait. Severe pain, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, and dental trauma such as knocked-out or broken teeth require immediate dental attention. You should contact a dentist if you experience intense tooth pain that disrupts your daily activities, noticeable swelling that could indicate an infection, bleeding that doesn’t stop with basic first aid, or if you suffer from a knocked-out or fractured tooth. Quick action can save your tooth and alleviate pain.
What to Do if You Experience a Dental Emergency
- Remain Composed: Take a deep breath to stay calm and focused.
- Immediate Contact: Reach out to Medford Main Street Dental P.C. as soon as possible. Our team will provide instructions based on your specific emergency.
- Oral Rinse: Gently rinse your mouth with warm water to cleanse the area.
- Cold Compress Application: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to minimize swelling and alleviate pain.
- Pain Management: Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Avoid placing aspirin directly on your gums as it can cause burns.
Tooth Preservation: If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown (the visible part in the mouth) and rinse off the root without scrubbing. Try to reinsert the tooth into its socket, ensuring it’s facing the right way. If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk or a saline solution.
