If you have a dental emergency or severe tooth pain, you should see a Warminster dentist right away. Same-day emergency care will get you out of pain as soon as possible while preserving your smile.
Dr. Francis Dolan’s top priority as your dentist is to eliminate the source of your discomfort. The sooner you can get to one of our Warminster offices, the better.
Common Dental Emergencies
Although Dr. Dolan treats many emergency dental situations, the following are some of the most common issues we see in our office:
Toothaches
A severe toothache may indicate a more serious issue. If your pain is interfering with your normal daily activities, such as eating or going to work, you have a dental emergency and require urgent care.
Treatment for Jaw (TMJ) Pain
If you experience jaw joint pain, limited range of motion, or pain when biting and chewing, your discomfort is most likely caused by clenching or grinding your teeth. During your routine checkup, we can perform a TMJ screening and answer any questions you may have.
Broken Teeth
Broken or chipped teeth are extremely painful and must be treated right away to avoid pain, further deterioration, and infection. If you have a broken or knocked-out tooth, place it in a container of milk or saline solution and bring it with you to our office.
Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsion)
While it is not always possible to save a knocked-out tooth, our emergency dentistry team will do everything possible to save it. Endodontic treatment is almost always required. If your tooth is whole, store it in milk and bring it with you to your appointment.
Loose Fillings
When an old filling falls out, teeth are especially prone to fracture.
Our emergency dentist in Warminster can quickly repair the area with a new filling or even a same-day dental crown.
Abscesses
Dental abscesses indicate that the nerve of the tooth has died or has been traumatized in some way. Although it may not appear to be painful, some abscessed teeth can cause severe pain and quickly spread infection.
