At Delaware Dental Studio, we offer same-day emergency dental care to ensure that you get the care you need to save your tooth and get back to optimal dental health.

What Counts As A Dental Emergency?

We typically define a dental emergency as any condition that is causing you pain that you cannot treat on your own. This means that dental injuries, such as knocked-out, loose, or damaged teeth count as emergencies. However, other conditions like a serious toothache, pulled-out or damaged dental work (crowns and fillings), and even serious cases of gum disease also warrant an emergency visit. No matter what kind of emergency you’re experiencing, it’s critical to get help right away to preserve your smile.

What Should I Do In A Dental Emergency?

The first thing you should do is contact Delaware Dental Studio right away. Some conditions, like a knocked-out tooth, need to be treated within 1-2 hours, and all dental emergencies should be treated as quickly as possible for the best outcome.
After you’ve made your appointment, you can take steps to minimize pain, discomfort and bleeding. Use sterile gauze or clean cotton balls to absorb blood, which will usually slow and stop within 1-2 hours.
You can also take some medicine like Advil or Tylenol to help mitigate pain and swelling. Applying an ice pack externally can also help you get relief from swelling and pain.
Once you’ve taken these steps, visit Delaware Dental Studio as soon as possible for emergency care so our emergency dentist can assist you.

The Importance of Immediate Care

Emergency care gives you relief from the pain and discomfort of your dental issue. An oral emergency like a cracked tooth or a serious toothache can be extremely painful. When you arrive, we can numb your mouth and provide you with sedation to keep you comfortable, then address the cause of your pain and discomfort. Getting care right away also helps you avoid the progression of dental issues into more serious problems.
