Whether you\u2019re dealing with a knocked-out tooth, a searing toothache, or a broken tooth, your mind is probably going a mile a minute. Not only are dental emergencies typically alarming, sudden, and painful, but they can be even more anxiety-inducing if you don\u2019t know what to do next. Fortunately, knowing what to expect when you visit your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dereksongdmd.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">Burlington emergency dentist<\/a> can help take some of the stress out of these scary situations. Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Same-Day Emergency Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what your dental emergency is, the first thing you should do is give your dentist a call. This is especially true for urgent situations like a knocked-out tooth or a severe dental infection, since these situations need to be treated as quickly as possible to prevent permanent damage. Most practices keep space open in their schedules to see emergency patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your appointment has been scheduled, a knowledgeable team member will walk you through some basic first aid. These instructions will help you manage your emergency and keep it from getting worse until you can reach their office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Quick But Thorough Emergency Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you arrive for your appointment, your emergency dentist will see you immediately. They\u2019ll evaluate your condition and provide some pain relief if necessary. To fully determine the source and extent of your emergency, they may need to take X-rays of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your dentist has finished his examination, they\u2019ll review their findings with you and fully explain which treatments they recommend. You\u2019ll work together to craft a personalized treatment plan to get your oral health back on track. Your dentist and their team will provide the estimated length and cost of any treatment before you agree to it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the Fast, Professional Care You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as a treatment plan has been made, your dental team can get to work. Most dental emergencies can be treated right away with services like fillings, dental crowns, or a tooth extraction. If you\u2019re feeling particularly anxious or physically uncomfortable, they may recommend nitrous oxide sedation to help you sit back and relax while they repair your pearly whites. Additionally, your dentist will also likely numb your mouth with a topical anesthetic to provide pain relief while they work. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be enjoying a healthy and pain-free smile once again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, you will never experience a dental emergency. But if you do, you can feel just a little more confident knowing what you can expect from your Burlington emergency dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Dereck Song, DMD and his talented team work hard to help the smile of Burlington and the surrounding communities stay happy and healthy for a lifetime.
