At Discovery Dental WA, we understand that dental emergencies happen at the most inconvenient times. We want to assure you that you are always welcome to contact us at any time, day or night, weekend or holiday.
2. At Discovery Dental, we understand
that dental emergencies happen at the
most inconvenient times. You have a
presentation at work at 8:00 a.m., but
you wake up at 2:00 in the morning
with throbbing tooth pain. Your child
fractures a tooth at baseball practice
when you're scheduled for a
professional family photo in a few
days.
3. Dr. Vanama and her entire staff
want you to feel comfortable, no
matter what day or time it is. That's
why we offer 24 hour dental care in
Issaquah, Washington.
4. When Might You Need a 24-Hour
Dentist?
When it comes to your healthcare, only
you can judge whether a situation is an
emergency or not. If you think that you
or a family member needs to be seen
and it can't wait until regular office
hours, please don't hesitate to call our
office at (425) 276-7062 to request
immediate assistance.
5. The following are some of the most
common dental emergencies:
Tooth or Facial Pain: A sudden onset of
pain anywhere inside of the mouth or
the lower face could indicate an
infection or a dental disorder like TMJ.
If you notice a tear or laceration in the
cheeks, tongue, or gums, clean the area
as best you can and contact us for
additional treatment.
6. Knocked Out Tooth: If you or a family
member knock out a tooth in an
accident, try to gather as much of the
tooth as possible and place it in a small
container. You should also place gauze
in the tooth socket to try to stop the
bleeding. Dr. Vanama may be able to
reattach some or all of your natural
tooth if you get to the office promptly.
7. Loose Tooth: You should seek
immediate attention for a tooth that was
previously secure but now feels loose.
Do not try to force the tooth back into
position as this could cause additional
damage.
8. Fractured or Cracked Tooth: A minor
chip to your tooth doesn't normally
require emergency treatment, but you
should call for an appointment as soon
as possible. However, a cracked or
fractured tooth could indicate damage
to its internal structure. It's also likely
to cause pain.
9. Dr. Vanama will examine the tooth to
determine what caused the crack or
fracture, provide pain relief, and
develop a long-term treatment strategy.
If you or a family member are bleeding,
in pain, or notice any unusual swelling,
you're definitely dealing with a dental
emergency. Discovery Dental is here to
help you feel better 24 hours a day.
