Emergency Dentist Canton
What exactly is a dental emergency? Typically, it refers to a toothache or some other kind of oral pain, or a tooth that has become dislodged or knocked out. However, here at Cavalier Family Dental, our
emergency dentist in Canton makes you a priority whenever you have an urgent need, based on your own judgment.
Toothaches can be the result of various problems, including a cavity, a lost filling, a cracked or chipped tooth, or an infection inside your tooth. Pain in or around your tooth can also be due to jaw problems like TMJ disorder or even gum disease. One thing is certain, and that is you should not ignore a toothache or any oral pain. You are experiencing it for a reason. Your body is warning you to seek care in a timely manner. If you choose to tough it out or put it off, you could end up with an infection where none was initially. You could also cause your tooth to need extraction, instead of being saved by our
emergency dentist in Canton. A dislodged tooth or one that has been knocked out (avulsed) also requires prompt attention. Try to put the tooth back into its proper position, if you can. Otherwise, if the tooth is completely free of its socket, place it in a container with milk, or use a pinch of salt in water instead. To deal with pain or swelling, take over-the-counter pain relievers and put an ice pack on your face until you can reach our office. Our
emergency dentist in Canton will take the appropriate action, which can mean simply getting the tooth back into its socket or performing root canal to save it. Extraction is the last resort, only if the tooth cannot be rescued successfully.
