According to the American Dental Association, every year in the U.S. there are approximately 2 million visits to hospital EDs for dental emergencies, most of which could have been managed by dental clinics, saving the healthcare system an estimated $1.7 billion. Here are some more statistics from the ADA: visits to the ED for dental pain can range from $400 to $1,500, as compared with $90 to $200 for a visit to the dentist.
North Atlanta Center for Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry can help you with the following dental emergencies:
For broken or chipped teeth, the team offers restoration using dental bonding, veneers, or crowns, as well as root canals, when necessary. In case your tooth has been knocked out but properly preserved, the clinic’s restorative dentists will attempt to reimplant it. The team advises you to contact them as soon as possible to maximize the chances of successful reimplantation. To preserve the tooth, put it back into the socket or keep it in milk while you’re traveling to the dental office. However, if your child has a baby tooth knocked out, do not put it back into the socket to prevent damage to the developing permanent tooth.
“The longer an individual waits to seek treatment, the greater the chance that they will not be able to repair the damage,” says Dr. Ashley Curington, the clinic’s founder. “Fortunately, we can treat the issue and ensure that regardless of the treatment decision the individual makes, their teeth are on the right track for continuing strong oral health.”
The clinic also provides emergency care to adults and children experiencing acute and unexpected toothache. Whether the intense pain is caused by cavities, gum disease, or an infection, the dentists will identify the cause, offer suitable treatment, and prescribe medication to ease your discomfort. To get relief before your visit, Dr. Ashley advises you to take some OTC pain meds and apply a cold compress or ice wrap to the face in the area of the pain.
