What Sorts of Dental Emergencies has Placerville Dentistry Treated

The details are sometimes intense. Suffice to say, we’ve treated patients with all types of dental emergencies, including tooth pain, chipped or broken teeth, or knocked-out teeth. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, our doctors are trained to help. We’ll get you in and get you patched up ASAP.

After You’ve Treated My Emergency Will I Need Additional Dental Care

We know that emergencies can put a drain on your finances. In many cases, you’ll be able to take advantage of our special offers and save money when you visit the office for an initial consultation. Of course, there is no way to know in advance what sort of treatment may be needed after a dental emergency so it’s best to contact us for more information.

What Happens If I Don’t Treat the Emergency

The consequences of not dealing with a dental emergency can be serious. If you leave your tooth in an injured state, it will only get worse. Your tooth’s pulp (nerve) can become infected or damaged and cause further issues. Save yourself some pain and see a dentist as soon as you can.

What Kind of Follow-Up Care Will I Need

In many cases, after an emergency has been treated, you may not require any additional care. In most cases, our doctors will make a note of what caused the dental emergency and take steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. If your teeth were damaged as a result of the emergency, you might need to undergo additional treatment. Contact us today for more information on follow-up care.
