Is Your Injury a Real Dental Emergency?
In the event of a collision, fall or accident there can be a lot of blood in the mouth. Most mouth injuries look far more scary than they really are, thanks to the large number of blood vessels in the mouth. Sometimes what looks like an emergency is not something that needs immediate action.
It’s also helpful to have perspective when you suddenly have a chipped tooth, say. This kind of damage is a stressful experience, but quick dental work won’t have the largest effect here. What matters is getting the right cosmetic correction.
Chipped or cracked cosmetic dental work, such as a veneer or crown, or a broken dental appliance such as an orthodontic retainer, are troublesome but unless the problem is causing extreme pain you probably don’t need to run to your Arlington dentist’s office.
Types of Dental Emergencies
It turns out that some dental problems are more urgent than others! Contact Arlington Dentist to receive an emergency exam so we can treat your oral health issue if you have concerns. We can assess whether you need to be seen immediately or provide support to reduce your anxiety while awaiting an appointment.
Toothache and Jaw Pain
Tooth cavities, infections, cracked tooth or TMJ/TMD may cause such pain. We can diagnose the source of pain and help reduce it.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
Sports injuries, tough foods and accidents are key offenders. With dental fillings or crowns, our dentists repair and restore fractured teeth.
Knocked-Out Teeth
If an accident or injury knocks a tooth lose, our team can reembed it if you act fast!
Lost Restorations
If a filing, crown, bridge or other restorative dental work has fallen out, we can give you a temporary solution until you can return for the permanent replacement.
Abscessed Tooth
This is a dental emergency that needs to be treated as soon as possible. Call us if you develop swelling, pus, fever or other symptoms of infection.
Broken Braces or Wires
Visit our dental clinic to provide a temporary solution until you see your orthodontist for the permanent fix.
Gum Bleeding or Injuries
If you’ve advanced gum disease, have something lodged in your gums, or suffered trauma injuries, our emergency periodontal care is needed.

- Tooth extraction
- Root canal therapy
- Porcelain crown
- Dental bridge
- Inlays or onlays
- Dental implants
