Emergency Dentistry

An emergency dental situation can come out of nowhere and cause a lot of stress. We here at Hebron Family Dentistry handle emergency dentistry to make sure you are given the care and attention you need if you are hit with the unexpected.

Many situations can be a dental emergency, but it may be hard to tell the difference between a routine dental concern and an actual emergency. However, there are a few sure signs that indicate you shouldn't wait to have your dental issues addressed by Dr. Watson. Some of the most common emergency dental incidents include:

• Severe pain- This can indicate an active infection that requires immediate treatment such as antibiotics or pain medication.
• Lost tooth- Dr. Watson may be able to help you save your tooth if the issue is addressed quickly enough.
• Excessive bleeding- This can be a sign of infection, gum disease or other possible causes.
• Injury to the mouth- Any sort of injury or trauma to your mouth should be addressed as soon as possible, especially if it has caused bleeding or pain.

Other reasons for concern include lost fillings or crowns, swelling, abscess or pus. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should see us right away to avoid the spread of infection or further complications. Regardless of the issue, Dr. Watson and our team at Hebron Family Dentistry are here to provide you with quality care and support.
