TYPICAL EMERGENCY TREATMENTS
Depending on the cause of your tooth pain and the extent of the damage, several treatments might be applicable.
Most common solutions include:
If the dental pulp is infected, a course of antibiotics or a root canal treatment may be necessary. During this procedure, your emergency dentist will remove the pulp, fill the space with paste and cover the rest of the tooth with a crown to seal and protect it.
NEVER IGNORE TOOTH PAIN
Tooth pain is an indication that something is wrong. Sometimes, the pain might range from mild to severe, which can come and go. However, it can be disturbed or made worse when eating and drinking.
As dentists, we know that this pain gets progressively worse the more it is ignored, and it can often lead to more costly dental fixes and repairs.
Our advice is to see an emergency dentist as soon as you can.
WHAT NOT TO DO
RELIEVE TOOTHACHE AT HOME
Are you worried about affording your treatment? Are you scared it will involve costly reconstruction work? We offer 0% finance, which is interest-free for the first 12 months.
Using our finance option, patients can break down the cost of their emergency treatment into manageable monthly instalments.
Or, if you have insurance, we’re accepted by many health insurance providers.
We treat thousands of patients every year with problems just like yours.
Here at the Maida Smiles clinic, we employ several specialist dentists who are highly experienced in diagnosing conditions promptly and effectively.
By finding out the root of your dental emergency, we can work quickly to treat your condition as well as prevent it from re-occurring again.
For example, our emergency dentist uses in-house equipment like a 3D CT scanner to diagnose conditions more accurately than ever before.
Plus, with several cosmetic dentists on-site daily, we can even use in-house technology to provide vital same-day repairs with crowns and veneers to not only protect your teeth from harm but to restore their aesthetics.
