If you are dealing with a dental emergency, we can help. Certain situations, such as sustaining an injury to the teeth, call for treatment right away. At Woodland Park Dental in Cambridge, we provide emergency dental services for issues requiring immediate care. If you have an urgent dental situation, Dr. Moon Chow or Dr. Sepehr Jafar-Pour will be able to see you promptly.
Types of Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency is a situation that requires immediate care. Seeking treatment right away can prevent further complications from developing. In most cases, the first place to contact in a dental emergency is a dentist’s office. If that is not possible, then a visit to a hospital emergency room is needed. At our practice in Cambridge, we provide emergency dental services for the following problems:
- An injury or trauma to the teeth, such as a fractured tooth
- An injury or trauma to the face or mouth
- Swelling of the gums, mouth, or face
- An infection in the gums, mouth, or face
- Severe pain or discomfort in the mouth or face
Other Dental Situations
Many dental situations should also be treated within a few days, but do not necessarily require emergency treatment. If you experience a non-emergency dental issue, contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. Examples of dental situations that do not require immediate emergency treatment include:
- Minor toothaches
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- Loss of dental work, such as a filling or crown
- A loose or broken braces bracket, band, or wire
- A broken retainer
Contact our office if you are experiencing a dental emergency, such as an injury to the teeth or mouth. We are still available to provide immediate care for dental emergencies.
