Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency, and when should I call an emergency dentist?
A dental emergency is when you have severe pain, a lost tooth, or any injury to your mouth that is causing bleeding or swelling. If you are experiencing discomfort or have a sudden dental issue, contact Affinity Dental right away to see Dr. Kelly B. Wettstein or Dr. Payton Harker. Our team can evaluate your concern and help determine the appropriate next step.
What should I do if I have sudden or severe tooth pain?
Tooth pain can be intense and uncomfortable. Rinse your mouth with warm water, and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Call our dental practice to book an emergency appointment with our dentist as soon as possible to identify the cause and ease the pain.
Should I Worry About a Chipped Tooth If It Doesn’t Hurt?
If your chipped tooth isn’t causing any pain, you likely don’t need an emergency dental visit. However, it’s still important to schedule an appointment within the next few days. Even without pain, sensitivity, or discomfort, a chipped tooth can be vulnerable to infection or further damage. Getting it checked promptly can help prevent these complications.
Can a cracked or broken tooth be treated as an emergency?
Yes, a cracked or broken tooth can be very painful and needs immediate attention. Even if it does not hurt much, seeing an emergency dentist right away at Affinity Dental will prevent further damage and protect the tooth from infection.
What should I do if my filling or crown falls out?
If your filling or crown falls out, do not panic! Keep it in a safe place, and contact our dental team quickly. In the meantime, you can use a small amount of dental cement to temporarily cover the tooth, preventing further damage.
Can an emergency dentist help with swelling or an abscessed tooth?
Absolutely. Swelling or an abscessed tooth can be signs of infection, which need immediate treatment. An emergency dentist at Affinity Dental can help you relieve pain, treat the infection, and prevent complications.
What should I do if I experience bleeding after an injury to my mouth?
If you are bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze to stop the flow. If the bleeding does not stop or the injury seems serious, contact Affinity Dental as soon as possible for immediate care.
Can a dentist treat pain caused by teeth grinding or jaw issues during an emergency?
Yes! Teeth grinding or jaw pain can be unbearable, especially if it comes on suddenly. At Affinity Dental, our dentists, Dr. Kelly B. Wettstein and Dr. Payton Harker, can relieve the pain and recommend solutions – such as a nightguard, to protect your teeth and ease discomfort.
Can children be seen for dental emergencies?
Of course! Children can experience dental emergencies too, often due to falls or accidents. If your child is in pain or has a dental injury, do not try home remedies. Bring them to our dental office in Queen Creek for quick, gentle care.
What should I do if I lose a permanent tooth during sports or an accident?
Losing a permanent tooth can be alarming, but there is a chance it can be saved! Gently rinse the tooth, try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk, and visit our dental office immediately.
Can you provide same-day emergency appointments?
Yes, we offer same-day emergency appointments! If you are in pain or need immediate care, do not wait. Call us right away, and we will begin treatment to protect your oral health and relieve your pain.
