Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits can keep your teeth healthy and prevent most dental issues. However, accidents happen, and a dental emergency can happen at any time of the day or night.
Glow Up Dentistry in Richmond is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for such situations. We can diagnose and treat your dental emergency quickly to prevent it from escalating.
Here’s what you need to know about emergency dental care at Glow Up Dentistry.
Emergency dentistry is the area of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating dental emergencies. A dental emergency is any dental issue that causes severe and uncontrollable pain, bleeding, and/or swelling.
The primary benefit of emergency dentistry is the relief of the symptoms associated with the emergency. Another benefit is the prevention of the problem escalating and causing more issues.
You should seek emergency treatment any time you have an oral issue that involves significant, uncontrollable bleeding, pain, and/or swelling. Also, if you experience facial trauma, even if there is no apparent damage or repercussions, it’s important to visit the dentist to check for problems.
The most common types of dental emergencies we see at Glow Up Dentistry are:
The primary purpose of an emergency dental appointment is to diagnose and treat the dental issue. Glow Up Dentistry offers the following emergency dental services:
The purpose of the emergency exam is to diagnose the issue and create a treatment plan.
There are several treatment options depending on your dental emergency. We offer several different procedures, including:
if a tooth is damaged beyond repair/restoration, we will remove it.
when possible, we try to salvage the natural tooth, which may require root canal treatment. This involves removing the infected dental pulp from inside of the tooth and disinfecting the area. You will need to return later to have a crown placed on the tooth to protect it from further damage.
if you have a tooth that is slightly damaged, we may be able to salvage it with a dental filling or crown.
The first step in your emergency dental visit is to get your pain and/or other symptoms under control so that we can examine the affected tooth. The purpose of the emergency exam is to determine the problem that is causing your symptoms. This will help us create a treatment plan to prevent the problem from escalating and causing additional issues.
Treatment depends on your dental emergency. We strive to salvage natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, restoration is not an option, and we must extract the affected tooth. If this is the case, we will work with you on replacement options to prevent further issues from missing teeth.
Aftercare instructions vary depending on the type of treatment received. However, in most cases, it is recommended that you rest on the day of the procedure. You should also stick to soft foods for a few days until your mouth feels better. Also, make sure you take any antibiotics as prescribed and take prescription or OTC pain relievers as directed. Don’t push yourself too hard, gradually transition back into your normal routine.
Glow Up Dentistry accepts cash, check, and all major credit cards. We work with many insurance providers. Simply provide your information to our front desk and we will contact your provider to determine coverage.
If you do not have dental insurance or if you are unable to pay the full fee at the time of service, we do offer financing options. These options include LendingTree and Cherry, which allow you to pay for your treatment and then break it up into more budget-friendly payments.
If you need additional assistance, please discuss your financial situation with our front desk. We believe that treatment should be affordable, so we will strive to create a treatment plan that will fit within your budget.
