EMERGENCY DENTISTRY
Anyone can experience a dental emergency. At Stratton Family Dental, we know dental emergencies are never planned. Whether you are experiencing a dental emergency for the first time or are a regular patient, we provide the care you need, when you need it. We offer all patients same-day emergency care for dental infections and injuries.
What to Expect
If you are in severe dental pain or have lacerated your gums, cheeks, or tongue, this qualifies as an urgent dental emergency. Dr. Cure's office will be able to rearrange the schedule, or see you after hours so that you can receive treatment as soon as possible.
You’ll need immediate care for the following urgent dental emergencies:
-
Severe toothache
-
Dental abscess
-
Loose tooth
-
Broken tooth or large piece of tooth is missing
-
Large crack or chip in tooth
​
Non-urgent dental emergencies include:
-
Lost filling, crown, or bridge
-
Dull toothache
-
Food lodged between teeth
-
Small chip or crack in tooth
​
If you are having a non-urgent dental emergency, you’ll be able to schedule your dental appointment during normal office hours.
​
If you are experiencing severe dental pain and discomfort, we encourage you to seek treatment with us as soon as possible. Time can be of the essence with dental emergencies, and can often be what saves a tooth from needing expensive dental restoration or extraction. The sooner you seek emergency dental care, the sooner you can alleviate pain and prevent permanent damage to teeth and gums.
