What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, causing pain, discomfort, and potential long-term damage if left untreated. Emergency dentistry focuses on immediate diagnosis and treatment of urgent dental issues such as:
- Severe toothaches caused by infections or decay.
- Knocked-out teeth, which require prompt reattachment to prevent permanent loss.
- Broken or chipped teeth, often needing immediate repair to restore functionality and aesthetics.
- Facial or jaw trauma, including fractures and dislocations.
- Dental abscesses, which are serious infections that can spread if not treated promptly.
At Cupertino Oral & Facial Surgery, we provide fast, reliable care to alleviate pain and restore your oral health.
Why Emergency Dentistry Matters
Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to complications like worsening infections, additional damage to teeth or gums, or even systemic health issues. Seeking immediate professional care ensures:
- Pain relief: Alleviating discomfort from injuries or infections.
- Infection control: Addressing issues like abscesses to prevent further spread.
- Preservation of teeth: Increasing the likelihood of saving damaged or knocked-out teeth.
- Improved outcomes: Early intervention minimizes risks of long-term oral health problems.
