What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any oral health issue requiring immediate attention to prevent further complications or alleviate significant pain. Common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe toothache or swelling

  • Cracked or broken teeth

  • Knocked-out or loose teeth

  • Lost dental fillings or crowns

  • Soft tissue injuries, including cuts to the gums, cheeks, or tongue

Types of Emergency Dental Services We Provide

Dr. Howard H Carrico III and our dedicated team offer a range of emergency dental services, ensuring you receive appropriate treatment for urgent dental issues. Here’s what we can help with:

  1. Pain Relief for Severe Toothaches - A toothache can indicate anything from a cavity to an abscess or infection. Our team will assess your condition, identify the source of the pain, and provide treatment options to relieve discomfort and prevent further damage.

  2. Repairing Broken or Chipped Teeth - Broken or chipped teeth may cause pain, difficulty eating, and even potential infection if not treated quickly. Dr. Carrico uses advanced techniques to restore damaged teeth, helping you regain both function and confidence.

  3. Replacement of Knocked-Out Teeth - If you’ve had a tooth knocked out due to an accident or injury, getting to the dentist quickly is crucial. In many cases, we can re-implant the tooth if treatment is sought immediately. We’ll guide you through proper care before arriving at our office, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment.

  4. Fixing Lost or Damaged Restorations - Lost fillings or crowns not only impact your smile but can also lead to discomfort and expose your teeth to further damage. We can quickly replace these restorations to keep your smile intact and protected.
