Naples Emergency Dentists

Naples Emergency Dentist

Emergency dentistry becomes critical if you have been in an accident or have experienced injury to your teeth, mouth, or jaw. Instead of enduring painful suffering and possibly permanent damage, contact a Naples dentist immediately for emergency dentistry services.

Delaying treatment for a dental emergency may increase the risk of permanent damage resulting in more extensive and costly restorative dental treatments. Whether you lose a filling, chip or break a tooth, or need to relieve unbearable tooth pain, don’t put off emergency dentistry treatment any longer. Contact our Naples area emergency dental office today.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Pain is your body’s signal that something is wrong. It also means that it may be time to seek treatment for a known dental issue you may have been postponing. 

Wondering if your problem is a dental emergency? Here are some common dental emergencies as well as some ways to reduce discomfort:

  • Tooth impact and loss: Carefully rinse your tooth without removing any attached tissue. If possible, hold the tooth in place in the socket or place the tooth in milk. Contact us immediately.
  • Broken teeth: Save all of the pieces of the broken tooth and rinse your mouth out with warm water. Apply a cold compress to the area to decrease swelling and pain until we can examine the damage and restore your tooth.
  • Dental abscess: If you find a pimple formation or swelling on your gums, rinse your mouth with salt water and immediately contact our dental office. Abscesses can lead to more serious infections if not treated promptly.
  • Lost filling or crown: For dental fillings and crowns, you can use dental cement or sugarless gum to seal the hole and make a temporary repair until you see our dentist. Then, we can perform a permanent replacement or installation.
  • Toothache: Rinse your mouth out with warm water. Next, use dental floss to make sure there isn’t any food or other debris causing pain. If the tooth pain persists, call our office.
  • Bitten lip or tongue: Clean the area and apply an ice pack to reduce swelling. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, see your dentist right away, or go to a hospital emergency room.
