What Is a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies encompass a range of issues, including severe tooth pain, loose or knocked-out teeth, chipped or broken teeth, oral infections, dental abscesses, and loose fillings or crowns. Any dental issue that causes significant pain or affects your oral function qualifies as an emergency. It's critical to seek immediate care, as ignoring a problem may lead to complications down the road.

Note: If you or a loved one have a life-threatening emergency, please head to your nearest emergency room or call 911 for immediate assistance.

Buckingham Family Dental's Emergency Services

At Buckingham Family Dental, we strive to meet your needs and offer the following services:

Same-Day Appointments: Imagine waking up with a severe toothache or a broken tooth on a busy workday. It can be overwhelming and severely impact your daily life. We prioritize dental emergencies and offer same-day appointments to ensure you receive timely and effective care. Simply reach out to our friendly staff, and we'll do our best to accommodate you as quickly as possible.

After-Hours and Saturday Availability: Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. That's why we go the extra mile to be available for you even after regular business hours. On Saturdays, we open our doors, and though we may be away after hours, you can always leave us a message, and we'll get back to you the following day. If your dental emergency arises during the weekend, rest assured that we'll see you on the very next business day.

What Should You Expect During Your Emergency Visit?

Our skilled and compassionate dental team will ensure your visit is as smooth and comfortable as possible. When you arrive at our clinic, we will promptly assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan to address your concerns. In some cases, you may require root canal therapy to save a severely damaged tooth. We will perform the procedure with precision, alleviating your pain and saving your natural tooth.

If your tooth damage is beyond repair, extraction may be the only viable option to safeguard the remaining teeth. Rest assured, we will guide you through the process and do everything we can to ensure you are comfortable while receiving the highest quality care. After your tooth extraction, we'll discuss the various tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, tailored to your smile's unique needs.

How Can You Prevent Dental Emergencies?

While we are always ready to assist during emergencies, prevention is better than cure. To reduce the risk of dental emergencies, keep the following in mind:

Make sure you maintain good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing and flossing, to lower your risk of tooth decay and gum disease, which can both lead to dental emergencies.
Visit Buckingham Family Dental for your routine dental exams and cleaning to lower the risk of tooth decay and gum disease and uncover oral health problems as they develop when easiest to treat.
Avoid chewing on hard foods or objects like using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to your teeth or any existing restorations.
If you grind your teeth at night or are engaged in contact sports, wearing a custom night guard or sports mouthguard can protect your teeth from potential injury or damage.
