Dental Emergency

When should I see an emergency dentist?

You should contact an emergency dentist any time you experience a serious issue regarding your teeth or oral health. Some of the most common types of dental emergencies include:

• Biting into your cheeks or tongue 
• Pus or bleeding around a tooth
• Severe, throbbing toothache
• A broken or fractured tooth
• Knocked out tooth

It’s important to seek immediate dental emergency care any time you experience these types of issues, among others, to restore your oral health and treat infections. Your emergency dentist can get you treated right away and help you with any pain you’re experiencing.

Is emergency dental treatment painful?

When you come into Arizona Advanced Dental for a dental emergency, the team understands how overwhelming the experience may be. They’re diligent about ensuring you get seen right away, so Dr. Clifford or Dr. Cutler can evaluate the extent of your dental emergency.

In many cases, you can receive a local numbing injection right away to help your pain subside. Arizona Advanced Dental proudly offers a variety of sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and conscious sedation medications, so you can focus on recovering, rather than on pain and discomfort. 

You can book your appointment at Arizona Advanced Dental through the website, or you can call to speak with a team member if you’re having a dental emergency.
