Dr. Smith, Dr. Bittler and our team are dedicated to providing you with effective treatments so you can relax once again and feel good about your oral health.

When To Seek Care For A Dental Emergency

You may find peace of mind in hearing that not all dental problems are true emergencies. The American Dental Association determines a dental emergency as a life-threatening situation that requires immediate care to stop severe pain, control bleeding and prevent an infection from worsening. It also encompasses any issues impacting the teeth or supporting tissues that may cause biological, function or aesthetic complications without the need of immediate treatment. 

At Magnolia Family Dental, we are here to offer you support and guidance. If you are unsure whether your situation is a true dental emergency, please call our office at (804) 744-9051, and our friendly team will provide you with the clarity and direction you need.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

At Magnolia Family Dental, we believe that if you know how to respond promptly during a dental emergency, you will feel more confident and less stressed during the situation. We strive to educate all our patients with helpful information that could mean the difference between saving a tooth and preventing long-term issues. Here are some common dental emergencies we treat and how to handle them.

There are many reasons you may be experiencing a toothache such as a cavity, broken filling, gum disease, teeth grinding or you may just simply have something stuck in your gums. If that’s the case, we recommend flossing and washing your mouth out to see if you can dislodge any food particles that may be stuck. If the pain doesn’t go away, call our office at (804) 744-9051 to be seen for this type of dental emergency.

It can be very alarming to lose a tooth unexpectedly. If that happens to you or a family member, do not panic. The first thing you should do in this type of dental emergency is to see if you can put the tooth back in place. Then, control or manage any bleeding. Contact our office at (804) 744-9051 immediately to be seen, but if we are closed you should head to your local emergency room.

If you have a cracked or chipped tooth, you may need a restoration in order to restore its structure, function and shape. At Magnolia Family Dental, we have several options for restorative dentistry treatment, and we are happy to provide you with the right choice.

When a filling or crown unexpectedly comes out or becomes loose, it is important to repair it as soon as possible in order to prevent further damage.

Unprecedented injury or trauma to the mouth can be scary, but Magnolia Family Dental is your partner in dental care to ensure your injury is treated effectively so that your road to recovery is seamless.
