What Counts As An Emergency?

A dental emergency is an injury to your teeth, gums, mouth, or face that can be potentially serious. Ignoring this emergency can increase your risk of permanent damage. For all dental emergencies, it is important to contact our office as soon as the injury occurs.

What to Do During Your Dental Emergency

I’ve Knocked Out A Tooth

Rinse your tooth gently and put it back into the socket if safe to do so. If it’s not, immerse your tooth in a cup of milk or warm water with a pinch of salt and contact our office immediately.

I’ve Chipped Or Cracked My Tooth

Save any pieces possible and rinse your mouth gently with warm water. You can also apply cold compresses for swelling and pain as needed.

I’ve Lost My Tooth’s Crown

If your dental crown becomes loose or falls off your tooth, please contact us immediately for a replacement. Leaving your tooth uncrowned can lead to further tooth damage.

We Want Your Smile To Be Pain-Free

Dr. Paul Anast and his team are dedicated to providing effective pain relief for patients having a dental emergency. Whether it’s through root canal therapy, extractions, or same-day restorations using CEREC technology, our priority is to alleviate your discomfort and restore your oral health as quickly as possible. If you’re in pain, don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help.

What do I need to bring to my appointment?

Please bring along any relevant dental insurance information, a form of identification, and a list of any medications you’re currently taking.

Will my PPO insurance cover an emergency?

Most PPO dental insurance plans provide coverage for emergency dental care. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and the nature of the emergency. Our team at Kimberly Smiles can help you navigate your insurance coverage and ensure you receive the maximum benefits available.

If I lose a tooth, can I get a same-day crown?

We offer same-day crowns using advanced CEREC technology. If you lose a tooth or have damaged an existing crown, our experienced team can fabricate and place a custom crown in just one visit, restoring the function and aesthetics of your smile quickly and efficiently.

Can I do anything to prevent emergencies in the first place?

While some emergencies are unavoidable, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of dental emergencies. These include maintaining good oral hygiene practices, wearing a mouthguard during sports or physical activities, avoiding chewing on hard objects like ice or popcorn kernels, and attending regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
