When dental emergencies happen, waiting several days for an appointment with a dentist is not an option.
Mountain View Family Dentistry’s dentist, Dr. Lyndsey Hazen is committed to helping patients manage sudden injuries and complications that require immediate treatment. Some emergencies are extremely painful, and a visit to the dentist can provide instant relief. On the other hand, some emergencies can threaten the health of the teeth, and receiving rapid dental treatment could mean the difference in saving a tooth or losing it.

At Mountain View Family Dentistry, we preform extraction, root canals or what-ever is needed to get you out of pain ASAP.

The steps you take after a dental emergency happens can greatly improve your outcome once you receive emergency care. Here are some precautionary steps you can take in the time it takes to arrive at your dentist’s office. The American Dental Association has a few recommendations:

If you bite your lip/tongue – gently cleanse the area and apply a cold compress

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I call the dentist?

If you are experiencing sudden and chronic tooth pain, or if you have sustained trauma to your teeth and surrounding tissues, you may need to see us. Even if you do not currently have a dental emergency, it is important that your emergency dentist be capable of treating you quickly in the event a dental emergency does arise.

What can I do after my emergency dental appointment to avoid future problems?

Some of the most common dental emergencies can be prevented by taking a few simple precautions. Avoid chewing hard foods, such as candy and ice, as these can cause your tooth to crack or chip. Also, be sure to wear a properly fitted dental mouth guard during sports and other high impact activities. Protecting your mouth on a daily basis can significantly reduce your risk of injuring your teeth, as well as your tongue, lips, and the walls of your mouth.
