Emergency Dentistry At Saskatoon Downtown Dentist
Tooth pain doesn’t wait. Neither does a broken filling or a swollen jaw. Dental emergencies happen suddenly, and when they do, patients need care right away. That’s why same-day appointments are set aside whenever possible.
What Counts As An Emergency
It can be different for everyone. A cracked tooth after biting something hard. A knocked-out tooth during sports. Sharp, constant pain that won’t ease up. Even swelling that spreads to the face or neck. All of these are reasons to call right away.
What To Do In The Meantime
The steps depend on the problem. A knocked-out tooth should be rinsed gently, then placed back in the socket if possible, or stored in milk until the dentist can see it. For pain, over-the-counter medication may help until treatment begins. If swelling is severe or affects breathing, medical attention is needed without delay.
How Emergencies Are Treated
It varies. Sometimes it’s as simple as smoothing a chipped edge or replacing a filling. Other times it means a root canal, extraction, or antibiotics to control infection. The goal is always the same: ease the pain, address the cause, and prevent the problem from getting worse.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Small problems can grow into bigger ones if ignored. A cracked tooth that isn’t fixed can fracture further. An infection left untreated can spread. Getting treatment quickly often means simpler care and better results.
