Common problems that might require an emergency dentist include:
One of the causes of tooth damage is playing sports. You can protect your teeth by wearing a mouth guard, but damage could still happen. Car accidents are another major cause of tooth injuries. You should visit the hospital if you injure yourself severely, but you need to see your emergency dentist about any tooth damage.
Severe and sudden toothache is a common reason for needing an emergency dentist. It might be that a small cavity has grown into a big one that requires a root canal. Or you have gum disease that’s making your gums recede, exposing the sensitive tooth and roots.
If you leave an infected tooth for too long, it can form an extremely painful dental abscess. An abscess is a major infection that can affect your jawbone and other parts of your mouth and might require oral surgery.
Preventing oral health problems is a priority at LB Dental P.C. The team offers general dentistry services that include routine dental cleanings and exams to keep their patients as healthy as possible. They also educate patients on proper dental hygiene.
You should attend teeth cleanings at least twice a year. Your dentist also carries out thorough checks of your teeth and gum health. They may take digital X-rays to look for early signs of problems with your teeth.
The LB Dental P.C. team provides general dentistry services to children and adults of all ages. They know how to help your child feel comfortable during a dental visit and practice gentle dentistry to ensure young patients feel more relaxed at their dental appointments.
