Let Dr. Kumar Help Alleviate Your Discomfort and Restore Your Oral Health

Our goal is to get you back on the road to oral health as quickly as possible. As a trusted emergency dentist, you can count on Dr. Kumar for prompt, skilled, and reliable care.

Treatment for dental problems such as a toothache or a fractured tooth can vary. It all depends on the extent of the damage caused by the decay or trauma. Care may involve the placement of a new dental filling, dental bonding, or a larger restoration such as a crown to rebuild the tooth's form and function. If the damage has reached the tooth's nerve and vital inner tissues, you may need root canal treatment to save your natural tooth. Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure with a greater than 95% success rate. Although we provide leading-edge care and do all we can to help save your tooth, in some situations a dental extraction is required. While losing a tooth can feel a little overwhelming, there's no reason for despair.

With advances in dentistry, there are several options available for the replacement of missing teeth, including dental implants, conventional fixed bridges, and partial or complete dentures. Today, dental implants represent the most advanced method for replacing a lost tooth and reestablishing a complete and beautiful smile.

Toothaches

Pain is your body's way of signaling that something is not quite right and though there are many reasons for oral pain, one of the most common complaints and reasons for seeking urgent dental care is a toothache. Whether you simply need a dental filling, a crown, or require a root canal procedure to save your tooth, we'll alleviate your discomfort and restore the look and function of the involved tooth.

Dental Trauma

Dental trauma can result in a defect as minor as a small chip in tooth enamel to a more extensive and painful crack or fracture. With sufficient force, a tooth can even be displaced or completely knocked out of its socket. With prompt emergency care, many injured teeth can be restored and saved.

Maple Dental

Wisdom Teeth

The last teeth in your mouth to develop, wisdom teeth often do not have enough room to fully erupt or may be positioned in the wrong direction. These issues can affect your dental health as well as overall well-being. Our office provides skilled care to address the complications caused by problematic wisdom teeth.

What is an emergency dentist?

+

An emergency dentist is a dental professional who provides immediate care and treatment for dental issues that require urgent attention. They are available outside of regular dental office hours to address dental emergencies.

What constitutes a dental emergency?

+

Dental emergencies include severe toothache, knocked-out or loose teeth due to injury, broken or cracked teeth, uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth, dental abscesses, and any oral injury or issue causing severe pain or difficulty in normal functioning.

How do I know if I need to see an emergency dentist?

+

If you are experiencing severe pain, bleeding, or have had a traumatic injury to your mouth, it's best to seek immediate dental care. In cases of doubt, it's safer to contact an emergency dentist for guidance.

Can I go to my regular dentist for emergencies?

Your regular dentist may not always be available for emergencies outside of their regular hours. It's essential to have an emergency dentist's contact information handy for after-hours or weekend emergencies.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

+

If a tooth is knocked out, try to gently rinse it with clean water without touching the root. Place it back into the socket if possible, or keep it moist in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care. Time is critical in saving a knocked-out tooth.

How can I manage severe toothache until I see an emergency dentist?

+

You can rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove any trapped debris, and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. Do not put aspirin directly on the tooth, as it can damage your gums.

Are emergency dentists more expensive than regular dentists?

+

Emergency dental care costs can vary, but they are often similar to regular dental fees. The priority in emergencies is to address the issue promptly, and cost should not deter you from seeking necessary care.

Do emergency dentists accept insurance?

+

Many emergency dentists accept dental insurance. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider and the emergency dentist's office for coverage details before your visit.

What should I do in case of a broken or cracked tooth?

+

Rinse your mouth gently with warm water, and if you have swelling, apply a cold compress to the affected area. Seek immediate dental attention for a proper assessment and treatment plan.

How can I prevent dental emergencies?

+

To reduce the risk of dental emergencies, maintain good oral hygiene, wear protective gear during sports, avoid chewing on hard objects, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and preventive care.
