Here are Some of the situations that qualify for the Dental Emergency category and The Family Smiles Dental is suitably located at 1011 N Hwy 77, Ste 105, Waxahachie,  is the best option available and emergency dental offices near you.

Teeth Injury

Any trauma to a tooth or the entire jaw comes under teeth injury. An injury may cause the tooth to be loosened up or even removed from its place. Immediately seek help from our Dental Clinic. We will treat accordingly to restore the tooth or teeth to as close as possible to before the injury. In the case of a broken or fractured jaw, we will immediately refer you to the nearest hospital (after hours) or to an Oral Surgeon. Please do not try to fix it on your own because you may end further dislocating it.

 Knocked-out tooth

If you have a knocked-out tooth due to some trauma or accident, you have little time to waste. The tooth can be re-fixed to its socket but only if it receives emergency care within 2 hours of being knocked out. Do this after gently rinsing the tooth in saline or salty water GENTLY to remove any visible debris or blood. If you do not have saline available, put the tooth in small container with the patients saliva and see us at our  Dental clinic ASAP.

 Impaired braces

If a wire in your braces has broken or come loose, it may poke and scrape your gums, cheeks or tongue. This calls for seeking emergency dental services at our  Dental Clinic. As a temporary measure, you can try covering the wire end with a piece of gauze or a small cotton ball.

Abscesses

Notice a painful swelling filled with pus on your gum? It could be an abscess, infection that attacks a tooth’s root or the space between the gums and teeth. Leaving the infection untreated can cause it to severely damage surrounding tissue and teeth and even spread to rest of the body. Get to your emergency dentist  without wasting time.

 Cracked, Broken or chipped tooth

Small cracks in the tooth can be fixed with filling. More serious cases may require procedures like a tooth extraction or root canal therapy. At any rate, attend to damaged tooth soon because it may lead to bacteria penetration into the inner tooth chamber thus causing infection.

 Lost restorations like crowns or fillings

If your restorations like crowns, bridges, fillings, etc. have fallen out of place, then you’ll need emergency dental services to fix the same.
