What is an Emergency Dental appointment?

Dental emergencies are any urgent oral health issues that require immediate attention to alleviate severe pain, stop persistent bleeding, or save a tooth. These situations can include a sudden, unbearable toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a painful abscess, or any other condition that poses a threat to your dental health and overall well-being. At Centennial Smiles, we understand that time is of the essence, which is why we reserve dedicated time in our schedule to accommodate patients who need urgent treatment. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Rhemtulla, is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies with compassion, expertise, and a focus on your comfort.

Here are a few reasons you need a Dental Exam and Cleaning.

  • SEVERE TOOTHACHE OR PERSISTENT PAIN
  • KNOCKED-OUT OR BROKEN TOOTH
  • PAINFUL ABSCESS OR INFECTION
  • EXCESSIVE BLEEDING FROM GUMS OR MOUTH
  • LOST OR DAMAGED DENTAL RESTORATION (FILLING, CROWN, BRIDGE)
  • ANY OTHER CONDITION CAUSING SIGNIFICANT PAIN OR RISK TO YOUR HEALTH

What does an Emergency Dental procedure involve?

If you find yourself in need of emergency dental care, the first step is to contact Centennial Smiles during our regular office hours. Our Administrators will quickly assess your situation and make every effort to schedule you for an appointment as soon as possible. When you arrive at our office, the doctor will conduct a thorough examination to diagnose the problem and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Depending on the nature of your emergency, this may involve procedures such as:

  • Administering pain relief or antibiotics to manage discomfort and infection
  • Performing root canal therapy to save a severely damaged or infected tooth
  • Repairing or replacing a broken or lost dental restoration
  • Extracting a tooth that cannot be saved
  • Providing detailed instructions for at-home care and follow-up treatment

In the event that you experience a dental emergency outside of our regular office hours, please contact 911 or visit your nearest urgent care center for immediate assistance. Once you have received initial care, be sure to follow up with our office so that we can provide any necessary further treatment and ensure your long-term oral health.
