Emergency Dentistry

When it comes to emergencies, most of us rush to the nearest hospital or dial 911 without a second thought. But what about the emergencies that strike within your mouth? When dental distress knocks on your door, you can visit Makowski Dental. From soothing toothaches to the pain of a knocked-out tooth, our emergency dentist in Aurora can save your smile in no time.

What's a Dental Emergency?

• Toothaches: A sudden, severe toothache may indicate you have an underlying issue like a cavity or infection. Ignoring toothaches can lead to irreversible problems like tooth loss.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Accidents happen, and when a tooth gets knocked out, you need to act swiftly. Saving your tooth and preserving your smile's integrity is possible with immediate dental attention.
• Chipped or Broken Teeth: Whether it's from biting into something hard or an injury, damaged teeth can be painful and affect your looks. Prompt repair can prevent infection and further damage.
• Dental Abscess: An abscess is an infection often accompanied by swelling and fever. If you suffer from this condition, you need immediate treatment to prevent bacteria from spreading to other parts of your body.
• Severe Bleeding: When you experience uncontrolled bleeding from your mouth due to an injury or oral surgery, you must seek emergency dental care as soon as possible.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene

Brushing and flossing every day helps prevent cavities, infections, and gum disease, reducing the risk of dental emergencies.

Wear Protective Gear

If you often engage in contact sports or activities with a risk of facial injury, you need to wear a mouthguard to shield your teeth from trauma.

Avoid Chewing Hard Objects

Crunching on ice, hard candies, or using your teeth as tools can lead to chipped or broken teeth. Avoid these habits to prevent emergencies.

Regular Dental Check-Ups

Routine dental visits allow us to detect and address dental issues before they become emergencies. Don't skip those check-ups! Schedule appointments at least twice a year or as your dentist indicates.

Our Emergency Dentistry Services

Root Canal

Our emergency dentist performs a root canal when the pulp inside your tooth gets damaged or infected. This problem can occur due to deep cavities, trauma, or a cracked tooth.

During a root canal, we will take out the infected pulp, disinfect the area, and seal it to prevent further infection. The procedure can save your natural tooth and alleviate pain.

Extractions

Tooth extractions become necessary when your tooth is severely damaged, infected, or unable to erupt. Our team will only recommend extraction when it's the only course of action and will also walk you through replacement options to complete your smile.

Emergency Gum Treatment

Gum emergencies can arise due to conditions like periodontal disease or acute infections. Symptoms may include swelling, bleeding, and severe pain.

Depending on the severity of your case, our team will assess your gum condition and provide appropriate treatment, including deep cleaning, antibiotics, or surgical intervention.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are versatile dental restorations used in various situations. Crowns can restore and protect teeth with large cavities or fractures, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth and restore your smile's aesthetics and function.

Crowns and bridges are made to fit your unique smile. They provide strength, durability, and a natural appearance. The procedure typically involves preparing the affected teeth, taking impressions, and placing temporary restorations until your permanent ones are ready.
