What To Do In A Dental Emergency
Consultation
Dr. Leonett will examine your teeth and take digital scans to rule out oral health problems that would disqualify you as a candidate for teeth whitening. Then, she will take note of the severity of your discoloration.
Treatment Plan
Dr. Leonett will have an open and honest conversation about how you feel about your smile. How white do you want your teeth to be and how soon do you want to achieve this? Other factors such as if you have sensitive teeth will be taken into account when creating your treatment plan. We will make a recommendation about what whitening treatment is best for you.
In-Office Whitening
A cheek protractor will be placed in your mouth to keep your teeth exposed and we will apply a protective gel to your gums to prevent contact between your delicate soft tissues and the whitening product. Then, the whitening gel is applied to each tooth and activated with UV light. After about an hour, we will rinse out the treatment and you will see instant results.

Take-Home Whitening
You will need to come in for a quick appointment so we can take impressions of your teeth that are sent to an outside lab that will use them as a mold for your custom-made whitening trays.
After applying the gel to the inside of the trays and placing them over your teeth, you will wear these each day for the allotted time specified in the directions for 2 weeks.
Maintenance
Once you have achieved the tooth shade that you were aiming for through whitening, you will want to avoid contact with stains which can negatively affect your results. By attending regular dental cleanings every 6 months, you will help to maintain your white teeth. Over time, you may eventually need another whitening touch-up.
The Importance of Prompt Emergency Care
Same-Day Dental Care
Looking for immediate care? Same-day dentistry gets you in our office right away, so you can quickly get back to a healthy oral state. During your visit, your dentist will examine the dental injury and craft an immediate plan to heal and restore your smile that very same day.
After Hours Appointments
Not all dental emergencies happen during business hours! That’s why we offer after-hours appointments for patients experiencing emergencies that can’t wait to be treated. Call our office to schedule an appointment if you are experiencing a dental emergency beyond our usual hours. Our team will do everything we can to work with your schedule, alleviate your pain, and get your smile back to thriving health.
Weekend Appointments
If a dental emergency occurs over the weekend, there’s no need for you to wait in pain until Monday for an appointment. Our office provides limited weekend availability and appointments by request to ensure you receive the immediate treatment you deserve.
Problem-Focused Exams
When issues arise, our team can perform problem-focused exams (also known as limited exams) to help address the issues. Limited exams allow us to focus on what’s hurting or injured so we can get you out of pain and back to normal again.
Digital X-Rays & Imaging
Better diagnostics means better results. With modern imaging techniques, we can quickly and accurately assess your dental emergency, and create a treatment plan right away, so you can relieve your dental pain and get back to your life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Not Do in a Dental Emergency?
Do not panic in a dental emergency since dental emergencies are perfectly normal and can be addressed if you follow the right steps. Next, you should never hold a knocked-out tooth by the crown or you might damage the delicate cells on the root.
Don't use a sharp object to remove anything stuck in your teeth or in the wound following an injury to the teeth or mouth. Additionally, avoid ignoring the dental emergency or choose to self-diagnose and self-medicate. You’ll do much better in the hands of a professional emergency dentist who’ll address the dental emergency promptly.
My Child’s Tooth Fell Out: What Should I Do?
The first thing to do if your child’s teeth fall out is to keep calm. A level head will help you better assess the situation and take the right steps. Plus, it’s worth noting that children's teeth sometimes fall out naturally and you have nothing to be worried about.
Once calm, gently pick up the tooth by the crown (avoiding the root) and rinse it with cold running water. Try to reinsert the tooth by pushing it back in place and asking your cold to bite in a piece of cloth to keep it secured. If restoring the tooth is impossible, store the tooth in a glass of milk and contact an emergency dentist for the next step.
When Do You Need an Emergency Dentist?
An emergency dentist might be necessary if you knock out one of your teeth in an accident, fall, or fight. If you get to the dentist within an hour of losing your tooth, they may be able to put it back in place.
You’ll also need an emergency dentist if you severely chip one or more teeth, to the point that it exposes the nerve fibers in the tooth canals. The same goes if you have a large dental abscess or a severe toothache immune to painkillers. Incessant bleeding in the gums is also a sign you should contact an emergency dentist.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any dental complication that causes excruciating pain, profuse bleeding, or could spiral into something much worse without immediate treatment. Dental emergencies differ from regular dental conditions in that they require immediate or almost immediate treatment. Failure to which, they could get out of hand and lead to more severe complications that are expensive to treat.
Unlike regular dental issues, dental emergencies don’t require prior appointments. Emergency dentists work around the clock to respond to emergency dental issues on short notice, including during weekends, holidays, and late hours.
