Experienced Emergency Dental Care in Loris

There are a few rules to follow when determining whether or not you require emergency dental care. Unless you're in pain, bleeding from your mouth, or have swelling, you may normally wait for a routine dentist appointment.

The following are some questions to ask yourself to determine if you have a true dental emergency. If you replied "yes" to any of the following questions, you should seek emergency dental help immediately:

• Are you experiencing extreme pain?
• Were you hit in the face or mouth?
• Is your mouth bleeding?
• Have any of your teeth become loose?
• Are you swelling around your mouth or face?
• Do you feel any bulges, swelling, or knots on your gums?

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, call us immediately at 843-756-2273.

An abscess is a type of infection that begins in the tooth or gums and quickly spreads to other places in the body. This type of infection necessitates immediate treatment, so make an appointment with your dentist right away.

Your dentist may be able to perform an emergency root canal or refer you to an endodontist so that the abscess can drain before the root canal is performed.

Call Carolina Dental Care to schedule a same-day emergency dental appointment. Before your tooth abscess spreads, our specialists can quickly diagnose and treat it.

If you've fallen and chipped a tooth, you can usually wait a few days before visiting a dentist. On the other hand, a cracked or fractured tooth may necessitate immediate dental attention.

A chipped tooth is mostly cosmetic in nature; however, a cracked tooth may have interior damage. When this happens, you should immediately contact your dentist to make an emergency dental appointment so that you can try to save the tooth.

One thing you can do at home before your emergency appointment is to rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the region. Clean the chipped pieces and bring them to your appointment if you still have them so your dentist can use them to attempt to repair your chipped tooth. Contact Carolina Dental Care for any dental emergencies by calling 843-756-2273 or visit our main website.

Because a temporary dental crown is more delicate than a permanent crown, it may become loose or fall off after being fitted to the tooth. If your temporary crown comes loose or falls out, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and remove any debris from the area, being careful not to ingest it. A loose temporary crown, or one that has fallen off, is not a dental emergency.

Apply Vaseline, toothpaste, or a small amount of denture adhesive on the temporary crown and reattach it to your tooth until you can see your dentist. Within a few days of the crown becoming loose, you should make an appointment to have it professionally re-cemented.

Give us a call to schedule an appointment to deal with your loose crown.

Lost teeth aren’t simply a problem for kids; it may also affect adults. If you lose a permanent tooth, schedule an emergency dental appointment at Carolina Dental Care right away. A knocked-out tooth must be treated right away. If necessary steps are followed quickly, a tooth can be re-implanted and saved.

To help save your tooth, follow these crucial first-aid actions before your consultation:

• Avoid touching the root and just handle the tooth by its crown.
• Remove any debris from your tooth with a toothbrush, but do not use any form of cleaning solution.
• If feasible, replace the tooth in its socket, carefully holding it in place while attempting to bite down.
• If you can't get your tooth back into the socket, put it in a cup of milk and call an emergency dentist right away! The sooner you visit the dentist, the more likely you are to save your tooth.
