You visit the front desk, wait for your appointment, and simply say \u201cah\u201d when your dentist tells you to. But what happens when you have a problem that a routine cleaning can\u2019t solve? Does your dentist rush you to an operating table on a gurney? Will you have to be conscious for the procedure? What does emergency treatment involve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exceptionaldentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dental<\/a> visit is different than your average appointment, but it\u2019s nothing to be worried about. Keep reading so you know what to expect and can sleep without having nightmares about losing your incisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making an Emergency Dental Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting that worrisome toothache or damaged tooth checked is as simple as calling your dentist to book an appointment. Many emergency dentists will accept <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exceptionaldentistry.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">same-day appointments<\/a>, so you might not even have to wait very long to receive relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, after explaining your symptoms, your dentist determines you don\u2019t require urgent care, they\u2019ll still give you recommendations to help alleviate aches and pains until you come in for your visit. Remember to make driving arrangements if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investigating Your Symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made it to your emergency appointment, your dentist will see you as quickly as possible and start evaluating your mouth. Depending on your situation, the cause of your emergency might be obvious. If not, your dentist will have to investigate further. In these instances, they\u2019ll check your teeth and gums and might take an X-ray to examine your roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing for Dental Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, your dentist will be able to treat the problem right then and there to solve your dental emergency. If necessary and if they haven\u2019t already, they\u2019ll give you the proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exceptionaldentistry.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">sedatives<\/a> to help you feel comfortable and to help them work efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other times, your emergency might require multiple visits. Your dentist won\u2019t send you home without relief for your symptoms, though. They might prescribe you medication or place a temporary cap over a broken tooth so it\u2019s not exposed to the food you eat. Either way, they\u2019ll help you take care of your teeth while you wait for your follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can ask your dentist questions at any point in the emergency dental care process. Part of their profession is helping patients feel good about the status of their teeth, so they\u2019re happy to address your concerns over the phone or in-office. Don\u2019t hesitate to contact your dentist for dental relief!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Drs.
