Emergency Pain Relief

In cases of dental emergencies as a result of incidents in the home, car accidents and participation in sporting activities, patients may seek emergency pain relief to alleviate discomfort.

Some dental damage can wait until an appointment, but in certain cases wherein the pulp in a broken tooth is visible, prompt medical attention is advised. Dental abscess (there is a collection of pus in a tooth) is usually accompanied by a severe and throbbing toothache, swelling of the gum, fever, and (in severe cases) spasm of the jaw and difficulty in breathing and swallowing. This condition requires immediate treatment not only to relieve the pain but also to prevent possible loss of the affected tooth.

Aside from providing pain relief, emergency dental solutions also include services such as smoothing a chipped tooth, creating a temporary filling or dressing an infected tooth.
