Cottage Lake Emergency Dentist

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, causing severe pain and anxiety. At Eckland Family Dentistry, we understand that dental pain doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why we provide prompt emergency dental services for Cottage Lake residents and surrounding communities.

What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies require immediate attention to relieve pain, save a tooth, or address a serious infection. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe Toothache: Persistent, throbbing pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter pain relievers
• Knocked-Out Tooth: A tooth that has been completely dislodged from its socket
• Cracked or Fractured Tooth: A tooth with visible damage or severe pain when biting
• Lost Filling or Crown: When a restoration becomes dislodged, leaving the tooth vulnerable
• Dental Abscess: A painful infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and tooth
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or lacerations to the lips, cheeks, mouth, or tongue
• Broken Jaw: Suspected fracture or severe misalignment of the jaw
• Objects Caught Between Teeth: Items that cause pain and cannot be removed with floss

Our Emergency Dental Services in Cottage Lake

At Eckland Family Dentistry, we prioritize emergency cases and strive to provide same-day appointments whenever possible. Our emergency dental services include:

Immediate Pain Relief

Our first priority is to alleviate your pain. We utilize advanced techniques and appropriate medications to ensure you’re comfortable while we address the underlying issue.

Tooth Preservation

When a tooth has been knocked out or severely damaged, time is of the essence. Our team is trained in the latest tooth preservation techniques, maximizing the chances of saving your natural tooth.

Treatment of Infections

Dental infections can spread quickly and become serious health concerns if left untreated. Our emergency protocols include effective infection management to protect your overall health.

Restoration of Damaged Teeth

Whether you’ve lost a filling, broken a crown, or fractured a tooth, we provide emergency restorative services to repair the damage and prevent further complications.

Follow-Up Care Plans

After addressing the immediate emergency, we’ll develop a comprehensive follow-up plan to ensure complete recovery and prevent future issues.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency Before Reaching Our Office

For a Knocked-Out Tooth:

1. Handle the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface), not the root
2. Rinse the tooth gently with water if it’s dirty (don’t scrub or remove any attached tissue)
3. Try to place the tooth back in its socket if possible
4. If you can’t reinsert it, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk, a tooth preservation product, or between your cheek and gum
5. Get to our office within 30 minutes if possible for the best chance of saving the tooth

For a Severe Toothache:

1. Rinse your mouth with warm water
2. Use dental floss to remove any food trapped between teeth
3. Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed (avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums)
4. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for swelling
5. Contact our office immediately

For a Cracked or Broken Tooth:

1. Rinse your mouth with warm water
2. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
3. Take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed
4. Cover any sharp edges with dental wax if available
5. Call our office right away
