Dental emergencies can be quite serious. When people come in at dental emergencies, typically it’s because they’re having pain and usually there is an infection associated with that pain. Left untreated, those infections can become very serious and can spread to the rest of your body and, you know, make you sick.
So dental emergencies are not something to be played with. If you’re having pain or any type of swelling, it’s important that you get to a dentist immediately so that way it can be resolved so it doesn’t result in something more serious and systemic. One of my favorite things to do is help patients with dental emergencies because they’re usually coming in with pain.
By being able to take them out of pain and removing any possible associated infection with that pain, that’s going to make them feel significantly, significantly better. Sedation dentistry can help with dental emergencies by making the procedure and appointment much more comfortable. A lot of patients that come in with dental emergencies sometimes haven’t been in the dentist in a while because of fear or anxiety and because of the IV sedation that we offer here, we’re able to get them out of that pain and make it up as comfortable as possible.
