You were enjoying lunch with your coworkers, when you felt that telltale crunch back on your molar. Now that you’re back at the office, your tooth is starting to ache. Is this a dental emergency? Should you contact your dentist? Dental emergencies happen in different ways, and some are more frightening than others, but a good rule of thumb is to always contact your emergency dentist in Cupertino if you have pain, or what you think might be an emergency situation. Here are some common dental emergencies, and what you can do until you reach our office.
In stressful situations, it may seem like a good idea to head to the nearest hospital emergency room; however, it’s important to note that hospitals are not equipped to handle dental emergencies and they won’t be able to give your teeth the care and attention they need. You will likely end up back at your dentist anyway, so save yourself time, money, and stress by calling your dentist first.
If you or a loved one is having a dental emergency, we provide the care you need at Alpine Dental Care. Don’t hesitate to call us with questions as we are happy to provide instructions over the phone if possible.
We offer convenient morning and evening appointments and we’ll see you as soon as possible.
