Understanding Urgent Dental Care

At Mount Hope Family Dentistry, we treat various dental emergencies, including but not limited to:


Toothaches

Often a sign of infection or decay, severe toothaches require urgent care. Treatment may involve anything from medication to more complex procedures like root canals.


Chipped or Broken Teeth

Depending on the severity, treatments include smoothing out minor chips or providing crowns, veneers, or bonding for more significant damage.


Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is critical. If you can get to us quickly, there’s a better chance we can reinsert and preserve your natural tooth.


Lost Fillings or Crowns

We can provide quick replacements or repairs to protect your tooth and restore functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?

Mount Hope Family Dentistry provides contact information for after-hours emergencies. We ensure that our patients have access to the necessary advice or direction regarding immediate actions until they can be seen by our team.

How can I tell if it’s a dental emergency?

If you are in severe pain, have lost a tooth, or have a major infection or bleeding, it’s a dental emergency. If you are uncertain, it’s better to call and describe your symptoms so we can guide you on the best course of action.

What can I do to manage pain before I get to the dentist?

Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort, but avoid applying aspirin directly to your gums as this can cause tissue damage. Applying a cold compress can also reduce swelling and pain.

Are there ways to prevent dental emergencies?

While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, maintaining regular check-ups can help identify and treat issues before they become urgent. Wearing mouthguards during sports and avoiding chewing hard foods and objects can also reduce risk.

Will my insurance cover emergency dental treatments?

Most dental insurance policies provide coverage for emergency care, but coverage details can vary. We can help you understand your benefits and will work with your insurance provider to claim any eligible treatments.
