Toothaches  

Is My Toothache a Dental Emergency? Oftentimes, patients put off scheduling an appointment until their symptoms are severe. However, the longer you wait, the more time the root of the problem has to progress. For this reason, we recommend getting in touch with us when you first notice that something is wrong, like persistent sensitivity or pain when biting down.

How You Should Handle a Toothache Until your appointment with us, avoid doing anything that could exacerbate your symptoms or damage your tooth, like chewing on that side of your mouth. Instead, rinse with warm saltwater periodically, eat bland foods, like plain yogurt, and take OTC pain medication as directed.

How We Treat Toothaches Oftentimes, the root of the problem is decay. In that case, we can restore the look, health, and function of your tooth with a filling, crown, or root canal. Ultimately, the restorative treatment that’s best for you will depend on a few factors, including the extent of the damage.

Chipped Teeth  

Is a Chipped Tooth a Dental Emergency? That depends largely on the severity of the damage and your symptoms. If the chip is substantial and you’re dealing with persistent pain, discomfort, or sensitivity, you should call us ASAP to schedule an appointment.

How You Should Handle a Chipped Tooth First, use clean, room-temperature water to gently rinse. Then, place some sugar-free gum over your tooth to prevent it from breaking further and the soft tissue in your mouth from getting cut. Don’t chew on that side of your mouth either!

How We Treat Chipped Teeth Cosmetic dental bonding is a great option for patients with minor chips. More substantial ones usually require a veneer, which can last for 10+ years with proper care and maintenance.

Cracked Tooth  

Is a Cracked Tooth a Dental Emergency? Yes, even if the crack is relatively minor! Remember, the more time that passes, the higher the chances are of the tooth breaking further and developing an infection. We want to provide the restorative care you need before that happens.

How You Should Handle a Cracked Tooth Calling us to schedule an emergency exam is an important first step. After that appointment is on the calendar, transition your focus to protecting your tooth, like not chewing on that side of your mouth and rinsing periodically with clean, room-temperature water.

How We Treat Cracked Teeth At our Mesa dental office, Dr. Julian will complete a comprehensive oral exam, determine the extent of the damage, and review your treatment options. If your tooth can be saved, then the solution will likely be a dental crown. If it can’t, then we will extract the tooth and replace it with a dental bridge or implant instead.
