When an unexpected dental emergency strikes, you need relief fast, and Sterling Family Dentistry in North Delta is here to help. Common dental emergencies such as a cracked or broken tooth or an abscess on your gum can be very painful, but pain is not the only indicator of the need for emergency action. For example, a loose crown may not cause physical discomfort, but it should be re-cemented as soon as possible to prevent adjacent teeth from drifting. Likewise, a broken tooth may or may not be painful, but it should still be fixed as quickly as possible. 

Treatment Options

Treatment of a dental emergency varies, depending on the specific underlying condition. Inflammation and infection can usually be alleviated with the use of antibiotics and pain relievers, while a broken or chipped tooth might require a filling, a veneer, or a crown. Your Surrey dentist will work with you to devise an appropriate treatment plan to restore you to full function and comfort.

Although many dental emergencies involve pain, a large number of emergencies are pain-free. If you have lost a filling but aren’t feeling any pain, it may still constitute a dental emergency. We treat dental emergencies based on cosmetic and health concerns. The most common dental emergencies include the following:

• Toothaches or Abscess
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Extruded (partially dislodged) teeth
• Lost filling
• Lost crown
• Injury to the gums, tongue, cheeks, and lips that results in bleeding
