The general description of a dental emergency Mississauga is a situation where the pain, bleeding, and infection are so great that you can't wait until normal operating hours to have a dentist see you. Dental emergencies Mississauga may include:
Sports injuries to the mouth
Other accidents that damage teeth and mouth
Infections where the mouth or jaw is swollen
Broken, chipped, or missing teeth
This may happen through a sports doctor or a paramedic in an accident. Those with severe tooth pain should take note of when their symptoms started and take their temperature to make sure the infection isn't spreading.
The priority, if you have damage to your mouth is to stop the bleeding with paper towels or napkins. Put ice on the area.
This isn't always possible but pick it up and put it somewhere safe to take to the dentist if you can. Sometimes, a dentist can restore it if they have the tooth and the procedure is done quickly.
We have after-hours appointments and can meet you.
Those who are in pain or with a damaged mouth should have someone drive them to their dental emergency Mississauga appointment. You don't know what procedures will happen and the type of medicine given at the dentist's office so it's best to have a driver. Plus, the pain may distract you from driving.
Dental emergency appointments aren’t like routine appointments. The purpose is to primarily treat the pain and let a dentist address the problem during normal working hours.
A dentist will first take X-rays to see the extent of damage or infection. They will do an exam and then offer recommendations for procedures. They will address bleeding and may stitch up a wound. They will likely give you antibiotics and pain relievers.
Someone in the office will then make an appointment or tell you when to come back to address the problem with a procedure.
