A dental emergency is a problem that requires immediate attention and prompt care. Receiving emergency services can potentially prevent more severe symptoms or dental complications. We recommend visiting a dentist only if you have no additional injuries. If you require medical care, please contact a hospital; we can address your dental needs once you’re healthy. During business hours, we also provide general dental care for patients in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Emergency Dentistry Services in Port Charlotte, FL
If you are looking for an emergency dentist, Dr. Ariosto Rosado welcomes patients needing immediate care. We make every effort to provide prompt dental services as needed based on your specific concerns. Emergency dentistry is a part of the comprehensive general dental care Dr. Rosado offers patients in Port Charlotte, FL. Some of the most common dental emergencies Dr. Rosado treats include:
Lost Permanent Tooth
Losing a permanent tooth can affect your smile’s full function and comfort. If you have just knocked out a tooth, try to recover and clean the tooth. You may attempt to place the tooth back in its socket or transport it to us in a cup of saliva. If we cannot reattach the tooth, we will recommend a dental implant or other restoration.
Damaged Tooth
A deep crack or fracture in one or more teeth can expose the tooth’s root to decay and increase sensitivity and pain. To prevent further damage, a restoration to cover a damaged tooth is important. If you have just damaged a tooth, rinse your mouth with water and apply pressure to the tooth with a clean cloth. Visit our office, and we will provide you with a restoration.
Lost or Broken Restoration
Contact our office if you damage or lose a dental crown, bridge, or denture. We provide prompt, professional denture repair service with our in-house lab so you are out the door and back to your busy schedule as quickly as possible. You don’t have to face the embarrassment of broken dentures, crowns, or bridges. We can help you regain your smile and confidence on the same day.
Tooth Pain
There are many common causes of tooth pain, from tooth damage to cavities. Dental infections and cavities are the most common causes of toothaches and tooth pain. If patients experience severe tooth pain, we can provide emergency root canals. A root canal removes infected nerves, vessels, and cells within the tooth.
We will perform a dental extraction if severe decay is present and the tooth cannot be saved. Our office ensures that patients feel comfortable during extractions, providing local anesthetic and dental sedation.
Are Dental Emergencies Preventable?
Emergencies can be preventable with the right care. For instance, wearing a custom-made mouthguard for contact sports can prevent tooth damage or loss. Casing these bad habits can prevent tooth pain and damage if you chew your nails or chew on ice. Vising the dentist regularly can also potentially catch dental problems early on to prevent future complications. We can also provide tips to keep your teeth healthy at home.
