What Patients are Saying About Our Emergency Dental Service:
There are no words to say how truly amazing, kind funny and caring all the staff is here. I came here with my boyfriend that was in such excruciating pain from an infected tooth, needing an extraction. I made the appointment the same day and got seen within 2 hours. When we arrived he was taken right away to get things started. Dr. Goodpaster’s work is amazing as well as numbing. They do such a good job at making sure you feel 100% comfortable. Their pricing is unbeatable coming from a low income. Anywhere else would have been even more expensive. We appreciate you and all your staff! :))
Emergency Dental Service Case Study:
At Still Waters Dentistry we prioritize meeting patients where they are in their oral hygiene journey. When a patient is seen for an emergency exam, we make every effort to provide treatment same day in order to relieve the pain they are experiencing. One patient was amazed at how quickly Dr. Goodpaster was able to treat him when he came in with severe pain. He was so excited about his experience that he wants to become a regular patient in our office and is looking forward to his next appointment.
What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, intense toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, and injuries to the gums or soft tissues.
What if my tooth gets knocked out?
If your tooth is knocked out, act quickly:
- Retrieve the Tooth: Carefully pick it up by the crown (the top part), not the root.
- Rinse: Gently rinse the tooth with water—avoid scrubbing or touching the root.
- Reinsert (if possible): If you can, try to place the tooth back into its socket and hold it there.
- Storage: If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in a container of milk or saline solution.
- Seek Emergency Care: Get to a dentist immediately for urgent care.
What if my tooth is loose but still attached?
If your tooth is loose but still attached:
- Avoid Wiggling or Touching the Tooth: Do not wiggle or touch the loose tooth to avoid causing further damage.
- Contact Still Waters Dentistry: Reach out immediately to schedule an emergency appointment.
- Receive Professional Care: We will evaluate your condition and provide the necessary treatment to stabilize the tooth.
What if I have a chipped or cracked tooth?
If you experience a chipped or cracked tooth:
- Rinse with Warm Water: Clean the area gently by rinsing your mouth with warm water.
- Apply a Cold Compress: Use a cold compress to reduce swelling around the affected area.
- Contact Still Waters Dentistry: Call immediately to schedule an emergency appointment.
- Receive Treatment: Depending on the severity of the damage, we may repair your tooth with bonding, a crown, or other appropriate treatments.
