What’s a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency can strike at any time, leaving you in pain, feeling frustrated or experiencing severe discomfort. We are here to help resolve any and all emergencies that you’re currently experiencing. We can work with both new and existing patients to provide the care and treatment that is needed. Our goal is to resolve the emergency so that you can get back to living your best life.
Why is treatment necessary for Dental Emergencies?
If you are considering forgoing treatment for an emergency, it’s best to be seen as soon as feasibly possible. Emergencies can get worse if they are not treated properly, which can cause a variety of problems long-term. An infection that’s ignored can become painful and cause tooth loss and even bone loss. A filling that has fallen out may eventually require the tooth to have a root canal. Treatment is important for all types of emergencies and it’s best to be seen as soon as you can get into the office.

What can you expect when being seen for a Dental Emergency?
We will work to make your emergency appointment as comfortable as possible. You’ll first come into our office and be seated in one of our rooms. Dr. Bright will examine the area and may order x-rays be taken, if needed. We will then devise a personalized treatment plan that helps to eliminate the dental emergency. In some cases, antibiotics are required if there is an infection within the mouth. Depending on the type of emergency, we may be able to provide treatment same-day or you may need to come back to have additional work completed. Our mission is to provide quick, convenient care for just about any emergency that we see.
If you’re experiencing any type of dental-related emergency, call us immediately at (330) 877-9935 and we’ll work to get you in as soon as possible.
