Emergency Dental Treatment in Ashton, MD

At Ashton Family Dentistry & Orthodontics in Ashton, MD, we understand the urgency and concern that come with dental emergencies. Our dedicated team is prepared to provide immediate, compassionate care to address your dental emergencies promptly, helping to alleviate pain and prevent further complications. 

Common Dental Emergencies We Handle

Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, our practice is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies for adolescents, teens, and adults. We prioritize emergency cases, ensuring quick access to care when you need it most.

  • Toothaches: Sudden or severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue. We provide swift diagnosis and treatment to relieve pain and address the cause.
  • Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth: Accidents happen, and when they affect your teeth, immediate care can be crucial in saving the tooth and preventing infection.
  • Knocked-Out Teeth: Time is of the essence in cases of avulsed (knocked-out) teeth. Proper emergency care can significantly increase the chances of reimplantation.
  • Lost Fillings or Crowns: We can quickly address lost fillings or crowns to restore function and comfort while preventing further damage to the tooth.
  • Dental Abscesses: Infections in or around the tooth require prompt treatment to prevent the spread of infection and alleviate pain. 

What to Do If You Experience a Dental Emergency

  • Stay Calm: Keeping calm helps you think more clearly and take the necessary steps more effectively.
  • Contact Us Immediately: Call our office as soon as possible. We offer guidance on immediate actions to take and arrange for your prompt care.
  • Follow Temporary Measures: Until you can reach our office, certain actions can be taken to alleviate pain and prevent further damage, such as rinsing with warm water or applying a cold compress. 

Preventing Dental Emergencies

While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, attending regular dental check-ups and maintaining good oral hygiene can significantly reduce the risk of sudden dental issues. We also provide custom sports mouthguards to protect against dental injuries during physical activities.
