North Las Vegas Dental Emergencies

What Dental Emergency Services Do We Offer In North Las Vegas?

Our Absolute Dental offices in North Las Vegas can help with different types of dental emergencies, including:

1. Severe Tooth Pain

A serious toothache is an obvious sign that something’s not quite right in your mouth. You may have an infection or other dental damage that could potentially get worse without treatment. Our team of emergency dentists will get to work to relieve the pain and figure out what is causing the toothache. Our treatment plans address the underlying issue and help patients get their dental health back on track.

2. Broken Or Cracked Teeth

A tooth can chip, fracture, or break if you experience a sudden impact or are chewing something particularly hard. When this happens, you run the risk of developing a painful infection that could eventually lead to more serious issues, including sepsis, if left untreated. Even if you think it’s not a big deal, you should see your dentist right away if you have a broken tooth.

3. Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency you should never ignore. When a tooth completely detaches from the socket, there is very limited time to save the tooth. If this happens to you, here’s what the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends to do:

• Avoid handling the tooth by the roots
• If possible, carefully place the tooth back in the socket
• If you can’t get it in the socket, you can place the tooth between your cheek and gums to keep it moist until you get help
• You can also preserve the tooth in milk
• See your dentist as soon as possible

4. Broken Braces Or Dental Restorations

If you have broken orthodontic gear or a damaged dental restoration, you should contact your dentist right away for treatment. Broken braces, including loose brackets or wires, can be dangerous if they are not repaired. Also, a loose or broken dental restoration could leave vulnerable teeth exposed to germs and infection. Our North Las Vegas offices can help with:

• Loose or cracked dental crowns
• Detached dental crowns
• Loose or cracked dental fillings
• Fillings that have fallen out of the tooth
• Damaged metal or ceramic braces

5. Objects Stuck Between Teeth

Sometimes food or other small objects will become lodged between the teeth or stuck in the gums. If left there, they could cause severe irritation, infections, or even tooth shifting. Our special dental instruments and tools can safely remove the object before it becomes a bigger problem.
