Emergency Appointments

Several reasons make people visit emergency dentists. It occurs unexpectedly and brings immense pain. In this situation, it is significant to schedule an emergency appointment as soon as possible. Dive deep into the article to know what an Emergency Appointment contains.

What Happens During Emergency Appointments?

Sometimes, patients are aware of the cause of the pain, especially when they have recently undergone surgery. However, most of them are unaware of the sudden pain. Hence, the examination is conducted to look for symptoms of gum inflammation or infection.

Other things that are included in the examination are the damage of the wisdom tooth or falling out of the crown.

  • Relief From Pain

People generally schedule emergency appointments when they encounter severe pain. During the appointment, the dentist will examine and identify the cause of pain and work very carefully to treat the pain. They might also prescribe specific medications like antibiotics after providing you with some in-office dental treatment.

During an emergency treatment, the dentist will provide you relief from the pain. But, that does not mean that the pain is eliminated permanently. It might take additional visits to fix the problem.
