Types of Emergency Dental Services at Sunrise Dental

Our emergency dental care covers a wide range of urgent dental problems. Here’s what we commonly treat and how we approach each situation:

Severe Tooth Pain: Acute tooth pain can signal serious problems like deep decay or infection. We provide immediate pain relief and determine the underlying cause, often addressing it through treatments like emergency root canal therapy or dental restoration.
Dental Trauma: From knocked-out teeth to facial injuries, we offer urgent care for dental accidents. Quick action is essential, particularly for avulsed (knocked-out) teeth, where time is critical for successful re-implantation.
Broken or Cracked Teeth: Whether from injury or decay, damaged teeth require prompt attention to prevent infection and restore function. We offer same-day crowns and other restoration options to protect and preserve your tooth.
Root Canal Emergencies: Severe tooth pain often indicates the need for emergency root canal treatment. Our experienced team provides gentle, effective root canal therapy to eliminate infection and relieve pain.
Lost Fillings or Crowns: When dental work becomes damaged or dislodged, we offer quick replacement or repair to protect your tooth and restore comfort.
Dental Abscess: These serious infections require immediate treatment to prevent spread and relieve pain. We provide urgent care including drainage and antibiotic therapy when necessary.

FAQs

FAQs About Emergency Dentistry

Why Choose Sunrise Dental for Emergency Dental Care in Cary?

Any dental problem causing severe pain, bleeding, or acute infection requires emergency care. This includes knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and dental abscesses.

What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care. Time is critical for saving knocked-out teeth.

Should I go to the emergency room for a dental emergency?

Most dental emergencies are best handled by a dentist. However, if you experience severe facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing/swallowing, seek immediate emergency room care.

How can I prevent dental emergencies?

Regular dental check-ups, wearing protective mouthguards during sports, avoiding hard foods, and maintaining good oral hygiene help prevent many dental emergencies.
