The Importance Of Immediate Dental Emergency Care
Seeking immediate care for a dental emergency is essential to prevent further complications. What may seem like a minor issue can quickly turn into a serious concern.

What To Expect During A Dental Emergency Treatment
When you come in for a dental emergency, the first step is to discuss the issue you're facing. We'll ask detailed questions to help us understand the severity of the problem and determine whether an x-ray is needed. If necessary, we will quickly take an x-ray to examine the affected area.
Once we review the x-ray results, we will assess the underlying cause of the issue and begin the appropriate treatment to prevent further complications. If an infection is present, we may prescribe antibiotics to help manage it and speed up recovery.
