Albuquerque, NM – 04/04/24 – Toothaches, chipped teeth, and lost fillings – dental emergencies can strike at any time, causing pain and disruption to your daily routine. Recognizing the urgency of these situations, Uptown Dental Associates (https://uptowndentalassociates.com) is proud to announce the expansion of its services to include same-day appointments for dental emergencies.

Understanding Dental Emergencies: When to Seek Immediate Care

A dental emergency refers to any situation involving sudden or severe tooth or mouth pain, bleeding, or damage that requires immediate attention to prevent further complications or permanent damage. Here are some common dental emergencies that warrant same-day care:

Severe Toothache: A sudden, persistent throbbing pain in a tooth can signal a serious underlying problem like an abscess or infection.
Knocked-Out Tooth: Prompt action is crucial to preserve a knocked-out tooth. Following proper first-aid steps and seeking immediate dental care can increase the chances of successful reimplantation.
Chipped or Cracked Tooth: A chipped or cracked tooth can cause pain and sensitivity, and can potentially expose the inner pulp of the tooth to infection. Seeking same-day care can minimize damage and explore repair options.
Lost Filling or Crown: A lost filling or crown can leave the tooth vulnerable to decay and sensitivity. Same-day care can address the exposed tooth and potentially replace the lost filling or crown.
Excessive Bleeding: While minor bleeding after a dental procedure is normal, excessive bleeding requires immediate professional attention.
