What Is Emergency Dentistry and How Does It Work?

Emergency dentistry caters to patients grappling with unforeseen dental injuries, extreme pain, or distress. Think of it as the immediate first aid for your teeth. Here at Aglow Dental Studio in Reston, VA, we understand the urgency these situations demand. Thus, we've embedded a system that makes room for same-day emergency appointments. Whether it's a weekend or a late evening, your dental well-being is our priority.

1. Immediate Relief from Extreme Pain: A sudden toothache or dental injury can be overwhelming. Our dedicated team provides swift solutions, ensuring you're free from pain in no time.

2. Avoid Long-Term Damage: Addressing dental emergencies promptly can prevent more severe issues down the line.

3. Convenience: With flexible scheduling, including after-hours and weekends, you're always a call away from expert dental care.

What Should I Do if My Teeth are Bleeding?

It's not uncommon for bleeding to accompany dental injuries. By using sterile gauze and exerting gentle pressure, you can typically control the bleeding. Should it persist beyond an hour, however, it's vital to seek professional help.

Firstly, stay calm. Panicking will only exacerbate the situation. If you've had a tooth knocked out, carefully pick it up by the crown, rinse it with saline or milk, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that's not feasible, store it in a container of milk and hurry to our office. Time is of the essence in such scenarios!

How To Prevent Dental Emergencies?

Prevention is always better than cure. Regular check-ups at Aglow Dental Studio, coupled with a robust oral hygiene routine and using mouthguards during sports, can significantly mitigate the risk of dental emergencies.

Reduce swelling and pain with medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Avoid blood-thinning aspirins. Cold compresses can also offer relief. Once you've stabilized, give us a ring at (703) 651-6130. Dr. Rosemary, Dr. Ahanor, and the Aglow Dental Studio team are here to guide you through the next steps.

Emergencies are unpredictable, but with Aglow Dental Studio in Reston, VA, and our services extending to areas like Herndon, Sterling, and Vienna, you're always in safe hands. Remember, every dental challenge has a solution, and we're committed to finding yours.
