Facing the prospect of emergency dental work can be quite daunting, often filled with anxiety about the unknowns and the urgency of the situation.

Boise Dentistry Co is here to provide same-day and after-hours treatment to give you help right when you need it. Don’t hesitate to call in our dental team as soon as a complication arises so we can get you on our schedule.

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Play

Dental emergencies are any situation with your smile that requires immediate treatment. Some examples of dental emergencies may include the following:

  • Broken Teeth: Restoring broken teeth as soon as they occur is essential in preserving the rest of your smile and preventing misaligned teeth.
  • Signs of Infection: Signs of infection, such as swelling, constitute significant dental damage. Don’t hesitate to give our office a call to handle these concerns.
  • Severe Pain: Debilitating toothaches are often a sign of significant tooth decay or infection. Call our office immediately to receive necessary attention.

Receive Comfort and Care

It is essential in the event of a dental emergency that you are in an environment where you feel validated and supported. Boise Dentistry Co strives to meet our patients where they are at in a judgment-free, results-oriented setting.

Smile Makeovers

Emergency dentistry can frequently warrant the need to perform multiple dental procedures all at once. In these cases, our smile makeover technique can be greatly beneficial. Instead of focusing on one service for each visit, smile makeovers allow our team to efficiently plan out treatment in stages for a more improved, long-term outcome.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry is another way we strive to take care of our patients in the Ada County area. Sedation dentistry is a medical tool that inhibits pain and discomfort while a dental procedure takes place. Patients under dental sedation are able to focus more on treatment, and our team is able to perform services with more effective, long-lasting outcomes.

Feel free to call our dental office to learn more about how sedation dentistry can meet your needs.

Avoiding Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies are often preventable by paying special attention to your oral care. Here are some general tips on things we would recommend to avoid these situations:

  • Routine Checkups: Regular visits to your dentist for examinations and cleanings are crucial for early detection of potential problems before they escalate into emergencies. They help identify issues like cavities or gum issues that can be treated preventively.
  • Oral Hygiene: Maintain consistent daily brushing and flossing to remove plaque and food particles. This special attention significantly reduces your risk of cavities, gum infections, and pain and tooth loss. Good hygiene is your first line of defense.
  • Mouthguard Use: If participating in sports or activities with a risk of facial impact, always wear a custom-fitted mouthguard to protect your teeth. This attention can prevent fractured teeth, dislodged teeth, or soft tissue injuries. 
  • Avoid Bad Habits: Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, popcorn kernels, or non-food items. These habits can lead to cracked teeth, chipped enamel, or damaged previous dental work.
