What Should I Do During a Tooth Emergency?
There’s never a good time to experience a tooth emergency. The good news is that we offer same-day emergency dental care if you call our office by 10 am. Our emergency dentist in Wyoming, Michigan, is accepting new patients and is ready to help restore your oral health.
Here’s what to do in the event of a tooth emergency.
Don’t Go to the ER
The hospital is not equipped to handle a dental emergency. The most they’ll be able to do for you is prescribe antibiotics and pain relievers. While this may relieve some of your dental pain, it won’t cure the source of the problem. For that, you’ll need to schedule an appointment with our emergency dentist.
Only a dentist can extract a tooth or perform any other type of dental work. That’s why it’s important to call Bowtie Dental as soon as possible if you’re experiencing a tooth emergency. The longer you wait, the more the dental pain will intensify. You’ll also increase your risk of needing an emergency tooth extraction.
