We define a dental emergency as any oral condition which is causing you pain, bleeding, or discomfort, and that you cannot treat on your own. While this includes some obvious conditions like a loose tooth or a tooth that has been knocked out, it also includes things like a serious toothache that may have been bothering you for a few days, a pulled-out filling, and even cases of severe gum disease.
If you think your oral condition is an emergency, it probably is. Don’t risk your oral health! Contact us right away for a same-day emergency consultation. You can reach us at (972) 442-7550 or feel free to stop by our office at 703 E FM 544, Suite 100, Murphy, TX.
The most common category of dental emergency is pulled-out, missing, or damaged dental work. It’s quite common for dental work (such as fillings or crowns) to become damaged or displaced, and this can be a serious issue. The enamel below your dental work is vulnerable to decay and damage, so if you do not get help right away, your issue can become much worse.
Other common dental emergencies are oral injuries. Lacerations to the lips, gums, and tongue are common, as are loose, knocked-out, and impacted teeth. Chips and cracks in the teeth are also a serious emergency. Chronic or severe toothaches are a common dental emergency that our Murphy dentists treat quite often at Parkside Dental. If you have a serious toothache, it may indicate an infected tooth, which must be treated with a root canal as soon as possible to avoid the eventual loss of your tooth.
Yes! If possible, we ask that you give us a call at (972) 442-7550 before you come in so that we can properly prepare for your visit before you arrive. However, we often have space in our schedule set aside for emergencies, so you can also walk into our office. We will treat you as soon as we can!
So, you’ve called Parkside Dental and you’re coming into our office to get the same-day emergency dental care you need in Murphy, Wylie or surrounding areas. What should you bring to your appointment with Dr. Jason Larsen? Here are a few things you’ll want to have with you during your consultation.
The answer is “yes.” Though ERs don’t usually have dentists on staff and will be more expensive compared to coming to Parkside Dental, you should always go to the ER if you think your life is in danger due to a dental issue. Always use your best judgment.
For example, if you experience serious trauma to your face and you think your jaw is broken, you should go to the ER immediately. Or, if you have any kind of facial trauma, swelling, or other issue that’s interfering with proper swallowing or breathing, you should go to the ER right away.
First and foremost, you need to understand that avoiding dental care for an emergency will cost you more in the long run. For example, if you crack a tooth while eating a piece of ice or some almonds, you may be able to restore your tooth immediately with a dental crown at Parkside Dental, and avoid further complications.
But if you don’t seek emergency care right away in Murphy, your tooth could become infected, causing you a lot of pain and discomfort. You will likely need a root canal to fix it, or you may even lose your tooth and require tooth replacement with a dental implant. Both of these are much more costly procedures.
So don't let lack of insurance stop you from getting the dental care you need. At Parkside Dental, we do our best to provide you with affordable treatment, and we offer financing options for all patients.
We even have an in-house dental membership plan, which covers the cost of basic preventive care, and gives you a big discount of up to 20-50% off other treatments, so consider signing up for this plan if you don’t have insurance.
