Emergency New Patient Information
When dental emergencies happen, patients at EMERGENCY DENTIST BEAVERTON & DENTAL IMPLANTS know they have someone to turn to for help Dr. John Lee and his knowledgeable dental team are always here when patients need us. In fact, we can typically provide treatment for patients on the same day that they call during dental emergencies. If for any reason we’re unable to see patients on the day they contact us, we’ll walk them through at-home care and pain management over the phone. If you’re not sure whether or not your situation requires urgent dental care, we encourage you to contact our team anyway. We’ll discuss the situation with you over the phone and help you determine what the best course of action may be.
Some of the oral health emergencies we see most often include:
-
Knocked-out teeth or dental restorations
-
Broken, chipped, cracked teeth or dental restorations
-
Broken or bent dentures
-
Toothache that may be indicative of more severe dental concerns
In some cases, patients can avoid emergencies by changing habits. That includes discontinuing any habits like pencil, nail, or ice chewing that may lead to damage. We also recommend patients avoid using their teeth as a tool to open packages or crack nuts. Most importantly, maintaining a complete daily oral hygiene routine that includes thorough brushing and flossing will protect and strengthen your smile. If you’re ever concerned your emergency is life-threatening, don’t hesitate to contact us, but we encourage you to seek care at your local emergency clinic.
