Services Available at Dental Delights

Dental emergencies happen for several reasons. It can be from grinding our teeth or biting into something the wrong way. It can be from decay over time, or an unexpected accident. Whatever the cause, Dr. Jain at Dental Delights can find the solution. We provide services in:

• Emergency Dental Situations- Accidents that involve your face, jaw, or mouth can often create situations where a tooth is broken, chipped, or completely knocked out. These situations are all unique and require expert examination. Dr. Jain will be able to assess the extent of the damage to the tooth, surrounding teeth, gum, and blood vessels.
• Toothaches- A toothache can develop for several reasons. Many patients turn to over-the-counter remedies without realizing the toothache will only get worse in time. This is because a toothache is often a symptom of a larger concern. Early assessment is the best solution for long-term healing and pain relief.
• Gum Pain- pain or tenderness in the gums or along the gum line is usually a symptom of a larger issue within the deeper tissue of the gums. Dr. Jain will be able to properly assess the real issue of the pain, providing quick and effective alleviation.
• Extractions- An extraction is the complete removal of a tooth to prevent further damage or infection. This is usually a last resort and happens when a tooth is too decayed or damaged for a successful repair.
• Root Canal- A root canal can help protect from an extraction procedure. A root canal is performed when a tooth is damaged or decayed, but with a proper reconnection to the root, can be revived and remain. Teeth that go through a root canal procedure often also require a crown.
• Filling and crown replacement- Your fillings or crown have an important job to do. They protect against further damage or decay and allow you to retain your natural teeth. If one of these becomes loose or falls out, it is important to have it replaced as soon as possible. This helps to prevent any further damage or decay to the tooth, as well as alleviate any pain associated with the missing piece.
• Jaw Swelling- Your dental health is much more than just your teeth. It also involves the entire structure of your face and mouth. Jaw tenderness or swelling can be a sign of infection within the tissue and bone of the jaw. This area is vital in providing structure for your teeth. To prevent further infection, it is important to see Dr. Jain at Dental Delights as soon as possible.

Avoiding a Dental Emergency

While not all emergencies are avoidable, many can be prevented with proper routine measures. One step that may seem obvious, but is commonly neglected, is daily dental care at home. You must commit to proper brushing and flossing to prevent a dental emergency situation. Another important step is committing to regular 6-month cleanings with Dental Delights. This provides Dr. Jain a running tab on your oral health. She will then be able to detect any warning signs of potential larger issues ahead.

If you are involved in high-contact sports, it would also be beneficial to invest in custom-fitting mouthguards that can protect your teeth against accidental blows.
