“Where can I get emergency dental care near me?” It’s a question that you’ll ask the next time your plans are interrupted by a throbbing toothache, a broken crown, or a lost filling. A dental emergency can cause pain and panic, and getting emergency dental care is essential for ending your agony and protecting your dental health.

Where to Find Your Local Emergency Dentist

Fortunately, great emergency dentists are available to relieve your suffering. Our compassionate emergency dentists in Crown Point can see you during regular office hours. Just give our emergency dental office a call when your symptoms surface, and we’ll do everything we can to provide comprehensive emergency dental care within the same day or as soon as possible. Our goal is to provide a diagnosis, relieve your pain, and evaluate your condition to see if further treatment is needed to prevent a recurrence.

We always try to provide dental emergencies with same-day treatment, but guarantee care within 48 hours.

What Are Emergency Dental Services?

Typical emergency dental services can include any type of urgent dental care that relieves sudden symptoms or prevents a minor problem from becoming a bigger one. Here are just a few of the services our dentists provide during normal business hours:

  • Emergency tooth extraction for unsalvageable teeth
  • Repair of broken, chipped, and fractured teeth
  • Restoration of lost crowns and dental fillings
  • Treatment of wisdom teeth pressure, pain, and facial swelling
  • Relief from orthodontic pain related to broken brackets or wires
  • Treatment of dental abscesses and other oral infections

Is It Time for Emergency Treatment?

How will I know if my symptoms require finding emergency dental care near me?

Emergency dental care may be required if you have any of the symptoms or dental conditions listed below.

Broken or Fractured Teeth

If you bite into your food and feel or hear something crack, you may have a broken or fractured tooth. Cover any sharp tooth edges with dental wax to protect your mouth, and call us as soon as possible.

Knocked-Out Teeth

If your tooth is knocked out during a ball game, our emergency dentists know exactly what to do. However, how you handle the tooth can help determine whether we can save it. Call us as soon as possible for instructions. In general, you’ll need to find all pieces of your tooth, rinse them with warm water, and avoid touching the tooth root. If you can’t place your tooth back into the socket, store it safely inside your check until you can get to the office.

Severe Toothaches

Severe pain and pressure from a toothache is miserable. If it’s accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, ear pain, jaw pain, or swelling, the underlying cause could be serious. Contact us as soon as you can to obtain an appointment.

Tooth Sensitivity

You probably don’t need urgent dental care for everyday sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures. However, if your symptoms appear suddenly and for no apparent reason, there may be a more serious underlying process at work. Severe and sudden tooth sensitivity should be addressed immediately.

Tooth Decay and Cavities

Emergency dentists see cavities caused by tooth decay every day. Cavities usually develop over time, but painful symptoms can develop suddenly when a tooth root is exposed. Our dentists can determine the extent of decay and recommend treatments to repair the tooth.

Abscessed Tooth

Gum disease, trauma and decay can contribute to the formation of a serious dental infection called an abscessed tooth. It usually begins at the root of the tooth. In addition to severe tooth pain, you may experience significant facial swelling, fever, open sores, foul-smelling drainage, or even swollen glands in your neck area. If you think that you may have an abscessed tooth, call our emergency dental office immediately. Delaying treatment can lead to serious complications.

Lost or Loose Fillings

If your filling gets loose or falls out, you may notice some pain and sensitivity. It’s important to get treatment promptly to prevent further damage to the unprotected tooth.

Broken Crowns or Lost Restorations

Breaking a crown or losing a restoration is more than just a cosmetic disaster. The exposed teeth are put at increased risk of permanent damage. Our emergency dentists can provide permanent or temporary solutions to keep your smile looking great and your dental health intact.

Orthodontic Pain or Injuries

When metal components malfunction or break, braces can cause oral pain and injury. We can treat the symptoms and repair your orthodontic devices to prevent any further irritation.

Damage to Tooth Enamel from Teeth Grinding

Many people unconsciously grind their teeth. Over time, this behavior destroys the outer layers of tooth enamel. We can help by fortifying your enamel and providing the tools you need to stop teeth grinding in its tracks.

Sinus Pressure

Sinus pressure isn’t always related directly to the sinuses. In some cases, dental problems can produce the same symptom. If you’re experiencing unexplained sinus pressure, we can help solve the mystery by looking for possible dental causes such as impacted teeth or untreated infections.

How to Manage Critical Problems

If I have a critical emergency, should I look for an emergency dental office near me or go to the hospital?

Although they are equipped to handle serious dental problems, emergency dentists in Crown Point can’t provide lifesaving care for a potentially dangerous medical problem. If you are experiencing severe bleeding or swelling, or you’ve been involved in an accident and sustained a serious injury to your head, jaw, neck, or face, please proceed to a hospital emergency room or call 911 immediately.

How Much Does Emergency Dental Care Cost?

The cost of emergency care depends on what types of tests and treatments are required to manage the condition. When you choose our emergency dentists, we work with you to make your payments as easy and affordable as possible. We accept major credit cards and most dental insurance plans. Convenient financing options are also available. If you don’t have insurance, you may be interested in our DentRite® discount plan, which provides significant savings on all types of dental services, including emergency treatment and preventative care. Everyone is approved, and your family is also covered by your membership.

My emergency occurred at night. Should I just wait until the emergency dental office near me opens?

If your dental emergency involves severe pain or a problem that could become serious if treatment is delayed, don’t wait to obtain care from emergency dentists on the following day. Instead, proceed to the emergency room or after-hours clinic to get the appropriate care to ease your suffering and protect your health. When your symptoms arise during normal office hours, our emergency dentists in Crown Point will be there to provide the comprehensive care and relief that you need.
