What Happens During an Emergency Dental Visit?

• Examination and Diagnosis

We will carry out a visual examination and also discuss your child’s dental concerns. We will consider their medical history, and if required, also perform an X-ray of their teeth and gums. After diagnosis, we will plan their treatment.

• Anesthesia

Before starting the procedure, we will numb their teeth with an anesthetic so that they may not feel pain while dealing with the dental emergency.

• Treatment

The type of treatment we choose depends upon the dental emergency. For instance, if they have lost their filling, we will restore it with a new one. In case of a loose tooth, we will attach it. If their braces break, we will set them properly. We also treat their tooth decay by removing the infection. If the dental emergency is pulpitis, we will treat it with a root canal.

• Medication

After discussing their medical history and the nature of the emergency, we will prescribe suitable medication. It includes painkillers to help them with pain management. If your child is suffering from a severe tooth infection, we will give them medicines to fight such infection.

• After Care

We will advise on the after-care after the emergency dental treatment to speed up their recovery. It includes following proper dental care, using ice packs, painkillers, and abstaining from certain eating habits. A regular follow-up is highly suggested so that we may monitor their healing.
