Emergency Dentist Boulder County
Our urgent dental care staff in Lafayette, Colorado, is committed to helping patients who are experiencing a dental emergency!
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, anywhere, and they often come with severe tooth pain. Even then, we are here to help you feel at ease.
Let us take the stress out of your dental emergency. Give us a call, and we can get you in for treatment as soon as possible.
What is a Dental Emergency?
Sometimes it can be hard to tell if you or a loved one needs to see a dentist right away. You’re always welcome to call, but this list of common dental emergencies may help you determine how urgent your need is:
- A knocked-out tooth
- Severe tooth pain that makes eating and sleeping difficult
- Loose permanent teeth
- Tooth out of alignment due to injury
- A chipped tooth or cracked tooth
- A fractured tooth
- Injury to the soft tissue or the gums
- Persistent facial pain that occurs around your mouth or jaw
- Persistent bleeding from mouth or gums
- An abscessed tooth or tooth infection
- Fractured facial bones
- An object stuck between teeth
- A bad bite on the tongue or lip
- Dry socket that occurs after a tooth extraction
If a fracture is severe, especially in the jaw, we recommend contacting your nearest emergency room.
Many dental emergencies can give you a severe toothache and may come with other uncomfortable symptoms like fever or nausea. Don’t just suffer through your toothache! We can take care of you right here in Boulder County.
The Benefits of Emergency Treatment
Simply put, having treatment sooner relieves your pain sooner.
Getting immediate treatment also prevents the issue from getting worse. Dental emergencies can escalate quickly, becoming full-mouth or even full-body infections. Tooth chips or cracks can grow larger in a matter of days. We want to prevent your dental trauma from causing you more pain or discomfort. Emergency visits are often the answer.
Grab Some Ice and Give Us a Call!
Our urgent dental care team wants to remove the stress that comes with dental emergencies by providing all of our patients with quick and reliable emergency dentistry care. We don’t want you to suffer from tooth pain or injury just because you don’t have an appointment.
Our emergency dentist office is open for longer hours than other dental practices because we care about patients’ health and safety. Contact us for an immediate appointment.
In the meantime, an ice pack or over-the-counter pain medication can soothe tooth pain and reduce swelling. Rest assured that you are in good hands with our emergency dentists. Together we can repair dental problems and relieve your pain.
Same-Day Crowns for Emergencies
Sometimes a tooth sustains dental trauma that is best repaired with a crown. Severe cracks and chips should be treated quickly, but they can’t always be treated with a simple dental bonding. You can come in for an emergency dental appointment and you can leave with a restored tooth.
Our E4D crowns are not a quick and easy solution that will fall apart in a couple of years either. These crowns are intended for a lifetime of protection and cosmetic rejuvenation.
Relax in a Stressful Time With Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry can help you feel calm during your emergency dental treatment. Boulder County Smiles offers several kinds of sedation dentistry, some on demand so that you can have a better treatment experience.
We understand you might be stressed or worried because of your dental emergency. Don’t let it get to you. Instead, call us for your dental emergency needs, and ask about sedation!
