Most people have wisdom teeth, or third molars. Many, if not most people have difficulty keeping them clean or don’t have room in their mouths for their wisdom teeth to completely break through their gums. This can lead to many problems, including cavities, and misaligned teeth.
Though we can’t always see our wisdom teeth, they can cause us acute and unexpected pain due to decay or infection. They may remain fully or partially hidden beneath the gums due to a lack of space in the mouth.
Though they often remain below the gumline, wisdom teeth can partially grow outside your gums, leading to tooth decay. This can cause substantial pain if the decay infects the tooth or if the infection spreads to surrounding areas. If you are experiencing wisdom tooth pain, you should consult a dentist right away. Emergency Dental Care USA in Miramar, FL can treat any tooth infection you may have and, if needed, extract the tooth or teeth.
Even if you think you know the cause, the first step to treating the cause of a toothache or other dental emergency is an exam and x-rays.
There might be visible signs of problems with your teeth or gums, such as swelling or a broken tooth. Pain in your mouth may also be present, from mild to very bad. It takes a dentist to fully understand what’s happening. Taking x-rays and performing an oral exam is where they will begin.
The only way to identify the cause your dental issues, and determine how Emergency Dental Care in Miramar can help you is to get an exam and x-rays.
An important point to remember is that tooth pain may sometimes temporarily go away, but until the cause has been identified and fixed by a dentist the pain will usually return. Left untreated, dental problems can quickly lead to additional complications resulting in more extensive and expensive treatment, or even the loss of your tooth (or multiple teeth).
Our focus is on providing emergency, same-day dentistry, but we also understand preventive dentistry is very important to dental health and wellness. That’s why we recommend regular dental exams at least twice a year and x-rays whenever it’s determined you need them. Making sure you get a dental exam every six months is one of the best ways to avoid future dental issues.
Our fees
Emergency Exam and X-ray Evaluation Starting at $99
A limited exam looks at a limited portion of your mouth. We use limited exams when the problem is isolated to one location or problem point.
Comprehensive Dental Exam – $150
Comprehensive exams look at the entire mouth. Instead of taking x-rays of just a problematic area, we take a series of full-mouth x-rays. Comprehensive dental exams can identify current problems, and spot other dental problems before they become more expensive, painful, and problematic.
What to expect at Emergency Dental Care USA
A targeted or comprehensive exam and X-rays (your choice).
Same-day relief whenever possible.
A simple plan with upfront costs.
Call, book online, or walk in for a same-day exam.
If you have an abscess, or tooth infection, a tooth extraction may be necessary.
Emergency Dental Care USA in Miramar usually advocates for repairing and saving a tooth whenever possible. This includes performing a root canal and/or placing a crown. However sometimes that’s not possible, and the best course of action is to pull a tooth. If a tooth extraction is needed, our emergency dentists can expertly remove your tooth and keep you comfortable during the process using local anesthetics and attentive care.
If a tooth or teeth need to be removed but aren’t easily reached by the emergency dentist, a surgical extraction may be necessary. Like normal tooth extractions, we make sure to keep you comfortable and send you home with post-operative instructions to help you recover quickly.
Nearly everyone experiences tooth pain at some point. They can be crippling, and left untreated, can lead to very serious infections.
When you have a toothache or pain around your teeth/gums/jaw, it may be the result of a variety of oral problems. These include dental cavities, cracked or chipped teeth, exposed tooth roots, gum disease, a dental abscess or infection, and several other conditions. Some of these are more urgent and serious than others, but all can cause pain and discomfort. Whether you have a dull, aching tooth pain that lingers, or a sharper, more urgent pain, a toothache merits attention.
Emergency Dental Care USA in Miramar is your urgent care dentist, and we’re here day and night for you when you have a toothache and need assistance. If your tooth pain feels like an emergency – it probably is! Call us today to get treatment and avoid future dental problems.
