Experiencing a dental emergency can be quite nerve-wracking, but having a plan for seeking treatment ahead of time can help calm your anxiety. When one of your teeth is fully knocked out, the stress of preserving your tooth and placing it back in your mouth can be high. Because an injury of this nature is the result of serious physical trauma, maintaining a clear head may be difficult when minutes matter most. In fact, your ability to quickly meet with an emergency dentist can make the difference in placing your tooth back in your mouth.
At your Prairie Village, KS dental practice, we provide emergency care to treat your dental injuries. Because you generally cannot predict these events, having our number on hand can streamline getting care as quickly as possible. Call us any time of day to speak to our staff and arrange the repair of your injured tooth. When you experience a knocked-out tooth or any other dental harm, we can give instructions on treating your pain and protecting against further damage until you can come in for treatment. We will attempt to return your tooth to your mouth when possible, and if not, explore prosthetic solutions to help restore your bite.
