Emergency Dental Care at Innovation Dental
At Innovation Dental, we understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time—and often when you least expect them. Tooth pain, injury, or sudden swelling can be distressing, which is why our team is committed to providing prompt, compassionate emergency dental care for the Oro Valley community.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Severe Toothache:
Persistent pain that interferes with daily activities.
Broken or Chipped Tooth:
Even if there’s no pain, fractures can expose tooth nerves and lead to infection.
Knocked-Out Tooth:
Time is critical—save the tooth in milk or a tooth preservation kit and call us immediately.
Dental Abscess:
Pus-filled swelling around the tooth or gums, often accompanied by pain and fever.
Lost Filling or Crown:
A missing restoration can expose the tooth to further decay or damage.
Bleeding or Injury to Gums, Tongue, or Lips:
Excessive bleeding, lacerations, or swelling should be treated right away.
If you’re experiencing any of the above, contact us immediately at 520-654-4281.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
1. Call Our Office
Dial 520-654-4281 for immediate guidance. Explain your situation, and our friendly staff will direct you on next steps and schedule an urgent appointment if necessary.
2. Manage Pain & Swelling
-Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.
-Over-the-counter pain relievers (like ibuprofen) may help alleviate discomfort, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth.
3. Protect the Injured Area
-If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it but do not scrub away any attached tissue.
-Store the tooth in milk or a tooth preservation product until you arrive at our office.
