Emergency Dental Exams in Mishawaka, IN
Sudden tooth pain, a broken tooth or a dental injury needs prompt attention. An emergency exam helps find the cause and decide the right next step. Adults and children with a toothache, chipped tooth, swelling or injury should call 574-255-5630 as early as possible during office hours.
During an emergency dental examination, the dentist evaluates the affected tooth, gums, and surrounding tissues. X-rays may be recommended when needed to assess an injury or identify problems that are not visible during a visual examination. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the condition and may include a filling, crown, extraction, or other care.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, seek dental care immediately. Handle the tooth by its crown, avoid touching the root, and keep it moist while arranging urgent treatment. Do not try to reinsert a baby tooth. For uncontrolled bleeding, serious facial trauma, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care.
Wearing a suitable mouth guard during contact sports helps reduce the risk of dental injuries for adults and children. Regular checkups can also help identify concerns before they become urgent.
