FAQs About Same Day Emergencies
Get answers to common concerns about treatments, appointments, insurance, and more.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes situations such as severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, or injuries to the gums and jaw. At Judd Dentistry in Columbia, Maryland, we treat these cases promptly with same-day emergency appointments to relieve pain and protect your oral health.
Does Judd Dentistry offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies?
Yes. Judd Dentistry in Columbia, MD, offers same-day emergency dental appointments whenever possible. Our team understands that dental emergencies can happen suddenly, so we make every effort to see patients quickly and provide immediate relief.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth before getting to the dentist?
If you knock out a tooth, carefully pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in its socket if possible. If that’s not an option, store it in a container of milk or saliva until you arrive at our office. At Judd Dentistry in Columbia, Maryland, prompt care is critical for saving a knocked-out tooth, so call us right away.
How do I know if tooth pain is a true emergency?
Tooth pain that is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, fever, or a bad taste in the mouth may indicate an infection that requires immediate treatment. At Judd Dentistry in Columbia, MD, we advise patients not to ignore dental pain, as it can quickly worsen without care.
Can same-day dental emergency care save me from needing more extensive treatment?
Yes. Quick treatment of dental emergencies can often prevent the need for more complicated or costly procedures later. For example, treating an infection right away may save a tooth from extraction. At Judd Dentistry in Columbia, Maryland, our same-day emergency services are focused on relieving pain and protecting your long-term oral health.
