Persistent or Severe Toothache

Persistent tooth pain can be an indication of an infection in the root canal and should never be ignored. In order to determine what the best course of action is, our friendly dentist will perform a gentle emergency exam to assess the affected tooth and connecting tissues. If an infection is found, it is likely that root canal therapy will be recommended to save your tooth and restore your oral health.

Cracked Teeth

A number of things can cause a crack or even break a tooth, including dental trauma, biting on something that is too hard, or even grinding your teeth. A cracked tooth may be fairly painless, but even if a tooth doesn't hurt, the fissure can lead to other oral health complications over time. A crack in your tooth ultimately functions like a gateway that allows bacteria to get into the internal network of blood vessels and tissue that support your tooth.

Our dentist will provide emergency tooth repair or an emergency root canal if needed to preserve the tooth structure. To correct a crack, chip, or broken section of your tooth, Beautiful Smiles Arizona offers a variety of restoration options, including filings and crowns, to repair your tooth and prevent further damage from occurring.

Knocked Out Teeth

If you have a tooth that has been avulsed (knocked out), it's critical to contact Beautiful Smiles Arizona for emergency care right away. Whether your tooth was knocked out by force or because of decay, there are some very simple steps that you can take prior to your appointment with our emergency dentist.

To care for your knocked out tooth before you arrive for your emergency dentist appointment, our team recommends the following steps:

• Rinse both the tooth and your mouth with lukewarm water but do not touch the root of the tooth
• Keep the tooth damp by placing it in a cup of milk or water
• If the tooth socket is bleeding, then apply gauze to the area
• Hold a clean dish towel wrapped around a handful of ice on your cheek to minimize the swelling
• Bring your tooth in the cup of milk with you to the appointment, and we will try to set your tooth back in the socket.

If you've suffered a knocked out tooth, it's critical to visit our office as quickly as possible, preferably within an hour of your injury, for the greatest chance of saving your tooth. If the tooth cannot be saved, we will craft a treatment plan to restore your smile.
