When you are experiencing a dental emergency, you may be scared and confused about what to do. The first thing you need to do is call our office at 248-469-0218. Once you have called us, prepare to come in for your appointment. We promise to see you in our office the same day.
If you are experiencing pain or inflammation, we recommend that you take an over-the-counter medication to help alleviate your pain temporarily. When you come into our office, we will handle the rest.
No matter what type of emergency you have, Dr. Harrell will work to find a solution. For instance, if you have severe dental decay, we might fill the cavity for you, or perform a root canal and add a crown to protect the tooth when necessary.
If your tooth is knocked loose, we ask that you refrain from wiggling the tooth or moving it around, as this can cause more trauma to the area. If your tooth has been knocked out, you can place the tooth back into the socket to help keep the tooth's roots from dying. If you are unable to place the tooth back in your mouth, put the tooth in a container and cover it with milk.
When you have an infection or an abscess on your gums, you will experience pain in the area. You should refrain from popping the abscess and let our team handle it for you. In the case of an infection, you may be given medication for it.
