I am a full-time caretaker for my father. He’s bedridden for the most part and I’m very concerned because I think he has a tooth abscess. I know he needs treatment very soon, but I don’t know what to do because I can’t transfer him to a wheel chair myself, let alone get him in […]
Will an emergency dentist re-attach my porcelain veneer?
I have a job interview in two days, and one of my veneers just popped off. It doesn’t hurt, but it looks horrible, and I’m terrified it will cost me the job. I think this qualifies as a dental emergency, but my dentist’s office doesn’t seem to agree. They said they can’t get me in […]
Will my dentist be able to fix my super glued crown?
I was out of town over the weekend and my crown unexpectedly broke in half. The only thing I could think of – and that was easy to find to fix it – was super glue. I know that sounds completely crazy, but I super glued the crown back together. Now I’m worried that I’ve […]
Is a gum injury an emergency?
I’ve had a tender, sore spot on my upper gum for a few days. I’m not sure where it came from — maybe I bit down on a sharp edge of a chip? I’m concerned because it seemed to be oozing yesterday, so I rinsed with mouth disinfectant. I can’t really tell for sure if […]
Do I Need to Wait to See the Implant Specialist or Can I See an Emergency Dentist?
I am freaking out. I’ve had an implant for a little over a year and my jaw started aching last week. I knew it wasn’t normal, so I went right in to my regular doctor and had him look at it. He said that he didn’t see anything wrong with it and sent me home. […]
Can’t afford an emergency dentist – how can I remedy my sinus/tooth issue at home?
I’ve been fighting a head cold or a toothache for a while now and I’m still not sure which it is. I don’t have insurance, so an emergency dentist or going to the doctor is really not an option. I’ve been on Sudafed and ibuprofen for a couple weeks now and they were providing me […]
Should I see an emergency dentist or can I treat full-mouth pain at home?
I woke up this morning and my whole mouth aches. The pain literally radiates from one side of my jaw to the other and every single tooth is pulsating. I don’t understand what could be causing it. I haven’t hurt myself and I haven’t felt any toothaches or anything. I’m not sure what to do, […]
Do I need emergency care for my baseball bobble?
My son accidentally hit me in the jaw the other day when we were playing catch with the baseball. It hurt, but I finished practicing with him and just tried to put the pain out of my mind. When I looked in the mirror today I noticed that I have a bruise – that doesn’t […]
Will the ER treat my dental pain?
I am experiencing a lot of pain and swelling from a root canal I had done yesterday. I really need to see my dentist, but unfortunately it’s the weekend. He has an emergency number that I tried to call, however it says it will take a few hours to call back. I simply cannot wait […]
Can I see the dentist after having fillers injected?
I have a toothache that’s bothering me. It needs attention right away. The issue is, I just went to a practitioner and had fillers put in my face three days ago (Juvederm). The fillers were injected in my nasolabial folds. I’m afraid that if I see a dentist, and they have me keep my mouth […]
