What Is a Dental Emergency?
First things first—when might you need an emergency dentist in Edmond? If you’re sitting there unsure whether you need urgent care or if it can wait until Tuesday, here are some pointers to guide you. Any of these situations scream, “Call Smile Lounge of Edmond immediately!”:
- A knocked-out tooth (Ouch! Hold that tooth gently and keep it moist—we’ve got tools to help save it.)
- Severe tooth pain that refuses to quit. (We’ll get to the root of the problem—pun intended!)
- Swelling, infection, or abscesses can indicate serious problems.
- A cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth that causes pain or sensitivity.
Simply put, if it hurts, bleeds, or looks awry, it’s time to call us. Even if you’re unsure, it’s always better to be safe, and Smile Lounge of Edmond is here for you.
Why Smile Lounge of Edmond?
We know you have options, so here’s why Smile Lounge of Edmond is unlike any other dental office. Our team is upbeat and serious about getting you taken care of ASAP because nobody has time to be in pain.
From the moment you walk through the door—or call us with your emergency—you’re greeted like family. We don’t just fix your teeth; we make the whole experience comfortable.
We also offer sedation dentistry for those who feel anxious about dental procedures. We offer laughing gas, oral sedation (we can provide a prescription before your appointment to help you relax), and IV sedation with a skilled anesthesiologist on-site to ensure your comfort and safety (the patient will be asleep during the procedure and some sedation types require you arrange for someone to drive you home).
What Happens When You Come to Us?
When you come to Smile Lounge of Edmond for emergency dental care, we get straight to business—your smile is priority number one. Here’s how it usually goes down:
- Quick Chat: Tell us what happened, what hurts, and how we can help.
- Exam-Time: We will examine the situation, whether it’s X-rays for a “mystery toothache” or a hands-on look at a dental crown doing its best to escape.
- Emergency Fixes: Whether you need pain relief, a temporary cap, or a speedy procedure, we move quickly to relieve your discomfort. Our team will keep you in the loop every step of the way—no guessing games here!
- Your Long-Term Plan: Emergencies don’t wait, but some follow-ups may still be needed. If additional treatments are a good idea, we’ll schedule those with you immediately.
Friendly Tips to Handle Dental Emergencies Until You See Us
We get it—sometimes you’re not in the exam chair the second something goes wrong. Until you can rush over to Smile Lounge of Edmond, here are some pro tips to handle common situations:
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep it moist! You can place it in milk or hold it in your cheek until you arrive (but don’t clean it with soap or scrub it).
- Toothaches: Rinse with warm salt water and carefully floss to ensure nothing is stuck. Avoid aspirin on the gums—it hurts more than it helps.
- Chipped Tooth: Rinse, cover sharp edges with wax if needed, and avoid biting with that tooth.
When in doubt, call us! We’ll guide you every step of the way.
