Are You Experiencing a Dental Emergency? 

It can be challenging at times to determine whether you are experiencing a dental emergency. If in doubt, consider the following questions:

• Do you have a severe, persistent toothache? 
• Do you have swelling in the mouth or jaw?
• Do you have a pimple-like bump on the gums? 
• Do you have a knocked-out, dislodged, loose, or broken tooth? 
• Is there bleeding from the lips, gums, or tongue? 
• Do you have a broken or lost crown or filling? 

In general, a dental emergency is a situation requiring urgent care to relieve pain, save a tooth, treat an infection, or stop bleeding.

What Can You Expect During Your Emergency Appointment? 

The first step in your treatment is relieving any pain or discomfort. Once you are comfortable, Dr. Barbu will perform an exam and may take digital X-rays to evaluate your emergency and determine the best course of treatment. Our experienced dentist always recommends the most conservative solutions to restore your smile’s health and function. 

During your initial emergency visit, the main goal is to stabilize your condition. You may require additional appointments to complete treatment and fully restore your healthy smile. At Roam Dental, we never spare any effort to ensure you are comfortable and stress-free while delivering high-quality care to ensure the best possible outcomes.
