You have a tooth that has been a slight annoyance for the last few months. The pain hasn’t exactly been consistent and you’ve found an added benefit to the sugar sensitivity—you’ve dropped five pounds. The time when you could put off going into dentist, however, has come to a rapid end. Throughout the day this Friday, you have held the pain at bay with over-the-counter pain medicine. This evening, you can’t take it anymore and you cannot get anyone at your regular dentist’s office. It is time for some professional help in the form of and emergency dentist.
Not every general dental office provides emergency dental care alongside their general dentistry practice. It takes a special group to offer. Center City Emergency Dentist provides it all for your convenience. Check our website to see if we take your insurance or if you will need to be self-pay for our care for your painful tooth. We want to help you get pain relief. Call us for an emergency dentist appointment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and we will help find and fix the cause of the pain.
As a precaution before appointments, don’t take any aspirin or ibuprofen. They can contain anticoagulants and cause excessive bleeding. Instead, for the pain, take an acetaminophen product. If you have severe pain, find someone to drive you to your dental visit. You can also rinse with warm, clean water or warm salt water to keep your mouth clean. Relax, we’re the emergency dentists who are here to help you resolve your tooth pain.
