Emergency Dentistry

Having an experienced emergency dentist can take a lot of the stress out of a dental crisis. Dr. Larsen can help alleviate your pain and quickly put you on the road to recovery.

You can help to safeguard yourself against a dental emergency by making sure your teeth and gums stay in good condition. This entails maintaining a regular routine of brushing and flossing and getting a dental check-up and professional teeth cleaning every six months.  Of course no matter how prepared you are, emergencies do happen.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

A genuine dental emergency results from situations that require immediate treatment to:

  • Alleviate severe pain
  • Staunch heavy bleeding
  • Save a tooth
  • Halt the progress of a severe infection such as a dental abscess

In the case of pain and bleeding from a knocked-out tooth, fast treatment will give you the best chance of successful reinsertion of the tooth. A loose tooth, even pain-free, can also be a serious issue in adults.

Facial swelling or a lump on your gums combined with a high temperature can be a sign of an abscess or other serious infection in your mouth that could be potentially life-threatening.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, contact our office right away!


Schedule an Emergency Visit

To our Patient Family,

We wanted to personally reach out to share what we are doing in response to the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. The health and safety of our patients, team members, and community is of utmost importance to us. Please be assured we are closely monitoring developments and implementing several safety precautions.

We will remain open and take care of our patients as usual. As always, we will follow OSHA guidelines for infection control. In addition, we use an outside company to monitor our sterilization methods. The office will be following the CDC’s recommendations as we learn more about this virus.

In addition, we have asked our team members to refrain from handshaking during this time. We ask you to please reschedule your appointment if you feel ill, have experienced a fever in the last 24 hours, or feel you have been exposed to someone with these symptoms. If a family member or your driver has a cough or fever, we ask that they wait in the car. It is important for you to wash your hands frequently or use hand sanitizer as needed.

We have also communicated to our team that they should remain at home if they are experiencing a cough or fever. We may experience some short- staffed days in the future, and appreciate your patience during this time.

We appreciate your assistance with these guidelines. As always, we want to provide you with a world class experience, the best possible dental treatment, and a safe and enjoyable visit. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Steven Larsen DDS Family Dentistry
