But these situations shouldn\u2019t be downplayed; they have the potential to affect the look, feel, and functionality of your smile, in addition to sometimes being quite painful and anxiety-inducing! With that in mind, any time you sustain a serious dental emergency, your first move should be to contact and visit your emergency dentist. Here are three things you can expect when you arrive for your appointment! <span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\"> <\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><h2>1. A Quick &amp; Thorough Emergency Examination<\/h2> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">When it comes to emergency dentistry, time is of the essence\u2014which is why the very first thing that\u2019ll happen upon arriving at your appointment is an emergency examination of your smile. Since you\u2019ve already called ahead of time and explained your situation, your dentist will know what to expect. Nonetheless, they still need to peek inside and see what\u2019s going on before they can prescribe treatment. Sometimes X-rays are taken during this examination to detect possible inflammation or infection that\u2019s invisible to the naked eye.<\/p> <h2>2. Immediate Treatment<\/h2> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">Every dental emergency is different; some types of emergencies, like displaced teeth, need to be treated as soon as possible. But milder injuries such as chipped or cracked teeth can often wait a day or two. In any case, once you arrive at your appointment, you can expect to have your issue resolved\u2014and your pain remedied\u2014before heading back home!<\/p> <h2>3. Possibility of Anesthetics<\/h2> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">Some types of dental emergencies require sedation or anesthesia regardless of the level of pain you\u2019re experiencing. This possibility exists when you go in for emergency treatment, but it\u2019s nothing you should worry about! Your dentist\u2019s top priority is your comfort, meaning that sedation or anesthesia is only going to be administered if it\u2019s necessary (and useful). <\/p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">It\u2019s worth noting that emergency dentists have time built into their schedules for dealing with patients with urgent circumstances, so don\u2019t worry about inconveniencing your provider or rushing anywhere to wait in line. Nonetheless, dental emergencies don\u2019t tend to resolve themselves, meaning promptly heading to this visit is your best course of action! <\/p> <h2>About the Practice<\/h2> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">Here at University Dental Group, we excel at providing patients and families in Worcester with an unparalleled dental experience that\u2019s stress-free and certain to leave your smile looking and feeling its best.
