Immediate, Compassionate Emergency Dental Care at Espire Dental Westminster, CO

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, and they can be both painful and frightening. At Espire Dental Westminster, we are here to provide fast, effective, and compassionate emergency dental care when you need it most. Whether you’re dealing with a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, our team is ready to help restore your oral health and relieve your discomfort quickly.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Dental emergencies can be stressful, but knowing how to respond can help protect your teeth and prevent further complications. Here’s what to do if you experience a dental emergency:

  • Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any debris. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort until you see us.
  • Chipped or Broken Tooth: Save any pieces of the tooth if possible, and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and contact us immediately.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: If possible, place the tooth back into its socket without touching the root. If this isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or a tooth-preservation solution. Time is critical, so get to our office as soon as possible.
  • Lost Filling or Crown: Try to keep the affected area clean, and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Bring the crown or filling with you to your appointment.
  • Abscess: Rinse your mouth with salt water to help alleviate pain, but don’t delay seeking treatment, as an abscess can be serious.

At Espire Dental Westminster, we prioritize emergency cases and offer same-day appointments whenever possible to ensure you get the care you need right away.

How soon should I see a dentist if I have a dental emergency?

You should contact us immediately if you experience a dental emergency. We offer same-day appointments whenever possible and prioritize emergency cases to ensure you receive timely care.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

If you knock out a tooth, try to place it back in the socket or keep it moist in milk or saliva. Time is critical, so call us right away and head to our office as quickly as possible.

Will my insurance cover emergency dental treatment?

Most dental insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of emergency dental care. Our team will help you navigate your insurance coverage and offer flexible payment options if needed.

What can I do to prevent dental emergencies?

While not all dental emergencies can be avoided, practicing good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports, and avoiding hard foods that can damage your teeth can help reduce your risk.

Can I wait to see a dentist if the pain goes away?

Even if the pain subsides, it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible. The underlying issue may still require treatment to prevent further damage or infection.

What should I do if I lose a filling or crown?

If you lose a filling or crown, try to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side. Bring the crown or filling to your appointment, and we’ll repair or replace it.
