Any time you feel significant pain in the dental region, you’re experiencing a dental emergency. Your dental emergency may be the result of physical trauma or a dental infection. Signs of a dental emergency include:
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, call our office at (772) 905-3655 and we’ll fit you in for an appointment as soon as possible.
If your teeth get knocked out, there’s a chance we can save them. If it doesn’t hurt too much, rinse off the teeth and place them back in the socket. Otherwise, put the missing teeth in a container with milk or your own saliva and bring it with you to our office right away.
Dr. Burke will do everything he can to save your natural tooth, but sometimes tooth extraction is the best option for your oral health. We’ll relieve your pain and help you recover. Then we can talk about replacing your missing tooth with one of our custom restorations such as dental implants.
If you have a painful cavity that needs immediate attention, we can provide tooth-colored fillings to restore your tooth to its natural function. If you have a crown that’s become damaged or fallen out, Dr. Burke will fix your crown or provide you with a new one.
Severe pain in your tooth and jaw could be an indication that you require root canal therapy. Though root canal therapy is often portrayed as being painful, it usually isn’t because we use advanced technology and local anesthetic. We also offer dental sedation for your comfort.
During root canal therapy, Dr. Burke creates a tiny hole to remove the damaged tissue. Then he’ll restore the tooth to full function with an attractive dental crown. Without root canal therapy, you risk losing the tooth and the infection could spread throughout your mouth, neck, and head.
Are your dentures damaged? Are they causing you pain? Dr. Burke can help. At your emergency appointment, he’ll examine your dentures and make the necessary adjustments. We can also provide you with new dentures if necessary.
If you experience pain or discomfort with your dental implants, call our office at (772) 905-3655. Dr. Burke will address any issues with your implants.
If your child is having a dental emergency, we’ll take care of them and make the pain go away. Dr. Burke is a child-friendly dentist who will provide gentle care during this difficult time.
