Dental emergencies can vary widely in nature and severity, but they all require swift attention to relieve pain, prevent further damage, or save a tooth. Here are some of the most common emergencies we address at Seattle Smiles Company:

• Severe Toothache or Sudden Sensitivity: Often indicative of deep decay or infection, a severe toothache requires prompt attention to alleviate pain and treat the underlying cause.
• Chipped, Broken, or Knocked-Out Teeth: Accidents or biting down on hard food can cause teeth to chip, break, or even knock out entirely. Quick action can sometimes save the tooth, especially in cases of avulsion (knocked-out teeth).
• Lost Fillings or Crowns: A lost filling or crown exposes sensitive tooth structure, leading to discomfort and risk of further damage. Immediate care can restore the tooth's protection.
• Abscesses or Swelling in the Mouth: An abscess is a sign of infection that can lead to swelling and severe pain. Treatment often involves draining the abscess and addressing the infection with antibiotics.

Bleeding Gums or Injuries to the Mouth’s Soft Tissues: Injuries to the gums, cheeks, tongue, or lips can result in bleeding and require careful cleaning and, in some cases, sutures to promote healing.

When facing a dental emergency, knowing what to expect can ease anxiety and help you prepare for your visit to Seattle Smiles Company.

• Immediate Assessment: Upon your arrival, our team quickly assesses your condition. Dr. Ajay Kashi prioritizes understanding the nature of your emergency and your level of discomfort.
