After all, handling a hurting or damaged tooth isn\u2019t exactly common knowledge for most people. Luckily, there\u2019s only one thing you need to remember to do in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanoverroaddental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergency<\/a> \u2013 call your dentist. Their team will take it from there by scheduling an appointment for you. The details will vary, but here\u2019s a basic idea of what you can expect during your emergency dental visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Same-Day Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing to do when a dental emergency occurs is to reach out to your dentist right away. Over the phone, a member of their team will ask you questions about your symptoms. From there, they\u2019ll let you know how quickly you\u2019ll need to come in and schedule an appointment for you accordingly. Some emergencies, like a knocked-out tooth, need to be addressed immediately, while others, like a slightly chipped tooth, can wait a day or two if need be. If your situation is the latter, your dentist\u2019s team can give you tips on managing your symptoms until your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that most dentists build time into their schedules specifically for treating emergencies. So, if you need urgent attention, rest assured you\u2019ll be able to get it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Thorough Dental Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you arrive at your dentist\u2019s office, you\u2019ll be seen right away for an emergency dental exam. Instead of looking over your entire mouth like they would during a routine checkup, your dentist will focus on the specific area that\u2019s giving you trouble. That way, they can precisely identify the source of the issue. This exam might involve taking X-rays of that section of your mouth to pinpoint any problems that might not be visible with your dentist\u2019s eyes alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swift Pain Relief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, dental emergencies are accompanied by pain, so your dentist will work to alleviate that promptly. Once they\u2019ve determined the cause of the problem, they can recommend a course of treatment. If said treatment will need to be performed at a later date, your dentist can provide a solution to minimize any discomfort until then. You\u2019ll have a restored, healthy smile again before you know it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By keeping the above information in mind, it should be easier to stay calm in a dental emergency. Of course, if you have any further questions, don\u2019t be afraid to get in touch with your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our gentle, experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanoverroaddental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">dentists<\/a> at Hanover Road Dental Health are proud to offer same-day emergency dental care in Lebanon, NH.
