In a dentist office, prompt action is critical to prevent complications and minimize damage. Our Hillsboro emergency dentist is ready to help with a wide range of emergency procedures.

Dental emergencies often occur when we least expect them. Whether it is from trauma or biting down too hard, these events can cause pain and jeopardize your health. The key is to be aware of the signs and symptoms of dental emergencies so you can act quickly.

Tooth Damage

Damaged teeth are most commonly the result of facial trauma or grinding and biting down on hard objects. This type of damage typically results in visible cracks or chips. In some cases, damaged teeth can also lead to infection. We can repair this type of tooth with dental crowns or dental veneers.

Loose or Dislodged Teeth

If a tooth becomes partially or completely dislodged, call us immediately for an appointment. Our emergency dentist can reset the tooth and secure it with splints to improve its chances of survival.

Infection or Abscess

A dental abscess is a painful, pus-filled swelling that can result from untreated infection or other dental issues. This condition is a serious dental concern and requires immediate care from our emergency dentist to drain the abscess and prevent it from spreading to other areas of the body.
