Smilepoint Dental is proud to offer emergency dental services to the Beaumont area. We know that emergencies have a way of happening late at night and the weekends. We are here to help!

Sometimes, it is difficult to tell if you are dealing with a dental emergency or not. In our next three blogs, we will explore how to handle different scenarios and whether you need emergency care or not.

1. Cracked or broken tooth
   Biting down too hard on a solid object is just one of the causes of cracked and broken teeth. You need to call Smilepoint immediately. Make sure you rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress.
2. Injury to your jaw
   Even if you merely suspect that your jaw is damaged, you need to make an appointment immediately – damage to your jawbone will translate into dental complications. Apply a cold compress and give us a call!
3. Damaged braces
   Even if the damage is not extreme, give your orthodontist a call. You may learn that the damage is small enough that you can wait for an appointment. However, you may also learn that the damage requires immediate attention. Do not leave this up to chance – make sure you check in!
4. Tongue or lip bite that bleeds a lot
   We have all bitten our tongues and cheeks. You can always clean the area and use a cold compress to lessen swelling. However, if you bleed a lot and the bleeding will not stop, go to the emergency room.

At Smilepoint Dental, we are fully committed to meeting your dental needs.Contact us today for an appointment.
