Do You Need Assistance with a Dental Emergency?

Tooth Pain

Call us now at (240) 205-8141 if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Broken / Fractured / Chipped Tooth 
• Lost Crown / Cap / Filling

Our emergency services phone line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you need it, we can arrange to have a dentist come into the office to treat you.

There is a dental emergency service fee for coordinating a dentist to come into the office when it is after normal business hours. The cost of the emergency service charge will be told to you over the phone when you contact the emergency dental services phone number. The emergency service fee consists of a dental exam and x-rays. Our dentist will provide you with treatment recommendations following the examination. Any cost for treatment, should you choose it, is separate from the emergency service fee. Both the emergency fee and any cost of treatment will need to be paid up-front. We take all major credit cards and provide financing alternatives, but our dental office is not in a network with any insurance company. Should your insurance be a PPO where you may select your own dentist, your insurance carrier will reimburse you at a future date.

Dental Tips

If you are not experiencing a dental emergency right now, this article was meant for you. Here you will find a wealth of helpful advice for keeping your smile at its brightest.

Remember that you are what you eat, and so are your teeth. If you smoke a lot and drink red wine often, your teeth do get discolored. If you want whiter teeth, change what you eat. If it's dark going on your mouth, your teeth are going to get dark from it.

Toothbrush

Change your toothbrush every eight weeks. Keeping one longer than this is just introducing bacteria to your mouth, which is contrary to the purpose of brushing. If you have a toothbrush with a removal head, just change the head every two months. Anything used in your mouth longer than this is risky.

If you are taking medicines daily and suffer from bad breath, your medications may be at fault. This lack of moisture can lead to cavities and toothaches. Discuss your symptoms with your physician and see if your medications are to blame. You might be able to change to a different medication if this is the case. If switching medications isn't an option, your doctor may have suggestions for helping you deal with your dry mouth.

Don't overlook teeth in the back of your mouth. It's all too easy to neglect those teeth you cannot see, and it can have negative consequences. Avoid these problems by always brushing your back teeth as well.

Dental Exam

Brush your teeth twice a day. Ideally, you should brush your teeth after every meal. If doing so is not an option, make sure you at least brush after waking up and then again, before going to bed. Regularly brushing your teeth is one of the easiest ways to prevent tooth decay.

Do temperature extremes cause you dental pain? Look for a toothpaste that is made for sensitive teeth, and make an appointment with your dentist. There can be a medical cause for your teeth's sensitivity. Take care of these dental problems before they get worse.

Invest in one of those small hand-held mirrors like your dentist uses in his office. It can help you to spot plaque and tarter build-up in places not accessible to the naked eye and can assist you when you've got something stuck in between teeth. You can also use it to inspect your mouth for anomalies that may indicate underlying health issues.

Cleaning the area between the tooth and the gum is simple when you tilt your brush 45 degrees to ensure the bristles get beneath the gum itself. This is as important to do to keep dental health high as flossing in the same area of your mouth, so make a point of it.

Results of Proper Dental Care

If you think your teeth need to be whitened, you should schedule an appointment with your dentist. Your dentist will advise you on how to brush and floss your teeth efficiently and recommend some products you can use. In some cases, having your teeth cleaned by your dentist will be enough to make them look whiter.

There are alternatives to mint toothpaste if you don't really like the taste. A simple search of your local store will turn up a wide variety of flavor options. Try out a few options. If none of them work, speak to your dentist about other alternatives.

It is important to be serious about keeping your teeth and gums healthy. People who have cavities are more susceptible to getting more. The sooner you understand what it takes to care for your teeth and gums, the more likely you are to live a long life free from oral afflictions. Use these tips to keep your smile glowing for years to come.
