Emergency Dentist in Columbus, Ohio Offers Urgent Care to Patients

    COLUMBUS, OH, September 17, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are many reasons a person may need to see a dentist immediately, but some of the most common reasons are: toothaches, a broken tooth, having a tooth knocked out, jaw injuries, and abscesses. Whatever the dental emergency, one thing is always the same: there is an immediate need to see a dentist for fast pain relief.

Dr. Mark Fixari and Dr. Shayne Fixari at Fixari Dental are committed to helping patients who are experiencing dental emergencies. Unfortunately, dental emergencies tend to occur at inconvenient times outside of office hours. In circumstances when the patient is experiencing pain and discomfort that cannot wait, Drs. Fixari provide last-minute emergency appointments. Patients who are experiencing a dental emergency can either visit the emergency room or contact Fixari Dental, where dentists can provide ways to alleviate the pain and schedule a last-minute appointment.

Emergency Toothache Dentists

Drs. Fixari understand that toothaches can make it impossible to get through the day normally. If a toothache is leaving a patient unable to go to work or school, or causing him or her to miss other important activities, a trip to the dentist should be made as soon as possible. The dentist will be able to provide fast pain relief until the issue can be resolved with a full dental appointment.

Broken or Knocked Out Teeth: A Common Dental Emergency

Teeth can become broken or be completely knocked out during sports, play, or an accident. When this happens, it is best to be seen by a dentist as soon as possible. Depending on how long the tooth has been knocked out, the dentist may be able to save the tooth.

A knocked out tooth should be saved and brought to the dentist as soon as possible. If there is anything on the tooth, rinse it very carefully with saliva, whole milk, or water. Attempt to place the tooth back in the socket; if that is impossible, place the tooth in a container, making sure the tooth is moist at all times. Be sure to avoid touching the roots or any tissue that may be attached.

Jaw Injuries

An injury to the jaw can be extremely painful, and can also be serious. Patients who have sustained an injury to the jaw should be seen by a dentist immediately, or, depending on the circumstances, the emergency room. In the meantime, patients can apply a cold compress to the area.

Tooth Abscess

A tooth abscess is an infection around a tooth, the gums, the jaw, or other areas around the mouth. An abscess feels much like a toothache, with the patient experiencing pain, tenderness, and swelling. If the infection worsens, patients can also begin to experience other symptoms, such as nausea, a fever, and chills. Patients who are suffering from an abscess should seek help from a dentist immediately.
