Prompt Emergency Dentistry in Concord, NC

When accidents happen that result in damaged teeth, we know that repairing your smile becomes your number one concern. Recovering from a dental emergency requires immediate and precise care. Here at Dr. Compton’s office, we offer emergency dentistry in Concord, NC to restore your smile as quickly as possible.

What is Emergency Dentistry?

Teeth that become loosened, cracked, or completely removed due to injury or accidents are considered dental emergencies.

When a dental emergency occurs, it is important to visit our office as soon as possible. The time it takes to see Dr. Compton after a dental accident can mean the difference between saving or losing the damaged tooth. We recommend visiting our office within 30 minutes of the tooth being damaged.

Emergency Dental Services

Dr. Compton and his staff offer a variety of services to treat your dental crisis, including implant crowns and fillings, urgent restorative procedures, and tooth trauma treatment. Our dentists are thoroughly trained to determine the severity of your case and develop a treatment plan to restore your tooth/teeth.

Oftentimes, dental emergencies result in damage that can take time and several office visits to repair. We know that the physical appearance of your smile is of utmost importance and not only do we work with you to provide a speedy recovery but we also specialize in temporary restorations so that you never have to undergo the embarrassment of a damaged smile. Our temporary restorations are natural-looking, durable, and allow for a blemish-free smile while we craft a more permanent replacement or restoration.

What to do During a Dental Emergency?

Most dental cases requiring urgent care consist of broken, cracked, or lost teeth. Here are some tips on how to handle a dental emergency before coming into our office.

Broken/Chipped Tooth:

  • Rinse mouth with warm water to clean the area
  • If bleeding, apply pressure with gauze
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
  • If you are not able to see our office immediately, apply temporary dental cement (this can be found at any drugstore)

Tooth Knocked Out:

  • Hold the tooth by the crown, NOT by the root
  • Rinse tooth in warm water
  • Do NOT remove any tissue fragments that may still be attached to the root of the tooth
  • Do not let the tooth dry out, keep in a cup of milk
  • Bring the tooth with you to our office!
