EMERGENCY DENTAL CARE

Despite our best efforts, sometimes accidents happen. You’re playing a game and catch the ball with your mouth. You sit down to dinner and hear an alarming crack when you take a bite. You have an important day ahead and wake up with a terrible toothache. Whatever happens, don’t stress because we can help!

At Cross Creek Dental, we understand that you can’t always plan for every contingency. That’s why we provide emergency dental care. 

You might be experiencing a dental emergency if you have any of the following symptoms:

• Severe toothache that can’t be managed with regular painkillers.
• One or more broken or cracked teeth.
• Bleeding gums that won’t stop.
• Swelling in your gums, cheeks or jaw.
• A loose or lost adult tooth.
• An abscess in your mouth or gums.
• Painful inflammation in your gums.
• Dental crowns or fillings that have fallen out.

If you think you are dealing with a dental emergency, it’s important to see a professional quickly. Delaying care could lead to long-term damage, infection or loss of your tooth. If you aren’t certain your situation counts as an emergency, give us a call at (910) 868-6001 to speak with our caring staff. They can verify with our dentists whether you are dealing with a dental emergency and if you should seek an appointment. 

If the dentist agrees that it is an emergency, our staff will help to get you the next available appointment so you can get the treatment you need.
