Emergency Dentist in Framingham, MA

Big or small, a broken tooth can lead to more issues with your oral health. This could be a small chip, a fracture, or a tooth that has completely broken in half. Whenever there is damage to a tooth, an x-ray allows us to see if the damage has gone deeper than expected and is affecting your tooth’s roots. Our emergency dentist can repair these issues and relieve your pain. 

Tooth pain could mean other issues lie beneath the surface, such as cavities or infected teeth roots. If your teeth are suddenly feeling sensitive to hot or cold temperatures, or if they hurt when you consume something sugary, this is a sign of tooth decay. A thorough examination can answer what’s causing your pain and how to fix it. 

Saving healthy teeth is always our priority; but when the tooth structure is past salvaging, an extraction could be the answer. If your tooth is decayed, it can cause pain, bleeding, and swelling in your gums. Come see our emergency dentist right away, so we can either repair your tooth or, if needed, extract it to relieve your pain. 

If left untreated, an impacted wisdom tooth could cause damage to your surrounding teeth and gums. It can also lead to crowding if there isn't enough room for your wisdom teeth to come in. Wisdom teeth extractions can not only relieve discomfort but also prevent the need for orthodontic treatment. 

The presence of infection and swelling can be the result of a variety of factors such as gum disease. If your gums are bleeding, swelling, feeling hot, or sore, you may have a gum infection. With an exam, we can get to the root of the problem and get our gums healthy again.

If your adult tooth gets knocked out, there is still a chance we can save it if you act fast. When you find the tooth, pick it up by the crown (not the roots!) and rinse it with a gentle flow of clean water. Place the tooth back in its socket if you can. If you can’t get it to go in, or if it is broken, put your tooth in a small cup of milk and bring it to our office for your emergency appointment.

Rinse your mouth with warm, not hot, clean water. If you’re bleeding, hold a piece of gauze bandage to the wound until it clots which should be about ten minutes or less. Use an ice pack or cold compress to reduce swelling and pain where the injury occurred. And if you can find the piece of your tooth that broke off, bring it with you to our office for your emergency appointment. 

Thoroughly rinse your mouth out with warm, not hot, clean water. You may want to try using a saltwater solution (½ tsp salt in 8 oz water) to relieve the pain and clear out any food particles from between your teeth. You can also try to gently floss around the affected tooth to see if stuck food is causing your pain. 

You need to see our emergency dentist as soon as possible if you have an oral abscess. In the meantime, you can try rinsing with a saltwater solution of ½ tsp of salt in 8 oz of water to relieve the pain and remove any debris or pus.
