Caring For Your Peace of Mind

Dental emergencies are often painful and scary. At The Comfort Dentist, we're not just in the business of dentistry; we're in the business of caring for your peace of mind. Dr. Kandare and our skilled team are dedicated to providing the highest level of emergency dental care in Chesapeake to get you out of pain as quickly as possible.

Common Dental Emergencies

19 Toothache

Toothaches

An intense toothache can be dull or sharp. It's often a sign of an underlying issue such as tooth decay, cracked root, or periodontal infection. Our experienced team will determine the cause of your toothache and provide targeted treatment to alleviate your pain.


Chipped or Broken Teeth

Accidents happen, and chipping or breaking a tooth is probably the most common emergency that we treat. First things first, save the tooth fragment and keep it moist. If there’s bleeding, apply firm pressure. Contact our office immediately. 

Knocked-Out Teeth

When you knock out a tooth, you need to act quickly. Handle your tooth by the crown (try not to touch the root), rinse it off if there’s visible debris, and try to reinsert it into the socket immediately. If that's not an option, place it in milk and contact our office immediately.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

A broken-off filling or crown can expose sensitive nerves, leading to discomfort and vulnerability to further damage. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth, and contact us the same day for an appointment. 

Abscesses

Dental abscesses are infections that can develop at the root of a tooth with the potential to spread elsewhere in your face. A small pimple or fistula is usually visible on your gums next to the tooth. Schedule an appointment as soon as possible, even if the tooth doesn’t hurt or stops hurting. 

Why Prompt Treatment is Important

The old saying "a stitch in time saves nine" couldn't be more accurate when it comes to dental emergencies. Dental emergencies often cause excruciating pain or teeth that may break apart further at a moment’s notice. Same-day emergency treatment offers fast pain relief and protection so that you don’t have to worry about more complex treatments or additional treatment expenses later on down the road. Early care also saves your teeth, reducing your chances of tooth loss or the spread of infection into other parts of your smile.
