Emergency Dental Treatments We Offer in Allentown, PA
Depending on your situation, your same-day emergency treatment at our Allentown dental office may include:
Root Canal Therapy: Severe tooth pain often means decay has reached the nerve inside the tooth. An emergency root canal relieves that pain immediately and saves the natural tooth. Until you can get to our office, apply a cold compress to your jaw and take ibuprofen to manage discomfort.
Chipped or Broken Tooth Repair: A broken tooth can result from a fall, a collision, or even biting into hard food. Save any broken pieces in a bag and bring them with you. Dr. Carey will assess the damage and restore your tooth — minor chips can often be repaired same-day with cosmetic bonding, while more significant damage may require a CEREC same-day crown.
Lost Filling or Crown: A lost filling or crown exposes the tooth to bacteria and sensitivity. Contact our Allentown office as soon as possible — in the meantime, dental cement from a pharmacy can temporarily protect the area.
Emergency Tooth Extractions: When a tooth is too damaged or decayed to save, Dr. Carey will recommend an emergency extraction to relieve pain and prevent the infection from spreading. Following extraction, we can discuss tooth replacement options including dental implants or a dental bridge.
What To Do in a Dental Emergency
While you make your way to our Allentown office:
- Knocked-out tooth: Handle by the crown only — never the root. Rinse gently and place back in the socket if possible, or keep in milk. Time is critical — call us immediately.
- Severe toothache: Rinse with warm saltwater. Take ibuprofen if needed. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
- Swelling or abscess: Apply a cold compress in 10-minute intervals. Do not apply heat. Swelling with fever is urgent — call right away.
- Broken tooth: Save any pieces, rinse your mouth, and avoid chewing on that side until you are seen.
Then contact Strassman Dental immediately at (610) 890-6220.
