Emergency Dental Services

End your toothache today!

If you are suffering from a strong toothache, a broken tooth or any other dental problem, the intense pain that you experience can be quite traumatic. This may necessitate immediate access to emergency dental services to bring you back to normal and resume your regular life as quickly as possible. A visit to an emergency dental clinic located nearby is most advisable for getting immediate relief from dental pain.

Campustown Dental provides emergency dental services to those residing in Ames, Iowa. We offer the earliest available appointment in most cases as well as same day treatment, as we understand that dental emergencies can’t wait for a scheduled appointment, and we try to provide immediate dental care to the utmost possible.

When Do You Need Emergency Dental Services?

An emergency would be a severe and unexpected condition involving illness or injury and needing immediate attention.

We provide dental care services for dental emergencies, including:

Misplaced Temporary Crown

The good news is that missing a temporary crown does not count as a dental emergency. We mainly treat them as placeholders until the permanent restorations get created. Even in 2 weeks, the neighboring teeth can begin to move into the region formed during the crown preparation.

A temporary crown maintains position for the permanent crown, along with supporting some chewing function and security for the underlying tooth. If you misplace a temporary crown, schedule an appointment at our office, and we will get back to you at the earliest possible time (normally the same afternoon/ next day).

Reconstructing or refastening a temporary crown takes about 20 minutes and typically does not need any anesthetic. Your teeth movement will get significantly restricted for a day or two in the period between missing your crown and getting it replaced at our office.

If it takes place over the weekend and you are undergoing excessive discomfort, you can set the temporary crown back over the tooth using toothpaste or by buying temporary cement from a medical store. We will subsequently examine you on the next working day.

Toothache Remedy

If you have tooth pain or irritation, visit your dentist at the earliest possible time. It can be an indication of a more significant problem that requires urgent attention. If it happens after hours, you can mostly manage the pain by alternating Tylenol and Ibuprofen.

It is recommended to stick to the medications you know you are comfortable to take.

Swollen Jaw Care

The reasons for having a swollen jaw can range from injury to infection and can involve an emergency dentist visit. Avoid chewing gum or solid foods that add to the extra pressure on the jaw.

Apply moist heat to your cheek from outside, around the jaw joint to alleviate pain. Consider taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication to help you soothe your pain.

Missing Filling and Crown Repair

Losing filling or crown cover over a tooth can be a somewhat painful experience. We offer emergency dental care to help relieve the underlying issue. If you have a filling or crown missing, or it becomes free, schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible.

If this happens after hours, a temporary repair is available. Most Wal-Mart or Walgreens stores deal in temporary cement as well as temporary filling material that are great alternatives to sustain you through the weekends and evenings.

Abscess or Infection Care

When you develop sudden infections, it can cause pain and loss of sleep. We always strive to help our patients keep good oral health. If you observe lump or pimples around your gums, you should inform your dental office right away.

If this occurs after hours, you may need to seek ER care because ignoring an infection is not something that you want to do.

Dental Repair

Accidents occur, and sometimes they impact your teeth. If you suffer from a tooth condition including damaged, chipped, loose or knocked out tooth, our team is ready to help!

In case of bleeding, put pressure on the area using a clean towel or gauze. Remember, mouth injuries normally cause profuse bleeding, so don’t panic. If your lips or cheeks get affected and may necessitate stitches, getting ER care is a wise decision. Most of the time, you are required to obtain an x-ray to evaluate the health of the tooth, and this may necessitate a return visit at a later date.

Call 911 directly to get the care for any other medical or dental emergencies. Please remember that the information mentioned above is generalized. Avoid any medication in excess or if you are aware of being allergic to them.
