Emergency Dental Care
When a dental emergency surfaces, you have little time to wait for a scheduled appointment or business hours to come into effect. The Rowlett Dentist office offers emergency dental care services for the same reason. Dental emergencies can arise from injuries caused during sports activities, trauma or accidents, which can cause the tooth to either chip off or be knocked out. In case of broken teeth, rinse it with lukewarm water, and apply a cold compress. Cold compresses also help in relieving pain caused by a cracked tooth. In case of knocked-out tooth, try to retrieve the tooth while picking it from the crown and place it in a glass of salt water or milk.
Extreme tooth pain or sensitivity and swollen gums are other dental emergencies. To relieve from excruciating tooth ache, certain over-the-counter drugs can temporarily help when taken in small dosage. Lukewarm salt water can help ease swollen gums. Any damage in dentures, dental crowns or loose fillings should be immediately addressed or it can elevate to cause a deterioration in your oral health.
Pain-Free Sedation Dentistry
Nearly 30-40 million Americans cancel their medical appointments due to dental phobia. Sedation dentistry might hold the answer for those of you who are apprehensive about dental treatments and experience anxiety or panic when they are to visit a dentist’s facility. The Rowlett Dentist office offers pain free sedation dentistry options for any type of dental treatment, in a relaxing setting, while you’re under the care of our compassionate staff.
We administer a Nitrous oxide sedation, more commonly referred to as laughing gas, so patients can relax during the treatment without any anxiety. The advantage of using nitrous oxide is that when administered optimally, the effects of the sedative wear off soon, so the patient can go about their regular activities after the treatment, and even drive themselves home without any issues. Oral sedatives (pills or liquid) or intravenous sedatives (directly into the bloodstream) may also be employed based on the patients’ requirements.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth don’t have to be removed when they are functional and healthy. However, they can pose a problem when they grow a little too big for the jaws, emerge at an angle to the jaw, or don’t emerge through the gum. They can go on to cause disruptions in the adjacent teeth or cause cysts in extreme cases. Partially erupted teeth can cause bacteria to thrive, leading to infections, that in turn cause pain, stiffness, swelling and illness.
At The Rowlett Dentist office, we track the position and condition of the wisdom teeth with the help of dental X-rays and manual examination. If your wisdom teeth pose a potential problem, an extraction will be suggested, which will be carried out by means of a minor surgery under local or general anesthesia. Once the wisdom teeth are extracted, the dentist will suture the gums. The dentist may give you post-op instructions, along with pain medications to prevent any discomfort. You may have to come in for a follow-up appointment to have the surgical sutures removed.
Sport & Night Guards
Sport GuardsSports guards can help protect your teeth and the surrounding soft tissues from damage due to sport-related injuries. These mouth guards serve as strong, protective surfaces that dissipates any impacting force, and thereby minimize the infliction of damage and severity of the injury on the dental structure. It is important to use a well-fitted mouth guard to reduce the severity of athletic dental injuries.
Night GuardsBruxism is a condition where patients tend to grind or clench their teeth while asleep, unaware of doing so, in most cases. Bruxism or teeth grinding can lead to headaches, jaw pain, periodontal problems, TMJ issues, broken teeth and affect teeth alignment. Dentists usually recommend patients with bruxism to wear night guards to prevent the teeth damage, while eliminating the need to carry out dental restorations due to potential tooth damage. Night guards have an acrylic construction that covers the teeth’s biting surfaces to treat bruxism and its underlying causes, with some types also helping cases of sleep apnea in patients.
