Tooth pain never comes at a good time. You might be enjoying dinner when your tooth starts throbbing. Or maybe you’re playing with your kids and accidentally bump your mouth. Sometimes the pain starts when you’re trying to sleep and keeps you awake all night.

When your tooth hurts, it can be scary. The smartest thing to do is call a dentist right away. If you wait too long, your tooth problem will probably get worse. This means you’ll hurt more, and it will cost more money to fix later.

At Bickler Dentistry, we’ve helped lots of people who had sudden tooth problems. We know that when your mouth hurts, even a few minutes feels like forever.

When you come to our office, we’ll ask you questions about what happened and where it hurts. Then we’ll look at your whole mouth to figure out what’s wrong. Sometimes we need to take pictures of your teeth so we can see problems hiding under your gums.

After we find out what’s causing your pain, we’ll sit down and explain how we can fix it. We use simple words so you understand exactly what we need to do. We want you to feel good about the choices you make for your teeth.

We can take care of many different kinds of tooth emergencies. Here are some problems we see a lot:

• Broken Fillings – We put in new white fillings that look just like your real teeth
• Infected Teeth – We clean out the infection with a root canal, so your tooth can get better. You don’t have to lose your tooth.
• Cracked Crowns – Our special machine makes new crowns in one visit so you don’t have to come back
• Sore Gums – We clean your teeth really well to get rid of germs that make your gums hurt and bleed
• Teeth That Can’t Be Fixed – If a tooth is too damaged, we take it out very gently and talk about ways to replace it

We want you to feel relaxed when we work on your teeth. Before we start, we always give you medicine so you won’t feel any pain. If you get worried about dental work, we can also give you medicine to help you stay calm.

A tooth emergency doesn’t have to mess up your whole week. We try our best to see people with urgent problems the same day they call.
