Trust Your Smile to Our Skilled Emergency Care Team

When you’re facing a dental emergency, it’s reassuring to know your care is in experienced hands. At Rusch Dental Group, we’ve successfully treated a wide variety of urgent dental problems. We’ll help you recover quickly and keep your smile healthy. Using modern technology such as digital X-rays and digital scanners, our team can pinpoint the cause of your discomfort. We’ll create an effective treatment plan without delay. You may need:

  • Tooth Fillings Our tooth-colored composite fillings restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. The material looks like a regular part of your enamel. It contains no metal or mercury. We preserve as much of your healthy tooth structure as possible.
  • Dental Crowns – We strengthen and rebuild teeth that are cracked, weakened, or heavily decayed. We design your crown to match your overall smile. You can talk, laugh, and eat your favorite foods like normal again.
  • Root Canal Treatment – Your dentist removes infection from inside the tooth. This will stop your pain and save your natural tooth from extraction. We seal the tooth and often restore it with a crown for added strength.
  • Tooth Extractions – If a tooth is too damaged to be saved, your dentist can perform a gentle extraction to protect your oral health. We also offer options for replacing the tooth. You will maintain your smile’s appearance and function.
  • Dental Veneers – Our team can conceal chips, cracks, or uneven edges with custom-made veneers. Veneers enhance your smile’s beauty and also add a layer of durability to the treated tooth.

Common Questions About Dental Emergencies
What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes any urgent problem that causes pain, affects your ability to eat or speak, or risks further damage to your teeth or gums. Common examples are severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, loose dental work, swelling, or injury to the mouth. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it’s best to call us right away. We can help you determine if you need immediate care and guide you on how to protect your tooth until your appointment.

How quickly should I see a dentist for an emergency?

You should contact a dentist as soon as possible for a dental emergency. Many issues, such as knocked-out teeth or severe infections, require immediate attention to prevent permanent damage. At Rusch Dental Group, we do our best to offer same-day or next-day appointments for urgent needs. Even if your pain is mild, don’t wait. Addressing problems early can prevent them from becoming more serious and expensive to treat later.

How can I prevent dental emergencies?

While not all dental emergencies can be avoided, you can reduce your risk by maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular checkups, and addressing dental problems promptly. Wearing a custom mouthguard during sports can protect against injuries, and avoiding chewing on hard objects like ice or pens can prevent cracks or chips. If you grind your teeth at night, a night guard can protect them from damage. Prevention is key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
