At Pocock Family Dental, we understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time, causing significant pain and disruption to your life. That's why we prioritize providing prompt and effective emergency dental care. We offer emergency appointments to address urgent dental issues, ensuring you receive timely relief and treatment.
Dr. Pocock and his team provide top emergency dental services in Twin Falls to treat common emergencies like:
Tooth Pain
Severe tooth pain can stem from various issues, including infections, cavities, or impacted teeth. Our team will perform a thorough examination to identify the source of the pain and provide immediate relief, which may involve pain medication, antibiotics, or root canal therapy, working to address the underlying cause to prevent future occurrences of severe or lasting tooth pain.
Knocked-Out or Broken Teeth
A knocked-out tooth requires immediate attention. If possible, rinse the tooth (avoiding the root) and attempt to reinsert it into the socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk or saliva and bring it with you to Pocock Family Dental. Broken teeth can also be painful and require prompt treatment to prevent infection or further damage. We will assess the damage and provide appropriate restoration, such as bonding, crowns, or veneers.
Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is a serious infection that can cause severe pain, swelling, and fever. To treat the condition, our team will drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics to combat the infection, and address the underlying cause, which may involve root canal therapy or extraction. It is very important to get this type of infection treated quickly, to prevent it from spreading. Dr. Pocock and his team will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, relieving your pain and restoring your smile as quickly as possible.
Broken Dental Restorations
Broken restorations such as dental crowns or fillings can create sharp edges, and leave the inner portion of the tooth exposed to infection. At your emergency appointment, we will evaluate the damaged restoration and provide a temporary or permanent repair as needed, to restore proper function and prevent further damage.
