Emergencies
Sudden toothaches or an accident can cause panic. Dr El-Khoury and our entire team are here to help ease your mind when a dental emergency occurs. We welcome you to contact our Fairfield dental clinic at the first sign of a problem so we can have you feeling like yourself again quickly.
We strive to treat dental emergencies fast – usually on the same day.
Dental conditions like decay do not usually cause pain until they are well advanced and impact the nerve protected deep inside your tooth. Anytime you experience pain in a tooth, it’s your body’s way of alerting you to a problem. Ignoring the problem will likely cause it to worsen and may even result in the need for an extraction.
Common dental emergencies:
- Knocked out or loose tooth
- Pain and inflammation
- Extreme sensitivity
- Broken tooth
- Damaged or lost filling, crown or bridge
- Sports injuries
If you are ever in doubt about whether you need an emergency dental visit, contact Dr James El-Khoury and Associates to speak with one of our friendly and knowledgeable staff.
