What is Emergency Dentistry?

We offer emergency dentistry to patients in our Midland to treat dental emergencies and injuries. Our team can treat most common emergencies and injuries in-office. You can trust that the team at Basin Dentistry will be there if there is an emergency situation requiring immediate attention from the dentist. Dental emergencies can be stressful and scary, often leaving patients wondering what to do next.

Dental emergencies that require immediate assistance include severe toothache, fractured tooth, teeth that have been loosened or pushed out of position, pain or swelling due to an infection, or severe pain caused by tooth decay or gum disease. Additionally, if you experience an injury inside the mouth, it is imperative to see our dentist as soon as possible.

Knocked Out Teeth

If you or a family member is suffering from a knocked out tooth, don’t hesitate to contact one of the team members at Basin Dentistry.

A friendly and professional staff member is standing by to help you. Follow these steps to ensure you get the care you need:

• Call to schedule an emergency appointment.
• Properly handle the tooth by the crown, staying away from the root. Touching the root of the tooth could potentially cause further damage, hindering bone reattachment.
• Carefully rinse the tooth in water to remove any impurities; but, never scrub the tooth.
• Because it is important not to let the tooth dry out, if possible, return the tooth to the pocket inside the mouth.
• If you cannot keep the tooth inside the pocket, wrap it in a clean, dry cloth and cover with milk or saliva.

Dental Anxiety

At Basin Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies are often painful as well as stressful. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry options to help make our patients as comfortable as possible. Depending on your needs, we can recommend oral sedation, IV sedation and laughing gas.
