No. If you're experiencing a dental emergency, you do not need to be an existing patient to contact Pryor Dental for assistance. Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, and prompt treatment is often essential for relieving pain, preventing complications, and protecting your oral health, whether or not you’ve been to our office before.
Whether you're dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, a lost crown, swelling, or any other urgent concern, the first step is to call the office as soon as possible. Our expert team can discuss your symptoms, help determine the urgency of the situation, and schedule an emergency dentistry appointment when appropriate.
What Should I Do During a Dental Emergency?
Many dental emergencies become more complicated when treatment is delayed. If you have a knocked-out tooth, try to keep it moist by placing it in a container of milk without touching the root. If a tooth is chipped or broken, rinse gently with warm water and save any loose fragments. For swelling or discomfort, an icepack can provide temporary relief until you can see an emergency dentist.
If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as a true dental emergency, it's worth calling for guidance.
