Emergency Symptoms That May Warrant A Visit To Your Boise Dentist

If you’re reading this post right now, the chances are good that you or someone you love is experiencing unwanted dental symptoms. It doesn’t matter what day or time it is, our bodies eventually let us know when there is a problem. However, determining whether or not the symptoms you are experiencing require a visit your Boise dentist can be difficult. That’s why Summit Dental would like to provide you with a list of emergency symptoms to pay attention to that may warrant an emergency visit to our practice.

What We Consider As Serious Symptoms

Below is a list of symptoms that may require an emergency visit to Summit Dental. If you are a Treasure Valley patient who is experiencing one or more of these symptoms, it’s important to contact your Boise dentist as soon as possible. Waiting for a more convenient time is not something that we advise if you can avoid it. Delaying necessary treatment can result in significant damage or infection, requiring more invasive, time-consuming, and costly procedures.

• Swollen gum or face
• A severe toothache
• Unusual sensitivity
• Bleeding from the teeth or gums
• Jaw pain

There are many dangerous dental conditions underlying the above symptoms that Treasure Valley residents should be aware of. Unless you are a doctor or a dentist there is no way for most people to self-diagnose themselves simply by doing a basic internet search. What you may assume to be a basic toothache can actually turn out to be an abscessed tooth or something more problematic that requires immediate attention.

What To Expect When You Contact Summit Dental

At Summit Dental Group, we will do everything we can to get you into our office as soon as possible once you contact us for a dental emergency. During your visit, you can expect your Boise dentist to perform a comprehensive dental exam where we will take x-rays in order to help determine the cause of your discomfort. From there you will receive immediate treatment for your dental problem and if needed you will be given a prescription to treat any underlying infection. Our Treasure Valley patients will also be provided with a list of at-home instructions or additional appointments that need to be scheduled.

Providing you with high-quality, effective care that relieves your discomfort is our #1 priority as well as providing you with peace of mind knowing you’re in good hands.
