About Emergency Dental Care
At Avon Dental Group, we understand the stress and concern that dental emergencies can cause. Our team of caring general dentists is here when you need us most. We offer 24-hour emergency dental care for our patients and strive to take care of any emergency needs the same day. Oral injuries and damage often result from accidents when playing sports, trip-and-falls, and direct trauma to the face or mouth. Whether you feel discomfort or not, it is still important to have your mouth evaluated after any injury to screen for any hidden damage. Our Avon, CT dental team places dental emergencies as a priority. If you or a loved one needs care from an emergency dentist, please contact our practice right away.
Type of Dental Emergencies
You may need emergency treatment if a crown, bridge, denture, or other restoration breaks or falls out, you are in pain, or you have a broken or knocked-out tooth (which requires immediate care). In some circumstances, you may be unsure of how quickly you need to seek treatment (such as with a loose tooth or restoration, trauma that does not cause pain or bleeding, or a chipped tooth). Any time you have an injury to your mouth, including your gums, teeth, or jawbone, it is important to get in touch with our office right away. Our empathetic team can help you decide how quickly to come in, offer strategies to reduce any pain, and inform you of how to store your tooth or dental restoration until you arrive. Even minor injuries can cause larger problems if not treated right away, so it is better to err on the side of caution and contact our office immediately.
Though we treat all types of dental emergencies, some of the most common situations we see include:
- Toothaches
- Knocked-out teeth
- Dislodged teeth or restorations
- Broken teeth or restorations
- Abscessed or infected teeth
- Oral lacerations
What To Expect during Care
Every dental emergency situation is different. To provide the highest level of care for your specific needs, we will carefully evaluate your mouth and work to get you out of discomfort as quickly as possible. Digital x-rays may be taken to screen for any unseen damage. Once we understand the extent of your condition, one of our dentists will speak with you about treatment options. Whenever possible, we strive to provide treatment during your emergency visit. However, you may require a follow-up appointment to further address your needs or complete your care. In some cases, our on-site dental lab may be utilized to fulfill lab-related emergencies within the same day, such as when a denture breaks or needs other repairs.
Avon Dental Group Reviews
Best dentist! 🦷 I’d travel far for Dr Geelands gentle and thorough exam.
Best dentist! I’d travel far for Dr Geelands gentle and thorough exam.
X-Ray tech was pleasant and professional. Dr. Fagan was gentle and her explanations of needs etc were very detailed and comprehensive. Dental Hygienist Jessica was fantastic. I’m so used to jumping out of the chair and white knuckles gripping the armrests at other dentists offices. None of that. Jessica was so gentle and thorough, at the same time. She cared for me and made my comfort her priority. Best dental experience ever!
First time visiting. I changed offices because I felt my previous one wanted to charge me for something I know I did not need done. I got a second opinion at Avon Dental Group. My hygienist Kaylee was amazing and attentive to detail. I will for sure be returning again.
Wonderful and pleasant. Refreshing!
