emergency dentist FresnoThey can come out of nowhere, and when it is least convenient: dental emergencies. They can range from a toothache in the middle of the night to a tooth knocked out during a weekend football game. Whatever that issue is, you need dental care, and you need it now.

OnCall Dental provides people in the Fresno area with top-quality, emergency dental care, and it’s there for you 24/7. We have a caring staff, and accept most PPO insurance plans.

In most dental emergency cases, the biggest issue is pain; they are seldom life-threatening. But extreme pain is serious business, and that’s one of the reasons OnCall Dental is here.

Some dental emergencies require quick action, like a knocked-out tooth. If you get a tooth knocked out, it is essential that you get care as soon as possible. If you are treated within thirty minutes, a knocked out tooth can usually be saved. It can even be saved if it’s treated within an hour. Once you get beyond that, however, the chances of saving the tooth decline.

Another serious dental emergency is a swollen face. This could mean an infected tooth, bone infection, or gum infection. If this happens to you, do not delay; this is a case where an infection could be life-threatening. Prompt, professional treatment is essential.

If you have a severe or chronic toothache, give us a call. It could be an abscess or infection that needs treatment. Brush and floss your teeth and apply a cold compress to the outside of the area. You can also take some Ibuprofen.

OnCall Dental provides evening hours for your convenience. We know that there may not be time for a phone call; walk-ins are always welcome.

When you are surprised by a dental emergency in the Fresno and Clovis area, call us at OnCall Dental right away for the guidance and treatment you need.

Emergency Dental Care in Fresno

Murphy’s Law teaches us that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

That applies to a lot of things – everything, really – including our teeth. Why is it that dental emergencies only seem to happen on weekends, or at night, when it’s after-hours for most dental practices?

In Fresno, Clovis, and Hanford, OnCall Dental Urgent Care is there for you, 24/7, with emergency dental care. Did you knock a tooth out, playing what was supposed to be a game of touch football? Did your son or daughter wake up in the middle of the night with an excruciating toothache?

Sometimes we think we can wait until the dentist office opens in the morning, or on Monday. That might seem pragmatic, especially for those with a high pain threshold. But some emergencies really do require immediate attention, like what dentists call an avulsed tooth. (That’s a tooth that’s been knocked out.)

Avulsed teeth can usually be saved if they are treated within half an hour. That’s a narrow window, so you can see the importance of emergency care.

An abscessed tooth may not require immediate care, in the sense of being an immediate threat to dental health. But the pain can be considerable. There is more than one cause of an abscess, including cavities and cracked teeth. The sooner it is treated, the better.

Because Murphy’s Law means a dental emergency will happen at the worst possible time, OnCall Dental is open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. But it doesn’t have to be an emergency: we also provide a wide range of general dentistry services.

Above all, we are there to take care of you. We can get you through any dental emergency. Walk-ins are always welcome.

What Will An Emergency Dentist Do?

Typically speaking, when an dental emergency happens people want to see a dentist as soon as they can. It is important to note the types of services emergency dental clinics offer. Most of the time true dental emergency procedures are “gap procedures” meaning they only really focus on the immediate problem to stop pain, or an infection from spreading. Otherwise, follow up appointments are made to further treat the root cause of the problem.

Many times patients find that the momentary relief provided by some emergency dentists has a surprising root cause that can require some additional work. Some instances include:

  • Gum disease
  • Crowns
  • Bridges
  • Veneers
  • Additional cosmetic work
  • Additional x-rays

This is because many times emergency work does not always have access to their full team or equipment. Also, they may need time, such as taking impressions for a new crown. Emergency dentists are there to treat immediate pain or infection of teeth so that it does not spread. Emergency dentists will not take care of additional services such as routine cleanings or more permanent solutions to what brought the patient in originally.  Call Dr. Mirelez now at <a href=”tel:559-900-2332″ onClick=”ga(‘send’, ‘event’, ‘CallFromMobile’, ‘content’, document.URL);”>559-900-2332</a> if you are in need.

What is Considered Emergency Dental Services?

Many times when something happens to our mouths and teeth, we automatically assume it is an emergency – and in that moment, to us, it is. However, it is important to know what is a true emergency and what could save some time and money for your family. Conversely, this is something many people think about and will wait until the doctor opens, when really there is a much more immediate need for health concerns.

Some common injuries that happen and need immediate attention include:

  • Broken teeth: not a chipped tooth, but a break that is deep or painful. This is typically indicative of nerve damage and should be addressed sooner than later.
  • Missing teeth: sometimes teeth fall out. Sometimes they break while eating food. These situations should be addressed immediately.
  • Immense pain: if you are experiencing abnormal amounts of pain, then it is highly likely you may be experiencing and abscess or some type of infection. Serious pain is our body’s way of telling us something is wrong. If the pain is interfering with your daily activities, its time to see a dentist, regardless of time of day.
  • Fever: if you have tooth pain accompanied by a fever, if could be sign of an infection.
  • Facial trauma: any major facial injuries that has resulted in lost or broken teeth.

If you experience any issues during office hours, call the office immediately. If you experience them during office closure, reach out to the office and the on-call dentist. They can advise you what to do for treatment until another follow up appointment can be scheduled during regular office hours. It is imperative to your health that you seek proper medical treatment in a timely manner to save both pain and money.
