To ensure that we can consistently provide the highest quality of care at all times, we only offer same-day and emergency dental appointments for our existing patients.
As the leading emergency dentist in Delaware, Ohio, we understand that it can be frustrating when you have an emergency and need to be seen by your dentist. That’s why we offer same-day appointments to our patients.
The last thing we want our patients to do is wait for an appointment when they knock out a tooth during a friendly pick-up basketball game. Same-day dental appointments are essential to ease our patients’ worries and save the tooth if possible.
At Batterton DDS, if you have a dental emergency, and you are an established patient, we will make time to see you even if we have a full schedule. Your teeth are important not only for function but also for maintaining your specific smile.
There are different types of dental emergencies, and the course of treatment will vary depending on the severity of the problem. For example, a broken tooth is a dental emergency that will require a trip to the dentist. If you can find the pieces of your tooth, rinse off any visible debris and bring them to your appointment. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce swelling.
These are everyday situations that demand immediate attention from an urgent care dentist.
Dental checkups have become routine for most of us, including professional cleaning, X-rays, and consultation every six months. But what happens when you experience a dental emergency?
With dental emergencies, it is usually evident that immediate action is necessary to address severe pain or discomfort in the mouth that could result in bleeding gums or dislodged teeth. Some instances, like lost fillings or chipped veneers, may be inconvenient but do not require emergency care.
We know that dental emergencies can be scary, and our number one priority is to ensure you feel relaxed. That’s why when our patients visit Dr. Eric Batterton’s office for a dental emergency, he will first ensure you’re comfortable. Then, he will examine the affected area to determine the best action plan. Below are examples of procedures we’ll take care of as your emergency dentist in Delaware, Ohio:
