Receive emergency dental care at Grandview Center for Dentistry

When you need immediate medical care, you visit the hospital’s emergency room for assistance. But what about emergency dental care? Dr. Bridget Lervick and her team at Grandview Center for Dentistry in Edina, Minnesota, are pleased to offer urgent dental care for new or returning patients needing immediate assistance. Let’s discuss dental emergencies and what situations warrant a visit to an emergency dentist.

What is a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is an urgent situation in which professional help is needed to prevent serious damage to your teeth, gums, and other oral structures. This type of situation can arise from various causes, including toothaches, abscesses, impacted or broken teeth, mouth injuries, and soft tissue trauma. Dr. Lervick strongly encourages you to seek treatment for your dental emergencies as soon as possible so the condition does not worsen and becomes more challenging. With prompt care from a qualified emergency dentist, you can often avoid further pain or permanent damage to your teeth and gums.

Common signs you may be experiencing a dental emergency include:

  • Severe toothache pain
  • Swelling around the jaw area
  • Bleeding in the mouth
  • Difficulty opening or closing the jaw (lockjaw)
  • Protruding, chipped, discolored, or broken teeth
  • A dull ache that radiates from the face to other parts of the head

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Dr. Lervick and her team as soon as possible. She can advise you on the best course of action for your particular situation. Depending on your emergency’s severity, you may require urgent dental care procedures such as emergency tooth extraction or root canal therapy.
