7 Benefits of Emergency Dentistry You Shouldn’t Ignore

Dental emergencies don’t wait — so why should you? At Franklin A. Landers, D.D.S., F.A.G.D., Dr. Franklin Landers in Boynton Beach, Florida, provides fast, effective care when you need it most.

From broken teeth to sudden toothaches, we take care of urgent dental problems thanks to years of expertise and the very best technology. You won’t be left waiting or guessing. Pain relief starts with one call.

1. End Pain and Discomfort Immediately

Dental pain can stop you in your tracks. Eating, sleeping, and even talking can feel like torture. 

Emergency care is designed to help you feel better fast, whether you have a lost crown, cracked tooth, or excruciating toothache. Dr. Landers and his team work quickly to fix the problem and ease your pain.

You walk out feeling relieved and with a clear plan for your post-care. 

2. Avoid Further Health Issues

Sharp tooth pain? Sometimes, it’s more than just a tooth.

Untreated issues, such as abscesses, can spread an infection throughout your neck, jaw, and further into your body through your bloodstream.

Left alone, a local infection can become life-threatening. Emergency care can catch these infections early before they become an ambulance ride to the hospital. 

Not to mention, the longer you wait, the more expensive your treatment could be.

3. We Expertly Handle Many Types of Dental Emergencies

We treat a lot of dental emergencies. A few common ones include:

• Knocked-out teeth
• Lost crowns or fillings
• Broken or cracked teeth
• Swelling or abscesses
• Bleeding gums
• Oral injuries

Dr. Landers has the expertise to handle these situations quickly. He’ll quickly diagnose your problem and initiate the right treatment without delay.

However, if you have a head injury or jaw trauma, it’s best to visit an emergency room first.

4. You’ll Have Access to an Extensive List of Treatment Options

Dr. Landers delivers a full range of emergency treatments.

Root canals. Simple fillings. Extractions. Crowns. Even with full restorations, you’ll get the right treatment for your situation. Medications such as pain relievers or antibiotics may be prescribed as well. 

5. Preserve Your Natural Teeth and Smile

A lost tooth doesn’t have to be lost forever. Dr. Landers can replace your missing tooth fast. 

We can save teeth that would otherwise be lost to infection or injury with quick action. Got a knocked-out tooth? Time is of the essence. Deep cavity? Fast care might save the root. Keeping more of your real teeth saves money and hassles later on. 

6. Advice That Can Help You Prevent Future Dental Emergencies

A little prevention can go a long way. Here are a few suggestions to lower your risk:

• Brush twice daily (using the proper technique)
• Floss before bed (using the proper technique)
• For sports or teeth grinding at night, wear a mouthguard
• Never ignore small discomforts; they don’t always go away.

Good oral health habits and regular checkups can prevent or catch problems before they become emergencies.

7. Prompt Service That’s Convenient for You
