What is Emergency Dentistry?

If you have a chipped or broken tooth, it’s important to call your dentist right away. They can provide the treatments necessary to address the severity of your injury. If it’s a minor chip or cracks, your dentist may polish the tooth to smooth the surface. However, if your tooth is cracked all the way through, it may require a dental crown or filling to repair the damage.

Toothache

A severe toothache or oral pain can be a sign of something serious, such as a cavity, infection, or abscess. If you are experiencing a toothache, call us immediately for an emergency appointment. In the meantime, you can try rinsing your mouth with saltwater and applying a cold compress to the outside of your mouth.

Chipped or Broken tooth

If you have a chipped or broken tooth, it’s important to call your dentist right away. They can provide the treatments necessary to address the severity of your injury. If it’s a minor chip or cracks, your dentist may polish the tooth to smooth the surface. However, if your tooth is cracked all the way through, it may require a dental crown or filling to repair the damage.

Knocked-out Tooth

If your tooth gets knocked out, pick it up by the crown and rinse it briefly with cold water. If possible, place it back into the socket. Hold it in place with a wet cotton ball or gauze. If you can’t do this, place the tooth in a container of milk or water with a pinch of salt. Call your Dentist Colorado Springs CO immediately.

Jaw Fracture or Dislocation

A jaw fracture or dislocation can occur after trauma from an accident or sports injury.

In severe cases, the jaw may be broken or dislocated, causing extreme pain. If you have injured your jaw, avoid applying pressure on it. If it is broken, you may need to wear a splint. If the jaw is dislocated, you will need to get it repositioned as soon as possible.

Objects Caught Between Teeth

Sometimes, patients cannot remove an object that is stuck in between their teeth. This can cause significant pain. You could attempt to remove the object with dental floss; but if that doesn’t work, you should go to the dentist for help. While a dental appointment might be unwanted, the dentist can usually remove the object and then provide pain management tips to help the patient manage any pain.

Abscess (infection)

An abscess is an infection that has formed inside a tooth or in the gum. It is caused by a pocket of decay or bacteria. Pain and sensitivity can occur when pressure is placed on the tooth. It appears as a yellow or green color on X-rays.

Shawn McCaslin
Dr Moore is remarkably caring and attentive. My teeth don’t fit together well, and Dr Moore is reaching out to my orthodontist to work on my behalf. Abby is a highly proficient dental hygienist. My teeth are sensitive to ultrasound, and Abby worked to minimize discomfort, while still doing a great job of cleaning my teeth.
Melissa Murphy
I am a fearful dentist patient. This place has made my experience much less fearful. The kindness & thorough attention is amazing from this dentist. He helped me feel so comfortable and unashamed about my missing teeth and gum disease. They are willing to work with me and are very patient with me as it seems to take me a few months to return. I have much anxiety about the dentist office, especially with no dental insurance. The ladies at the front desk are so friendly & courteous. The office has a very relaxed feel and no condemnation about the poor condition of my mouth. Instead, nothing but assurance that they can help me and we can take it as slowly or as fast as I want or can afford. The dentist really took his time with me and it allowed me to feel not rushed. I would highly recommend this dentist whether you just need routine care or higher level of care as my teeth & gums require. This place has felt like a 2nd home to me and I have nothing but anxiety over the dentist office. This place has acknowledged my anxiety and they don’t try to push it aside but instead work with it and with me. I greatly appreciate that.

So I went in in incredibly bad pain. All my teeth hurt, and I clearly had been in a loosing battle with my teeth. I felt defeated. Quinn got me in talked to me. Then Dr Hill came in and talked to me. At no point did anyone make me fell bad or anything, in fact they made me feel welcome and good about myself. So I pulled the trigger on their Diamond smile service. (50 grand). And at first it seems like alot of money. But after I had the surgery and was on my way to healing. I felt better about myself and more confident, and my Happiness had returned but in a stronger way. Now I look at the price and feel it was just pennies. My Happiness n health is priceless!!! And I can only say thank you n pay my bill as I feel like a new person, better looking stronger and healthier. Priceless!!.

After moving here from out of state, my husband and I were very nervous to start with a new dentist. We were/are so very impressed with the entire experience we’ve had since we’ve started coming here. I saw Dr. Umphlett whom was gentle, kind and extremely thorough. My husband saw Dr. Moore whom was equally gentle, kind, and thorough. We both see Abby as our hygienist, she is awesome! Not only is North End Dental absolutely beautiful on the inside, the people who work here are so kind and make sure that you are taken care of. We will not be seeing another dentist as long as North End Dental is in business. Thank you North End for changing our perspective on dentistry and for taking such good care of us!
Katie Bugge
I was greeted with a brand new hygienist after check in. She had just been at North End Dental a week. It would have been nice if someone had called to let me know that my regular hygienist was no longer with the practice. She was amazing. Allison was our new hygienist and she too was amazing. This is why I have given a 5 star. I have always had wonderful service at North End Dental. Allison listened to some things that the former Hygienist had done and was very acceptable to those as well as her own touch. She did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. She is a wonderful addition to North End Dental. WELCOME!!!!! Please don’t loose that customer service. I owned my own business for 15 years. I sold it in 2018. Customer service is so very important. It is lacking in todays businesses.

Christy Tanaiewski
I cracked a premolar in half. I’ve had a lifetime of dental fear, for good reason. I was super nervous to see a new dentist to extract this tooth. But, Dr. Umphlett was awesome. She managed to not only numb me up but noticed when I started to feel anything. I knew right away that I was in good hands. She explained everything in great detail. Even with my decades of dental trauma, I feel completely comfortable seeing her again and again. Thanks Dr. Umphlett!
Cody Schmid
I recently had all 4 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Hill. It’s difficult not to be nervous about such a procedure but having people who are so experienced really helps. The shots were as painless as they could be, the extraction process took maybe 20 minutes for all 4, and the price was half what I was expecting. Great place to go, happy I picked them and very pleased with how everything turned out.
