When dental pain or injury strikes, waiting isn't an option. Baraka Smiles Dental offers same-day emergency appointments to swiftly address your needs and provide relief. Contact us promptly for immediate care.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Experiencing dental pain or trauma demands immediate attention. At Baraka Smiles Dental, we understand the urgency and offer same-day emergency appointments. Don't delay – contact us right away to alleviate your suffering. Some common dental emergencies are:

• Knocked-out teeth. Should a tooth get knocked out, locate it and bring it along to your appointment. There's a chance we can re-implant it, but if the damage is extensive, an implant may be necessary. Your swift action and our expertise will determine the best path forward for restoring your smile.
• Broken or Chipped teeth. Should you encounter a broken or chipped tooth, preserve any fragments and bring them to your appointment. While we may be able to repair the tooth in some instances, severe damage could necessitate extraction. Your prompt action and our expertise will guide the best course of action for your dental health.
• Toothaches. A toothache is often a warning sign of an underlying issue like infection or abscess. Seeking prompt treatment is vital to prevent worsening damage to your tooth.

What To Do in a Dental Emergency

If you have a dental emergency, the first thing you should do is call Baraka Smiles Dental Clinic. We will work to get you in for an appointment as soon as possible, typically within the same day. In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to help ease your pain and keep your teeth safe:

      To help ease a toothache, you can rinse your mouth with warm water and take over-the-counter pain medication. 

      If you have a broken or chipped tooth, it's important to avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. You can also rinse your mouth with warm water and place a cold compress on your cheek to help reduce swelling. 

      If you have a tooth that has been knocked out, it's important to try to find the tooth and bring it with you to your appointment. In the meantime, you can rinse your mouth with warm water and place the tooth in a cup of milk.
