Am I having an Orthodontic Emergency?

It’s rare that an orthodontic issue is an emergency, but when it does happen, it can be hard to determine if you need immediate care. Sometimes wires and brackets become loose and cause irritation, and occasionally pain, in the mouth. If this is the case, we recommend contacting your orthodontist as soon as possible during business hours. However, if you are suffering from an injury that’s causing continuous, sharp pain, it’s important to call your doctor immediately. Fallen teeth, though rare with braces, or a tooth that becomes loose, are also orthodontic emergencies and you should contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Did you know…

If your tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, not the root. Holding the root causes damage to the nerves in the tooth!

Excellent dental care! My procedure was performed flawlessly and I was very satisfied with the result. Very friendly and helpful staff. Tranquil, relaxing atmosphere.  Will definitely be a returning patient.

I was recommended by a friend who happens to be a dental assistant in this office. I grind my teeth at night so I initially scheduled a consultation for a cracked tooth. Dr. Griffith was great! He fixed my tooth with zero pain and his office made me a mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding. I have scheduled my next cleaning here and can’t wait to see everyone! Thanks for the recommendation Scarlet!

Dr. Griffith has been my dentist for many years. I have always received friendly and timely service as well as fantastic results at his office. I am pleased with the no prep veneers he did on my lateral incisors several years ago. Highly recommend this practice!
