When You Should See An Emergency Dentist

Dental emergencies are unpredictable and inconvenient. The good news is that Dr. Robin Lobato and Dr. Sean Truong are always available to assist you, so there’s no reason you should minimize an emergency. All you have to do is contact our office in Summerlin & Las Vegas, NV.

Among the most common emergencies we see are lost fillings, lost crowns, and tooth pain. Lost fillings and lost crowns are very similar. A key difference, however, is that fillings are used to repair teeth with cavities but crowns are used to cover broken or damaged teeth.

Over time, it’s not uncommon for fillings and crowns to grow loose and fall out. If you lose a crown or a filling, hot or cold temperatures will likely begin to cause pain because of the exposed tooth. The discomfort might seem manageable, but it’s better to get these situations fixed as soon as possible so you can avoid getting food stuck or developing an infection.

Unlike a broken filling or crown, tooth pain is more likely to make itself known constantly, every day. It can make sleeping, chewing, swallowing, and eating properly more difficult. Depending on what is causing pain, you may require a filling, a crown, or possibly an extraction.

If you’re experiencing any problems with your teeth or suspect that something is off, it’s best to contact our Summerlin & Las Vegas, NV, office immediately to avoid further damage. Dr. Robin Lobato and Dr. Sean Truong are always here to help, especially when your dental health is at risk.
