Emergency Dentist in Peekskill
If you ever experience any type of dental trauma, we hope you will contact us at Montrose Dental Associates to see our
emergency dentist in Peekskill, Dr. Daniel J. Lyu.
Our
emergency dentist in Peekskill is highly trained in providing emergency dental care for patients who have suffered dental trauma. Two common types of dental trauma are when teeth are dislodged or avulsed. When a tooth is dislodged, it means that the tooth has been inadvertently pushed back up into the gums. Sometimes, our dentist is able to reposition the tooth, and no additional treatment is needed. However, if the tooth suffers any type of damage to the pulp, the tooth will eventually need to have a root canal procedure. Our dentist will be able to determine exactly what type of treatment is needed. When a root canal procedure is necessary, it is usually performed several weeks after the accident has occurred. Another type of dental trauma is when a tooth is avulsed. This means that the tooth has been knocked out of the patient’s mouth. In this case, time is of the essence. It is important that you contact our dental office immediately for an emergency dental appointment. At that time, our dental staff will give you instructions on how to safely transport the tooth back to our office. You never want to carry the tooth by its roots; carry if by the enamel portion instead. There is a possibility that our dentist will be able to replace the tooth into your mouth, and save the tooth. Generally, you will need to have a root canal procedure several weeks later in order to complete treatment. If the tooth cannot be saved, it can be replaced with either a dental implant or a dental bridge.
