At Mirage Dental Centre, we care about our patients, and we want to make sure we are available to help with Emergency Dentistry issues you may be experiencing. We consider any situation in which you are experiencing pain or discomfort as a dental emergency, and we recommend that it be treated as such.
Pain from a sudden or a lingering toothache, a fractured or knocked-out tooth, or an accident that involves the teeth and/or jaw should be treated by your dentist immediately.
At Mirage Dental, we reserve time in our daily schedule for dental emergencies. We will accommodate both existing patients and those that are unable to see their regular dentist promptly. We will provide you with assistance over the phone and advise you on how to remain as comfortable as possible until you can be seen by one of our dentists.
The best way to prevent dental emergencies from occurring is to see your Mirage Dental dentist regularly for dental exams. This may be the most important preventative action you can take. During your dental exam, our Dentists check for signs of weakened teeth, loosened or ageing restorations, and early signs of inflammation that would indicate the presence of infection and the possibility of periodontal disease.
Another important preventative action you can take to avoid dental emergencies is to wear a properly fitting mouth guard while playing contact sports. Research has shown that a large percentage of dental injuries are sports-related, and wearing a properly fitting mouth guard can prevent many of these injuries.
