At Discovery Dental, we understand that dental
emergencies happen at the most inconvenient
times. You have a presentation at work at 800
a.m., but you wake up at 200 in the morning with
throbbing tooth pain. Your child fractures a
tooth at baseball practice when you're scheduled
for a professional family photo in a few days.

Dr. Vanama and her entire staff want you to feel
comfortable, no matter what day or time it is.
That's why we offer 24 hour dental care in
Issaquah, Washington.

When Might You Need a 24-Hour Dentist?When it
comes to your healthcare, only you can judge
whether a situation is an emergency or not. If
you think that you or a family member needs to be
seen and it can't wait until regular office
hours, please don't hesitate to call our office
at [phone] to request immediate assistance.

The following are some of the most common dental
emergenciesTooth or Facial Pain A sudden onset
of pain anywhere inside of the mouth or the lower
face could indicate an infection or a dental
disorder like TMJ. If you notice a tear or
laceration in the cheeks, tongue, or gums, clean
the area as best you can and contact us for
additional treatment.

Knocked Out Tooth If you or a family member
knock out a tooth in an accident, try to gather
as much of the tooth as possible and place it in
a small container. You should also place gauze in
the tooth socket to try to stop the bleeding. Dr.
Vanama may be able to reattach some or all of
your natural tooth if you get to the office
promptly.

Loose Tooth You should seek immediate attention
for a tooth that was previously secure but now
feels loose. Do not try to force the tooth back
into position as this could cause additional
damage.
8
Fractured or Cracked Tooth A minor chip to your
tooth doesn't normally require emergency
treatment, but you should call for an appointment
as soon as possible. However, a cracked or
fractured tooth could indicate damage to its
internal structure. It's also likely to cause
pain.

Dr. Vanama will examine the tooth to determine
what caused the crack or fracture, provide pain
relief, and develop a long-term treatment
strategy.If you or a family member are bleeding,
in pain, or notice any unusual swelling, you're
definitely dealing with a dental emergency.
