  team is well-trained to take care of such
  situations.

Severe mouth pain

• If you are in immediate pain, you may need to
  seek immediate care. In some cases, pain can
  cause nausea, impede motor skills and prevent you
  from driving. Prior to visiting, please contact
  us by phone immediately or have someone drive you
  to our clinic. 
• If you are bleeding, we advise call emergency
  medical services at 911 or Strathcona Community
  Hospital at 780-449-5380 (open 24 hours).

Acute toothaches or broken teeth

• Intense pain can follow an injury to teeth that
  have been chipped, broken, or dislocated. It is
  important that you visit an emergency dental
  clinic where immediate care can be provided to
  lessen injury and prevent further damage of the
  tooth. 
• Toothaches can also be caused by tooth decay,
  abscesses, gum disease, or damaged fillings,
  mouth infections, grinding teeth (bruxism), an
  abnormal bite and tooth eruptions (in the case of
  babies / young-children)

• In other cases, a patient can experience pains
  that feel like toothaches, but are in fact caused
  by TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder), sinus
  infections, ear infections, or muscular tensions.
  Pain in the teeth and jaw areas can also be a
  symptom of heart disease, and our dentists will
  refer you to a physician if they feel you are at
  risk.

Toothache Treatment

• After being admitted, your dentist will perform
  a thorough oral examination to determine the
  cause of your pain. If required, an x-ray may
  need to be undertaken though this is a safe and
  normal procedure. For infected teeth, this may
  require tooth extraction or a root canal
  procedure. Pain medication and antibiotics may
  also be prescribed to assist with healing and to
  provide you relief.

• Bennett Dental Sherwood Park will determine what
  immediate emergency treatments are required and
  follow-up appointments would address treating the
  root issue, stabilizing, and putting in place a
  treatment plan.

Chipped, Cracked or Broken Teeth Treatment

• Once you have had an initial oral examination at
  an emergency dental clinic, they will determine
  if immediate treatment is required or schedule an
  appointment. You may be prescribed pain
  medication or antibiotics. In most situations for
  damaged teeth, an appointment will need to be
  scheduled so a full-procedure can be
  administered.

Common procedures

• Filling if there is only small portion of
  surface damage or chipping of the tooth enamel,
  your tooth can be repaired with a filling. For
  visible teeth Bennett Dental can apply
  tooth-coloured composite resins as part of the
  filling process known as bonding. 
• Veneers  for larger visible chips and
  fractures, restorative materials such as plastic
  composites and porcelain can be used to protect
  and improve the aesthetics of a tooth.

10

• Dental Crowns For areas that have seen
  significant tooth decay, we can cap your tooth
  with a crown that will protect it and improve
  aesthetic.
• Root Canal In the case for teeth where the
  damage is significant enough that it has
  penetrated the protective enamel, exposing the
  pulp, a root canal may need to be performed.

Removing Stuck Objects from Teeth and Gums

• On occasion, a piece of food or foreign object
  can get stuck in-between teeth or gums. Typical
  food objects include popcorn hulls, meat fibers,
  and seeds. In some cases, pencil ends,
  toothpicks, and other materials can get embedded
  and become difficult to remove. Generally, these
  situations can be taken care of on your own, but
  if you find the situation worsening, causing
  pain, then we recommend arranging an appointment
  where our team has the expertise to help.

12
Cuts and Tissue Injuries

• For patients who have sustained cuts,
  lacerations, scrapes and other soft-tissue wounds
  we can assess and treat the entire mouth area
  including cheek, and lips. We will also look for
  any damage to teeth, musculature and bones. In
  the majority of cases, superficial wounds will
  heal on their own, but certain cuts may require
  stitches and / or antibiotics.
