Dental Emergencies in Denver and Lone Tree Colorado

Avoiding dental emergencies we should think would be the goal of most dental patients. Recently a patient of another dentist contacted our Lone Tree dental office over the weekend with a tooth that had become infected. Their chief complaint was pain and… difficulty in swallowing.  Any dental infection can progress and when it progresses to the point where there is difficulty in swallowing it ends up out the the treatment of general dentists and becomes something an endodontist or oral surgeon should handle. Dr. James deLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp see patients in the Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Ken Caryl, Greenwood Village and Centennital Colorado

Significant swelling my involve going to the emergency room

Significant tooth swelling may need to be treated in the emergency room. While rare in the United States dental  infection have the potiental to cause significant medical problems and should be addressed at their earliest presentations. Regular dental examination can significantly reduce (not eliminate) unexpected dental infections.  Seeing your Lone Tree and Denver dentist on a regular basis is best medicine.

Dental emergencies rarely occur at convienient times

It seems like dental emergencies never occur at good times.  They occur late at night or on the weekends or holidays. Delaying dental treatment increases your risks of and unintended dental emergencies.
