Appleton Emergency Dentist

Whether it's excruciating dental pain keeping you awake at night or a broken tooth impacting your smile, you need prompt attention and quick relief when you or a loved one is experiencing a dental emergency.

Dr. Hareid leaves time in her daily schedule to accommodate emergency patients and instructions on reaching us if your tooth emergency occurs after our regular business hours, as they often do.

We prioritize emergency patients and provide same-day treatment whenever possible to help you feel better and return to your normal daily activities.

If you're struggling with any of these issues, we encourage you to seek emergency care right away:

• A severe and constant toothache
• Facial swelling or pain
• Bleeding or swollen gums
• Broken or lost restorations, like a crown or filling
• A knocked-out or dislodged tooth
• A fractured or broken tooth

The reason it's vital to seek emergency dental care immediately is to avoid further pain, damage, or impact on other critical areas of your body. An infection that starts in your tooth can easily travel to your brain, so don't wait for your tooth pain to dissipate on its own.

Even if you're unsure your situation is a true dental emergency, contact our team first at (920) 731-7717 for guidance.

Dr. Hareid is well-equipped to help with tooth emergencies. Depending on your needs, some of the treatments she may suggest to restore your smile and dental health are:

• Tooth-colored fillings—To restore small areas of tooth decay
• Dental bonding—Uses composite resin to repair small tooth chips or fractures
• Porcelain crowns—Covers and restores a severely decayed, fractured, or damaged tooth
• Root canal treatment—Alleviates a tooth infection, preserving the natural tooth structure and preventing a tooth extraction
• Tooth extraction—A last resort, removing an unsalvageable tooth

We attempt to provide same-day treatment if possible, alleviate immediate pain, and do everything possible to get you back on the path to wellness quickly.

While accidents do happen, many dental emergencies can be avoided.

With routine teeth cleanings and dental checkups every six months, we can stay on top of any potential issues before they become more problematic. Detecting and treating tooth decay early on prevents it from moving further into your tooth and causing more damage or an infection.

You can also do your part to protect your teeth by wearing the proper protective gear if you play sports and never using your teeth for activities other than chewing food, such as opening things.

If you encounter an emergency, don't hesitate to contact our team at (920) 731-7717.
