What is same-day dentistry?
Same-day dentistry refers to the care your dentist provides for dental emergencies. A dental emergency requires prompt treatment to preserve your oral health and restore the function and appearance of your teeth. The experienced dentists at Missoula Dental often examine and treat patients with dental emergencies the same day.
How do I know if I need same-day dentistry?
Spotting the warning signs of a dental emergency is essential to protecting your smile. Consider contacting your dentist at Missoula Dental for same-day treatment if you experience:

Severe tooth pain
-
Loose permanent teeth
-
A knocked-out tooth
-
Fractured teeth
-
A numb tooth

Swollen jaw
-
Sore, bleeding gums
You may also need same-day dentistry if you develop a dental abscess. That painful condition typically causes a small, pus-filled sac to form near the root of the affected tooth, resulting in a small, pimple-like bump.
If an abscess ruptures, it can spread bacteria throughout your mouth. Dangerous bacteria can even infiltrate your bloodstream, so emergency care is critical.
