Amazing Family Dental Discusses Urgent Care Dentistry vs. General Dentistry

At Amazing Family Dental, we provide both urgent care dentistry and general dentistry services to those living in the Indianapolis area.  With years of experience, our staff is trained on how to assess the urgency of a situation to determine if and when you should come in for dental care. If you find yourself in need of a dentist, call (317) 781-3900 to speak with a staff member and discuss how you are feeling and whether or not you need a walk-in appointment.  During that call, we will ask you several questions including:

Are you bleeding?
What is your pain level?
Is your tooth damaged?
Did any of your teeth get knocked out?
Can you bite down like normal?
Your answers will help us to determine if urgent care dentistry vs. general dentistry is needed to solve your current health concerns.  If, for example, you are bleeding due to a mouth trauma, we will typically recommend rinsing your mouth with warm water to see if it stops and if so, you may have a slight abrasion.  If, however, it continues to bleed, you should come to our office to have your mouth examined right away so that we can identify the source and provide you with urgent care.

Simultaneously, if you live in the 46203 are and have your tooth knocked out while playing sports or in an accident, we can help.  In this situation, if you are evaluating urgent care dentistry vs. general dentistry, we always recommend seeking immediate and urgent treatment because, if you can locate the tooth and place it in a cup of milk, there is a chance that it can be reattached.

There are other, more minor situations, that when comparing urgent care dentistry vs. general dentistry, may be best served by a standard dental appointment.  For example, if you have a minor irritation in a tooth, you probably have a small cavity that should be treated, but not necessary that day.  As long as the irritation is minor, you should be able to schedule a normal appointment without causing any further damage or discomfort.

At Amazing Family Dental, we provide solutions to all of your dental care needs so regardless of why or how your tooth is feeling sore or uncomfortable, call (317) 781-3900 to schedule an appointment with our Indianapolis dental office.  This way, we can help you to feel better and regain your good health.
