What Kind of Emergency Services Do You Offer? 
Principally, we offer pain relief for patients experiencing it. Most of the patients we will see for dental emergencies will be for pain. When a tooth root becomes infected, it also typically infects the nerve inside of the root, causing pain that can inhibit the patient's ability to go about their day.
We also treat damaged teeth that have been cracked or chipped and are now causing pain.
We can also replace teeth that have been knocked out.
What to Do If a Tooth Gets Knocked Out
If a tooth should get knocked out, try to put it back into the socket, if at all possible. If swelling, damage, or other issues prevent this, place the tooth in a glass of saliva or milk while you try to get a hold of a dentist.
Emergency Extractions
Not all teeth can be saved, and as a last resort, it may be necessary to extract a tooth to stop the pain and preserve oral health.
Affected teeth that have not responded well to root canals, or have other underlying issues preventing them from becoming healthy again, pose a risk to the bone, gums, and other teeth in the patient's mouth.
How to Avoid Emergency Dentistry 
No preparation and care can prepare us for every emergency, and sometimes accidents happen that cause damage to teeth. Other times, the patient's oral hygiene plays a significant role in the formation of the issue.
Following a good dental routine and avoiding acidic and sugary food can do wonders for the health of a patient's mouth over a lifetime.
Keeping up with routine check-ups with your local Troy, NY dentist will keep your teeth clean, prevent the build-up of issues, and allow your dentist to catch the problems before they become bad enough to cause emergencies.
