At Fioritto Family Dental, we understand that dental emergencies can be sudden, painful, and stressful. That’s why we offer same-day emergency appointments at both our Mentor and Concord offices. Immediate care can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth, stopping infection, and relieving severe discomfort. Our team is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, sedation options, and a board-certified implant specialist, so you can trust that your urgent dental needs are handled with precision and expertise, all by the same Lake County team you know and trust.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving trauma, severe pain, or active infection that requires immediate attention. Common examples include:
- Knocked-Out Tooth. Quick action is essential to save a tooth that has been completely dislodged. Rinse the tooth gently, keep it moist, and contact us immediately.
- Severe Toothache. Intense, persistent pain can indicate infection or nerve damage. Immediate evaluation helps prevent further complications and provides rapid relief.
- Fractured or Chipped Tooth. A crack or break that exposes the tooth nerve can be extremely painful and increases the risk of infection. Prompt treatment can often save the tooth.
- Dental Abscess or Infection. Swelling, pus, or a painful lump in the gums or jaw signals infection, which can spread if left untreated. Early intervention prevents serious health risks.
- Lost or Damaged Dental Restoration. A dislodged dental crown, bridge, or dental filling can expose underlying teeth and cause sensitivity or pain. Same-day care helps protect the affected tooth and restore function.
- Oral Injury or Trauma. Injuries to the jaw, lips, or soft tissues, whether from sports, falls, or accidents, require fast evaluation to prevent long-term damage.
How We Handle Dental Emergencies
When you call with a dental emergency, our team will listen carefully, provide instructions to protect the tooth or affected area, and schedule you as quickly as possible. For severe cases, such as knocked-out teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, or abscesses, we prioritize immediate, same-day care. Using our advanced digital imaging and treatment tools, we can diagnose the problem, relieve pain, and plan a comprehensive solution, including sedation options if needed for comfort.
Even urgent but less severe dental emergencies, such as a lost filling, minor chip, or sensitivity, are addressed with expedited appointments.
