Emergency Dental Solutions at Evergreen Dental Wellness in Annandale VA Area

Tooth and jaw pain can be a sign of serious infection, and Emergency Room services can only offer stop-gap measures. Cracked teeth, lost fillings, and tooth pain need treatment before the problem gets worse. In order to get the care you need, you’ll need to see a dentist immediately.

Dr. Richard Fischer can provide emergency dental solutions in Annandale, VA to relieve toothaches and other serious issues. At Evergreen Dental Wellness, we offer safe, non-toxic solutions, and we avoid using harsh chemicals that can come in contact with your mouth. Our materials will bond with your body without causing irritation or inflammation.

When to seek emergency dental care

Toothaches are often related to decay or gum disease, but they can also be caused by injuries or sinus infections. Bruxism is another common culprit. If you grind your teeth at night, it can wear down your tooth enamel and leave your roots exposed.

Toothaches will rarely clear up on their own. The longer you wait for treatment, the more limited your options will be when you finally see a dentist. Contact us immediately if you have:

  • Persistent pain that lasts for more than two days
  • Pain that is keeping you up at night
  • Periodic pain in the same tooth or area
  • Fever, swollen jaw, or earache

Managing a toothache at home

If you have sensitivity or pain that flares up after eating, you can wash your mouth with warm saltwater and brush your teeth to remove any food that gets stuck in sensitive areas. If the pain clears up once any debris is removed, you may not need emergency dental treatment.

Ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory medications and ice packs can help you manage periodic toothaches, but they shouldn’t stop you from visiting the dentist. In the meantime, you should avoid foods that are too hot or too cold and skip acidic foods such as citrus and tomatoes.

Experience you can trust

Dr. Fischer has over 30 years of experience practicing mercury-safe dentistry and is a leading pioneer in the field. He is committed to using holistic, biocompatible processes for healthy, happy teeth.

During your visit, Dr. Fischer will keep you in the loop and provide a comprehensive treatment plan so you can keep up your dental care at home to stave off extensive dental treatments in the future.
