Doctor A. Vandiveer Strait on dental emergencies
When someone comes into our office with a dental emergency or calls our office with a dental emergency, we really understand that that's something that they need to have taken care of right away.
So first of all, usually we'll figure out a way to get them in within very few minutes, or depending on the situation of course, that's certainly that same day. And even sometimes, we'll start something earlier than that. We'll actually call in something, even an analgesic immediately, just to get something going so they're comfortable in the time it gets them to get there or something.
But once they're here, our number one goal is to get them comfortable, and usually we can do that within a very short time. Sometimes, even before we would diagnose, if we had somebody with a lot of discomfort, we might make them comfortable through local anesthetic or something to make sure that they're now fine, and then we can address it where they can think and talk and not be subject to all the discomfort they're currently dealing with.
But whatever that emergency is, whether it's something that is painful or whether it's just a broken tooth, our goal is to get that person functional and comfortable in a very short order.
Our schedule is such, and our office, that we're never jammed, we don't feel that that's good dentistry. So we'll find a way to get them in, and it might be at lunchtime for me, and I have no problem with that. It might be after work, and I have no problem with that either. I just want to make sure that that person gets taken care of, and we always do that for everyone.

Take Care Of Common Dental Emergencies At Home
Dental pain usually doesn’t go away by itself. That’s why it’s important to call us at the first sign of trouble. With Dr. D’Andrea’s and Dr. Strait’s decades of experience handling emergencies, our comprehensive solutions, and our modern technology, you can be sure we have the answer to your dental dilemma.
Before your appointment with us, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances for a quick recovery:
- Broken Tooth – A broken tooth can lead to infection, soft tissue damage inside your mouth, and even a lost tooth. Find any pieces and bring them with you to your appointment. Place sugarless gum or wax from a drugstore over any rough edges. Avoid eating on the tooth, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen, to ease discomfort.
- Knocked-Out Tooth – Time is crucial when it comes to a knocked-out tooth. Find the tooth if you can, rinse it without touching the roots, and try to reinsert it in place. If you can’t, put it in a container of milk or saliva, and bring it to us. If we see you in time, we may be able to reinsert it.
- Toothache – A toothache is one of the most common emergencies we treat. It often indicates a cavity or tooth infection and usually requires treatment with a filling, dental crown, or root canal. Many patients find relief with acetaminophen. Using a warm compress and rinsing your mouth with warm water can provide temporary relief too.
