A bellyache can be miserable, and a headache can send you crawling into bed with a pillow over your face. But there is nothing like a toothache to show you the meaning of raw, excruciating pain. Schaible Dental Group, the premier emergency dental care practice in St. Peters, MO, is there when you need fast relief. They also specialize in cosmetic treatments, such as bridges and crowns, teeth whitening, and dental implants.

3 Reasons You Might Need Emergency Dental Care

1. Fractured Tooth

A fractured tooth can occur during mealtime or due to a sports accident, a slip and fall injury, or some other mishap. If it results in broken blood vessels or an exposed or damaged nerve, the pain can be excruciating. Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress, and take a pain reliever. Then call Dr. Shaible's office to schedule emergency dental care.

2. Missing Tooth

If you've had a tooth knocked out, first do your best to retrieve it. If you can locate it, rinse it off but avoid handling it after that. Store it in a bit of your saliva or some milk to preserve it, and call Schaible Dental Group for emergency dental care.

3. Toothache

A toothache usually results from an abscess — a swollen area filled with pus — or a deep cavity that has exposed a raw nerve. Either of these can be extremely painful. Contact Dr. Schaible's office and request emergency dental care. They will do everything they can to fit you into their schedule as soon as possible so you can receive swift pain relief.
