2012-02-29

PHOENIX, AZ, February 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) When you are facing an emergency dental situation, you require prompt, effective emergency dental care. Dental emergencies that may require immediate attention include:

- A tooth knocked out by trauma
- A chipped, cracked, or fractured tooth
- A tooth that is misaligned or loose
- Quick onset of facial pain
- Sudden onset of clicking, popping, locking, or pain in the jaw
- The presence of infection or swelling
- An extremely sensitive tooth

Emergency dental situations can quickly deteriorate and result in additional problems and even hospitalization. Calling a dentist at the first sign of a problem is your best option for avoiding larger problems down the road.

Choosing an Emergency Dentist
When you look in the phonebook or online, your choices for emergency dental care may at first be overwhelming. Knowing what to look for ahead of time can help make the decision easier and ensure that you get the service you require and deserve.

Look at your potential dentist's website. On this site look first to make sure they offer 24/7 emergency dental care. If they do, look at the options they offer for treatment. One of the biggest things to look for is whether or not they offer CEREC restorations. If your dentist offers this chair-side option it means he is on top of current technology that can make your dental visit more comfortable and effective. With this modern technology, you can reduce the number of visits you'll be required to make and know that your smile can be restored in just one visit. This saves you both time and money. Other technology such as lasars and digital imaging are signs of an advanced practice.

In addition to the technology offered, look at the qualifications of the dentist. It is preferable to find a dentist who has several years of experience helping people in emergency situations. It is also preferable to find a dentist who has received post graduate training at the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI.) LVI Trained dentists have undergone years of additional training and will be better equipped to diagnose and treat a wide number of dental issues.

The doctors at Drs of Smiles, Dr LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro, have the training and use state of the art technology to provide their patient the optimum care for emergencies and regular dental care.

When you require emergency dental care, it is best not to wait too long before you make an appointment. Like any emergency situation, prompt care can make all the difference in the world. Taking just a few moments to find the best emergency dental care in your area can help ensure you are provided with quick and effective services and are able to avoid the problems putting care off can cause.

If you live in or around Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, or Scottsdale, Arizona and require emergency dental care, please visit the website of Scott Lesueur, D.D.S. & Charles Dodaro, D.D.S. for more information on our 24/7 services at http://www.drsofsmiles.com.
