Tooth damage can result from a variety of situations, like playing a sport without a mouthguard, biting down wrong on an apple, grinding your teeth, opening packaging with your teeth, or chewing on ice. Unfortunately, sometimes dental accidents happen even when you take the proper precautions and maintain good oral hygiene and oral health habits. It’s crucial to seek prompt emergency dental care to prevent further pain, infection, tooth loss, and reduced oral function.
At Coho Dental, Dr. Cody Holt and Dr. Kyra Holt provide comprehensive dental care in Anchorage, AK. We offer routine oral healthcare, plus emergency dental appointments for many issues, such as:
During your same-day emergency appointment, we will diagnose and treat your dental issue to reduce pain and prevent additional complications. We also invite you to call us as soon as you experience a dental injury so we can walk you through steps to relieve pain until your appointment. Sometimes this may look like taking over-the-counter pain relievers, icing the side of your cheek with a cold compress, rinsing with a mixture of salt and water, or preserving a tooth in milk that may have been knocked out.
