    Emergency Dentist vs. Emergency Room Houston, TX

    Emergency Dentist vs. Emergency Room

    Regardless of the type of dental emergency, there are a few set steps a patient needs to take as a response. The first step is to seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room. If the individual has any large cuts, broken bones or other injuries, then get to the emergency room as soon as possible. An emergency room will be able to treat all wounds and stop any bleeding.

    If the individual damages a tooth in the accident, an emergency room will be able to stop the bleeding, but will not be able to repair or even possibly save the tooth itself. Thus, once the individual is able to return home and leave the emergency room, the parent needs to call an emergency dentist. As a dentist, not only can we repair, replace or save a damaged tooth, but we can also provide specialized emergency care for the patient. Several treatments that we offer our patients include:

    • Dental Sealants
    • Dental Bonding
    • Kids Dental Crowns
    • Dental Restorations
    • Cavity Treatments

    Check out what others are saying about our emergency dental services on Yelp: Emergency Dental Services Houston.

    The individual may already be shaken up from the accident and may have difficulty remaining calm. Visiting a general dentist for emergency dental care may not be the type of care that the patient needs or may require the patient to wait too long. General dentists are not always the best choice since they are not available outside of business hours. Emergency dentists can offer emergency treatment when the individual needs. Our team has the necessary skills to provide the best and most effective form of emergency treatment for the individual while also keeping the patient comfortable during the procedure. Sedation dentistry is an option that we will consider when the individual arrives at our office.

    After the accident occurs, call our office and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. If we are available, we will treat the individual immediately. If we are not available at that moment, we will treat the individual as soon as possible. It is crucial to receive treatment for a damaged or missing tooth as soon as possible. The longer an individual waits to seek treatment, the greater chance that the individual will not be able to repair the damage. Fortunately, we can treat the issue and ensure that regardless of the treatment decision the individual makes, that the individual’s teeth are on the right track for continuing strong oral health.

    If you live in Houston, Texas call (713) 481-4626 and schedule your appointment to experience why patients trust Bruce Matson, DDS with their child’s dental needs.

    Definition of Restorative Terminology

    Dental Restoration
    A dental restoration can restore a tooth to heal any damage and bring back functionality in the tooth. Dental restorations can also replace any missing tooth structure and prevent the need for an extraction in the future.
    Dental Sealants
    Dental sealants protect the child’s teeth from infection with a harmless solution that covers the crown of the tooth. The solution hardens minutes after we place it and is a long-term treatment to prevent tooth decay.
    Dentist
    A dentist, also known as a dental surgeon, is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity.
    Pediatric Dentist
