Toothache? Broken Braces? Knocked-Out Tooth?

Posted on

Toothache Treatment Detroit

Let’s talk about three dental issues that may require immediate treatment.

Toothache

Most of us experience a toothache at some point in our lives. Even one day with oral pain can seem like an eternity.

A toothache could be a symptom of an abscess. If an abscess progresses, it can destroy the root of the tooth. It can even destroy the surrounding bone.

Possible causes of a toothache are tooth decay, an injury to the tooth, a broken crown, an infection, and TMD (temporomandibular disorder).

Let Dr. Gustafson take care of you. You will quickly be back to pain-free eating, speaking, and sleeping. What a relief!

Call Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry if you have a toothache.

Broken Braces

What if one of the wires on your braces comes loose? It can damage your teeth or gums. If this happens and you cut the inside of your mouth, rinse with a solution of salt and water.

Call Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry if a wire on your braces breaks. We have extended hours for when an oral problem can’t wait.

Knocked-Out Tooth

We hope this never happens to you. But we are here in the unfortunate event that it does. And it’s not the end of the world.

If a tooth is knocked out, it may be successfully re-implanted if done swiftly. Make sure you hold the tooth only by the crown. Never touch the root!

If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with water. Be cautious not to brush off any tissue attached. It is best to reinsert the tooth into the socket. (This may not be possible with younger children.)

These are just a few of the urgent-care issues we treat at Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry. But we are also a full-service dental office.

We perform:

  • Root canals
  • Tooth extractions
  • Cosmetic dentistry
  • CEREC same-day crowns
  • Same-day teeth whitening

Save our number in your contacts on your phone. If you have a dental emergency, you can call without delay.

Relieving Your Dental Anxiety At Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry

Relieving Your Dental Anxiety At Gustafson Morningstar DentistryHello Detroit dental blog visitors, welcome to the Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry blog. I am Dr. Steven Gustafson of Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry in Royal Oak.

A close friend of mine told me about her upcoming root canal and her fear of the procedure. She was stressed about the perceived pain she might have and also about getting work off for the multiple dental visits to finish up. I assured her that painful root canal procedures are a thing of the past with modern dentistry.

With the latest technology and anesthetics, a root canal (endodontic treatment) is no more painful than receiving a filling. Most root canals can be completed in one or two office visits.

If you have been neglecting your teeth because of fears or concerns about a particular procedure and have not been to your Royal Oak dentist recently, I encourage you to schedule an exam, cleaning, and consultation today.

We are accepting new patients at Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry and would love to serve you. At Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry, we offer cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, and general dentistry.

Royal Oak Porcelain Veneers and Instant Orthodontics

what are dental implants

A mouth full of dingy or crooked teeth can really distract from anyone’s appearance. With cosmetic dentistry from Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry in Royal Oak, you’ll get a red-carpet-worthy smile.

Cosmetic dentistry can restore the luster to your smile, that may have faded from years of wear and tear. All it takes are procedures like dental veneers, teeth whitening, or straightening.

What are dental veneers? Veneers are paper-thin shells of durable material (ceramic, porcelain, or composite resin) bonded to the teeth to provide strength and add beauty to any smile.

What are dental implants? A wonderful long-term solution for missing teeth, dental implants are artificial roots surgically implanted in the jaw to anchor a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

What is teeth whitening? Professional teeth whitening products can restore the glow to your smile. It far surpasses anything that comes out of a toothpaste tube.

The best way to find out if veneers or dental implants are a possibility is to meet with Steven Gustafson DDS at Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry for a smile makeover consultation.

At Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry in Royal Oak, cosmetic dentistry can create a smile you will be proud to flash.

Cosmetic Dentistry Gives Detroit Residents Perfect SmilesCosmetic dentistry has taken major steps forward in recent years. You may be surprised to find out what Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry in Royal Oak can do for your smile!

Teeth whitening is increasingly popular and there are several options available, including whitening toothpastes. But no toothpaste can whiten the way professional treatments can. We provide a take-home teeth whitening system that we monitor closely every step of the way. Brighter teeth can be the centerpiece of your new, youthful look.

Veneers are customized to cover the front of the teeth and are custom-made for each individual patient. Porcelain veneers are useful for men and women who have chipped teeth, stained teeth, or gaps between teeth that they would like to repair.

Clear braces are a popular choice for those who want to straighten their teeth. We offer Invisalign clear braces. These braces are effective, but so inconspicuous that people standing just a few feet away may not realize you’re wearing them.

So, why wait? Now is the time to get the desirable smile you’ve always wanted, and we are here to help. The friendly staff here at Gustafson Morningstar Dentistry in Royal Oak would love to answer any questions you have about cosmetic dentistry procedures or general oral health.
