Knocked Out Tooth

A knocked out tooth is a common dental problem. At Woodland Family Dental, we strive to immediately take care of our patients who are experiencing this painful dental emergency.

Broken Tooth / Chipped Tooth

Teeth can be incredibly strong, but they can still chip, break or crack (fracture). Remember, treating a broken tooth or a chipped tooth at home is not an option; you need to see us as soon as possible! A cracked tooth can be a symptom of a cavity or more serious dental problem. At Woodland Family Dental we will use x-ray imaging to determine what caused your tooth to break and decide what treatment option will work best to restore your smile’s health and fuction.

Broken Dental Filling

As advanced as modern dentistry is, broken fillings can still happen. The most important thing to remember is not to delay seeing us to get treatment for a broken filling. Many teeth can start out with a small break and would only need a filling, but the longer treatment is delayed, the bigger the problem becomes.

Dental Abscess

Badly infected teeth can jeopardize the health of your entire mouth, including your healthy teeth and gums. Fortunately, we can help! If treated immediately, these infections are easy to recover from and can be prevented from causing lasting damage to your mouth. After treatment, we will likely prescribe an antibiotic to treat the dental infection and prevent complications.

Tooth Extraction

At Woodland Family Dental we always try our best to preserve your natural teeth. However, sometimes a tooth is too damaged to save and we will need to perform a tooth extraction. If you do need a tooth extracted we have options to make the experience relaxing for you and will walk you through the entire process.

Tooth Pain

Are you experiencing tooth pain? Does it hurt to chew or when air touches your tooth?

The first step to take if you are suffering with persistent toothache (for longer than a day or two) is to call Woodland Family Dental to schedule an exam.

During your appointment, our dental team will likely x-ray your tooth to help determine if a cavity, crack, abscess or other problem is causing your pain before discussing treatment options with you.

Dental Trauma

The first few moments after an oral accident are vital in determining if your recovery will go smoothly. Dental trauma due to an accident is common and can happen due to motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries or physical altercations.

If you have experienced an oral accident resulting in a tooth being knocked loose, a filling being damaged or a tooth being fractured, call us at our Post Falls office immediately to schedule an emergency dental care appointment. Urgent dental care is the first step to ensure your smile’s continued health following an oral accident.

After your emergency dentist appointment, Woodland Family Dental provides a complete spectrum of dental services available to keep your smile healthy or continue with the next step in care from your emergency.
