COVID-19
Over the past weeks, there has been an unprecedented amount of change going on in the world due to COVID-19. It may seem like the world is screeching to a halt, but there are some essential businesses that are still open to the public. The doors of Hudson Family Dental are still open to the community for dental emergencies. If you are experiencing an emergency, we are here to assist you and ease your pain. Not sure if your situation is an emergency? Here are some cases that warrant a visit to the office according to the American Dental Association:
• Pericoronitis or third-molar(wisdom teeth) pain.
• Surgical postoperative osteitis(pain) or dry socket dressing changes.
• Abscess or localized bacterial infection resulting in localized pain and swelling.
• Tooth fracture resulting in pain or causing soft tissue trauma.
• Dental trauma with avulsion/luxation(knocked out or loose).
• Dental treatment cementation if the temporary restoration(crown) is lost, broken or causing gum irritation.
Other situations that constitute an emergency are suture removal, denture repair/ adjustment, and replacing broken or missing temporary fillings. We are here to help you with any other questions that you may have, and as always, we are hoping that you are staying safe and healthy.
