Staying Calm During A Halloween Dental Emergency

October 20, 2020

Don’t let tooth pain or an oral injury turn your Halloween plans into a tailspin.

Dental emergencies can be stressful, but your friends at East Limestone Family Dental are here to help you as quickly as possible so you can get out of pain and get back to enjoying the fun fall season with a healthy smile.

Halloween – A Trick Or A Treat?

Yes, Halloween and other holidays are a treat in more ways than one. Parties, trick-or-treating, tailgating, and other seasonal events are fun, but they also cause us to put our guard down, relax, and be a bit less vigilant than we normally are.

A nasty fall running from house to house for candy or a piece of candy that hits a tooth in just the wrong way can result in a dental emergency, and this time of year, it happens more than you might think.

What To Remember In A Dental Emergency

The most helpful advice we can give to reduce panic and stress during a dental emergency is to save our phone number.

When frantically searching for an emergency dentist, especially after hours, isn’t something you need to worry about, you’ll have an easier time staying calm and taking the necessary steps to fix your smile. Our established patients will have access to after-hours assistance so we can arrange a visit at the earliest availability.

And you also don’t have to doubt yourself. It never hurts to call us for assistance just to make sure you don’t put off treating a dental problem that really needs immediate care, like:

  • Swollen, sore, or bleeding gums
  • An intense or throbbing toothache that OTC meds can’t relieve
  • Pain or inflammation in your mouth from an abscessed or infected tooth
  • Trouble chewing your food or loss of oral function
  • Teeth or dental restorations that are loose, damaged, or knocked out

Call Us When You Need Help!

Despite all the precautions you probably already take to keep everyone in your family safe this time of year, we all know that dental emergencies can and will happen when you least expect them.

But since you know who to call for emergency dental care in Athens, AL, and have a better idea of the teeth problems that need immediate attention, we hope you have peace of mind that a dental issue around Halloween doesn’t have to take a frightening turn.

When you have a dental emergency, call East Limestone Family Dental at 256-229-3416 to schedule an appointment in Athens, AL.

Awesome experience for me and my two children! Super clean place, incredibly friendly people, and very efficient operating procedures. Lisa and Hannah were very kind and enthusiastic when scheduling over the phone, Ms. Melinda and Ms. Mindy (I think that was her name?) were very sweet and pleasant hygienists who made my kids super comfortable. Dr. Fitts should be very proud of this whole team! Everyone in the office is wonderful. We definitely will be back!

Excellent dental provider with a hard working staff. I have been going here for a few years and am thankful for finding an excellent dentist in my area. I have never had this level of service in relation to quality of work and pain-free from other providers that I have used. My son gets excited for every visit to get his teeth cleaned which says a lot for how well this staff takes care of its patients.

I loved my experience. The staff was friendly & they followed their COVID protection protocols to a T. They were very patient & kind with my little one when he got his check up as well! The nurses & assistants did everything they could to ensure my little one was comfortable when it was mommy’s turn to get her teeth cleaned. We both left with clean smiles & a warm experience.
