You’ve stocked up on candy for this year’s trick-or-treaters. You’ve got a variety of goodies to hand out to the ghosts, goblins, and ghouls you may see that night.
\nBut until then … you decide you’ve got more than enough candy. You can probably eat a few pieces without depriving any children of sweets.
\nIt won’t be long until you start gathering candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters. In the meantime, it may be tempting to eat a few treats yourself. You decided to grab a small handful of treats. At some point, you bit into a particularly hard piece of candy. That’s when you felt the pain. That was not what you were expecting.
\nThat hard candy caused your tooth to crack, which raises your risk of a tooth infection. This should be treated as a dental emergency<\/a>. You should call (239) 594-8817 to make an appointment at the closest Total Dental Solutions For Adults’ location. We have locations in North Naples and Fort Myers, FL.<\/p>\n

Stop The Pain So You Can Make Repairs<\/h3>\n

Do not wait to seek help if you need emergency dental care. We will make every effort to see you the same day that you call if at all possible. These kinds of problems can be painful, and we want to stop that pain as soon as we can.
\nIn addition to local anesthetic, we offer two sedation options<\/a> that could help you. Both block you from feeling pain and can calm your anxiety about your situation.
\nInhaled sedation (which you may know as laughing gas) can take effect in a matter of minutes. By breathing in the gas, you can ease the pain you are feeling due to your dental problem and avoid potential pain associated with your treatment.
\nOral sedation takes longer to take effect. It involves taking a dose of medication. Once it’s working, however, it offers the same benefits as inhaled sedation. This may come into play if you need to return after your emergency for a restorative procedure.<\/p>\n

Kinds Of Emergencies<\/h3>\n

In an ideal world, no one would never have a dental emergency. Preventive dentistry like regular cleanings and exams can reduce your risk of some problems. Wearing properly fitting athletic mouthguards can reduce your risk of injuries, too.
\nYet, we know that things happen. Here are some reasons you may seek emergency care from Dr. George Hoop:<\/p>\n
