Emergency Dental Care In Warrensburg And Oak Grove, MO

Urgent Dental Care For Current Patients

A dental emergency is never convenient, and we understand that it can be serious, scary, and quite painful. While we do respect the time of our scheduled patients, we’ll do our best to schedule an emergency dental appointment on the same day for evaluation and pain relief.

If you suffer a dental emergency such as a sports injury during regular business hours and are a current patient, please call a Ridgeview Family Dental near you at (660) 747-9117 to schedule an appointment. Our Missouri dentists Dr. Young and Dr. Kingsolver provide emergency dental care for patients in the Grain Valley, Odessa, Bates City, MO, and surrounding areas thanks to our convenient locations in Warrensburg and Oak Grove.

Signs Of A Dental Emergency

A key indicator that you may be experiencing a dental emergency is pain associated with your mouth, jaw, or neck. Additional signs that you need urgent dental care include:

  • Broken tooth
  • Broken jaw
  • Knocked-out tooth
  • Lost dental filling or dental crown
  • Toothache
  • Dental abscess
  • Gum, tongue, or cheek injuries
  • Broken or loose braces

How To Ease The Pain & Save Your Smile

In the case of a sudden dental incident, contact one of our offices promptly during business hours so we can get you in for urgent treatment. Dr. Young and our team will assess the condition of your mouth and determine the next steps to save your tooth and preserve oral health.

If we can’t get you in for an emergency visit on the same day, please follow these tips to alleviate your discomfort and preserve:

  • Recover any broken pieces of your tooth and put them in a sealed bag or container
  • Pick up the knocked-out tooth by the crown and place it in a small container of milk
  • Take over-the-counter pain medication to alleviate any pain
  • If you’re bleeding, apply pressure with a gauze or cloth to the area
  • Hold a cold compress against a swollen area
  • If you broke a tooth restoration, like a crown, save it and bring it in so we can try to reattach it

Financing Your Emergency Visit

At Ridgeview Dental Care, we always want our patients to receive the right care they need and deserve. When an accident occurs, the costs of emergency treatment might worry you, but we want to ensure that we can help your pain no matter what. This is why our dentists Dr. Young and Dr. Kingsolver offer a variety of financing options

We accept and are a participating provider for most major dental insurances to help you pay for your emergency dental care. If you don’t have insurance, we offer third-party financing through CareCredit, a low or zero interest payment plan that allows you to receive treatment right away and pay later at a monthly rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a dental emergency and it’s during our office hours, call us immediately at (660) 747-9117 or (660) 747-9118. The sooner we can get you in, the better chance we have to save your tooth or solve the issue.

If you need assistance and our office is closed, go to the nearest emergency room. They’ll be able to help mitigate any pain you may be experiencing.

A dental emergency is any accident or injury that occurs in your teeth, gums, or jaw that requires immediate care. A chipped or broken tooth lost a filling or crown, an infection, cuts in your mouth, or a broken denture or dental implant are all essential for emergency dental care.

Also, if you experience any sudden severe pain in your teeth or gums, you should give our team a call at (660) 747-9117 or (660) 747-9118. We can help provide relief for your pain and repair anything that may have broken.

If you have a broken or chipped tooth, you may or may not be experiencing pain right away, but it’s still very important to see one of our equipped dentists right away. You may have exposed the tooth to unhealthy bacteria, which can infect the area or cause decay.

If your tooth gets completely knocked out, you’ll also need to seek immediate care. Our team will work to get you in as soon as possible so we can save your natural tooth. Be sure to keep any pieces of your broken or knocked-out tooth if you can. Never place a knocked-out tooth in water, as it may damage your tooth’s roots.

If you lose a filling or crown, schedule an emergency dental visit at one of our three locations by calling (660) 747-9117 during our normal hours or at (660) 747-9118. Until we’re able to see you, be sure to hang onto your crown if you still have it so we can reattach it without having to make a new one.

To protect the open tooth, you may use sugar-free gum to cover the cavity and protect it. Cavities left untreated can develop into more complications, including tooth loss, so we’ll work to get you in as soon as we can so an infection doesn’t appear.
