Dental Emergencies in Adults Over 40

As we get older, our teeth and gums can become more susceptible to certain issues, which can lead to emergency situations. Understanding the most common dental emergencies for adults 40+ can help you know when to seek immediate care.

  • Toothaches, Abscesses, and Other Issues

    Tooth pain is one of the most common reasons adults seek emergency dental care. It can result from untreated decay, damaged fillings, or even gum disease. Infections can develop more easily if the tooth structure has been compromised, leading to serious health concerns if left untreated.


    At A+ Family Dentistry, we use advanced diagnostic tools like digital X-rays to quickly identify the source of your pain and determine the best course of treatment. Whether you need a filling, root canal, or, in more severe cases, an extraction, we’ll work to relieve your pain and restore your dental health.


  • Broken or Dislodged Teeth

    Accidents or injuries can cause teeth to break or be knocked out, requiring immediate attention. Even minor falls or bumps can lead to significant dental damage, especially if the teeth are already weakened by wear or prior dental work.


    If you experience a broken or dislodged tooth, seeking emergency care right away is critical. Quick action can mean the difference between saving the tooth or losing it. A+ Family Dentistry offers same-day appointments to handle these urgent situations, using treatments like dental bonding or crowns to restore your smile.


  • Damaged Dental Restorations

    As dental restorations like crowns, implants, or dentures age, they can become loose or damaged. This not only causes discomfort but can also make it difficult to eat or speak normally.


    Our team can quickly repair or replace damaged restorations to ensure your comfort and prevent further complications. Scheduling an appointment at the first sign of a problem is key to avoiding more significant issues. Our quick turnaround time on repairs means you’ll get back to normal in no time.


Managing Dental Pain Before Your Appointment

While it's essential to seek professional care as soon as possible during a dental emergency, there are steps you can take to manage your pain until your appointment.

  • Over-the-Counter Pain Relief

    Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are effective over-the-counter medications for reducing inflammation and pain caused by toothaches, infections, or injuries. Be sure to follow the recommended dosage and consult with your doctor if you are taking other medications or have any underlying health conditions.


  • Cold Compress

    If your dental emergency involves an injury, applying a cold compress to the affected area can help reduce swelling and alleviate pain. Hold the compress against the side of your face for 15-20 minutes at a time, taking breaks in between sessions. This can be particularly helpful if you’ve experienced trauma to the mouth or jaw.


  • Temporary Fixes for Damaged Restorations

    If you have a loose or damaged crown, bridge, or denture, over-the-counter dental repair kits can provide temporary relief until you can see a dentist. These kits contain dental cement or adhesives to help secure your dental appliance temporarily. However, it’s important to visit a dentist as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

"I was in need for a dentist and I am glad I found Dr.Janice Doan! I came in for an emergency service, she was very thorough with the procedures and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole session. Definitely will be my primary dentist!"

"I love Dr. Janice and the A+ team! My teeth are in the best shape they’ve ever been, and I used to have a phobia of the dentist. I love the focus on preventative dental care because why wait when a problem occurs (which would likely cost more) when you can work together to maintain your health? I also appreciate the hygienist gentle, but effective cleaning every time. They take very good care of mine and my husband’s teeth, and we drive over an hour to have them care for our dental needs because they’re worth it!"

If you’re looking for a great dentist, Dr. Janice is your girl! Thank you Dr Janice again, she’s truly amazing!"

Emergency Dental Treatments for Adults 40+

A+ Family Dentistry offers a wide range of emergency dental care services designed to address the needs of adults 40 and older. Whether you are dealing with pain, damage to a tooth, or issues with dental appliances, our experienced team is here to help.

  • Tooth Extractions

    If a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved, an extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection and protect your overall health. At A+ Family Dentistry, we perform extractions with care and offer sedation options to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

  • Root Canal Therapy

    Root canal therapy is a common emergency treatment for severely decayed or infected teeth. This procedure removes infected tissue from the tooth, cleans the area, and seals it to prevent further infection. Root canal therapy is often the best way to relieve pain and save a tooth.

  • Same-Day Crowns

    For adults with a broken or damaged crown, A+ Family Dentistry offers same-day crowns using advanced CEREC technology. This allows us to create and place custom-made crowns in a single appointment, restoring your smile without the need for multiple visits.

dental implants

A perfect solution for patients who are missing a tooth or several teeth or simply want to enhance their smile. Learn all about the different types of dental implants we offer at A+ Family Dentistry.

smile makeover

Full-mouth implants are a solution to replace all missing teeth, whether in the upper or lower teeth. They offer patients a fully functional and natural-looking set of teeth. This innovative approach allows patients to smile, eat and speak with confidence. It is a long-term, superior alternative to partial or traditional dentures. Full-mouth dental implants are designed for durability and permanence. They provide both aesthetic and functional benefits and improve quality of life.

porcelain crowns

Crowns are custom-made tooth-shaped restorations that cover damaged teeth or can be used to cover dental implants. The crown is used to repair weakened, deteriorated, or missing teeth. It provides both structural support as well as an improved appearance. Crowns are used to enhance the function of the tooth and preserve its natural appearance.

all-on-4 implants

All-on-4 dental implants or mini dental implants can be the best choice for full upper or lower smiles. All-on-4 implants can normally be utilized without the need for bone grafting, and can be the preferred alternative to dentures. Using just four strategically-placed implants to support an entire arch of teeth, all-on-4 are a popular dental implant solution.

invisalign® clear aligners

Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, plastic aligners to straighten your smile. There are no unsightly and uncomfortable “brackets” like the ones used in traditional braces.

gum disease treatment

Inflammation and infection of gums and their surrounding structures is known as periodontal disease. For the diagnosis and management of this condition, routine dental examinations are crucial. Scaling and root planning can be used to treat existing problems, while oral hygiene advice helps to prevent disease progression. Professional care and regular maintenance are essential for optimal gum health.

root canal therapy

When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal procedure may be necessary to save the tooth from extraction. At A+ Family Dentistry, our experienced team performs root canal treatments using advanced techniques and modern equipment, removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection, allowing you to preserve your natural tooth.
