If you or a loved one experiences a tooth emergency, it doesn’t have to be stressful when you have an emergency dentist in Thurmont you can trust.

We offer same-day treatment whenever possible, so you can relax knowing that your family is covered during a dental emergency.
When Should I Contact My Emergency Dentist?
Some of the dental emergencies we handle at Thurmont Family Dentistry are:
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Cracked or broken dentures
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth

We encourage our patients to contact us first during a tooth emergency because we can provide guidance as to the next best steps over the phone. Our dental office is also better equipped to handle the situation than a hospital emergency room.

How You Can Prevent Tooth Emergencies
While some accidents and trauma can’t be avoided, there are other cases where you can protect yourself against painful dental conditions like a tooth infection.
With routine teeth cleanings and checkups with your Thurmont dentist every six months, we can identify problematic areas of your smile before they become more significant concerns.
For example, tooth decay spotted early on can likely be treated with simple dental filling. If it goes undetected or untreated, it progressively gets worse. Eventually, it moves further into your tooth, reaching the root, where it causes a painful infection that will require a more complex treatment like a root canal to preserve your tooth.
Consistent preventive teeth cleanings and checkups often save you time in the dental chair, the stress of dealing with more uncomfortable treatment, and the cost of more complicated procedures.
