Emergency dentistry appointments in Calgary
In a dental emergency, the focus is always on diagnosis and pain relief. This means that a dental emergency appointment might not work the same as a routine dental exam.
You may need to book a follow-up appointment for treatment, but Dr. Meyer will do everything to ensure your pain is under control and you are not at risk of further damage. What could this look like?
Every emergency appointment is different. The treatment that is provided will depend on when you can see Dr. Meyer, the type of dental emergency and the time available for treatment.
- If you have broken a tooth, Dr. Meyer may file away any sharp edges, prescribe pain medication and book a follow-up appointment for a complete restoration.
- If you have pain from a dental abscess during the week, Dr. Meyer may take X-rays to assess the problem, prescribe antibiotics and pain medication, and schedule a root-canal for another day.
If you experience a toothache on the weekend, Dr. Meyer may send a prescription for antibiotics and pain medication to your pharmacists and schedule a consultation for Monday morning.
