Considering Dentures? Read This First

Categories: Restorative Dentistry

dentures Gibsonton

At  Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton, we get many questions about tooth replacement options since we perform extractions.  For centuries, dentures were the only way to replace missing teeth. A denture is preferable to being toothless, but dental implants provide many advantages. Before you get dentures, consider the following.

4  Things To Know About Dentures

  1. Dentures are not the only replacement choice for missing teeth. Dental implants used alone or in combination with a partial denture are often a more effective option for patients. Whereas a removable appliance replaces only the visible parts of teeth, an implant replaces both the root and crown of a tooth. Dental implants can prevent bone recession that commonly occurs following tooth extractions. Dental implants act more like real teeth, giving you greater comfort and use.
  2. There are more than one variety of denture. Most people are familiar with the removable denture that replaces a complete upper or lower arch. There are also partial dentures that are used for patients who have some remaining teeth. Partial dentures can be permanent in the mouth or detachable.
  3. Even if you have worn dentures for a while, you may be a good candidate for implant-anchored dentures. Bone grafting can augment bone in some cases. Schedule an appointment with us to find out if you are a good candidate.
  4. Regardless of your tooth replacement configuration—full dentures, partial dentures, or tooth implants—you still need to practice good oral hygiene. Removable appliances should be cleaned daily.

Your Time Dental Urgent Care is more than just an emergency dentist. We offer a number of great dental services. If your dental needs are urgent but not emergencies, that’s no reason to avoid calling us. We have late and weekend hours specifically so that you CAN call us when you need to.

Is A Loose Tooth A Dental Emergency?

Categories: Dental Emergency

emergency dental office Gibsonton

Hopefully, as an adult you’ll never experience a loose tooth. If you do discover that one of your teeth is loose, that’s a problem. Call us at Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton. It could be an urgent problem that needs our attention.

Accidents

An accident can knock a tooth loose. An injury to the mouth area is always an emergency—whether or not a tooth is loose.

Should I See A Medical Doctor First?

For some injuries to the mouth, you should see a medical doctor first. If you have a wound or cut in your mouth that’s bleeding heavily, head to the E.R. or urgent care clinic.

After the primary injury is treated, we can treat the trauma and any tooth issues. You may need a root canal, filling, and/or protective crown.

We Replace Missing Teeth

If the tooth can’t be saved, you may need an extraction. Also, we can replace a missing tooth following extraction. At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we provide emergency same day dental care, as well as tooth extractions and CEREC crowns and bridges.

We Treat Oral Infections

A localized infection can trigger or worsen a loose tooth. Either periodontitis (advanced gum disease) or tooth decay can lead to an infection. You should see us as soon as possible if you suspect an infection.

Swelling Jaw/Tooth Abscesses

If your jaw starts swelling, call us immediately. This could indicate a dangerous infection that needs treatment right away

Some infections lead to an abscess. An abscess is a pocket of pus. It can be located inside a tooth, in the gums, or in the jaw bone near the tooth root. An abscess usually causes severe pain. If you suspect an abscess, you need to see us promptly. If ignored, this can destroy the bone and eventually cause even more pain.

We Relieve Tooth Pain

All of the oral issues discussed in this post can cause tooth pain. If you come to Your Time Dental Urgent Care with severe tooth pain, we can give you medication.

Call us at Your Time Dental Urgent Care if you have any of the symptoms above. We serve Gibsonton, Riverview and Apollo Beach areas and we’re here to help. Open late as well as weekend hours.

Tooth Knocked Out? Call 813-519-0128 ASAP!

Categories: Dental Emergency

emergency dental Gibsonton

It may sound like a catastrophe to many people, but having a tooth knocked out doesn’t always mean you’ll need cosmetic dentistry to fix your smile. Keep a cool head and remember a few simple instructions, chances are you can salvage your tooth. Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton is here to help.

The important thing for Gibsonton dental patients to do if they’ve had a tooth knocked out is to find the tooth, handle it carefully, and keep it in the best condition possible so their dentist can reinsert it properly.

Do not handle the tooth by the root, be careful to only touch the crown. It’s okay to gently rinse the tooth in water, but don’t scrub it or remove any tissue fragments from the tooth.

If it is possible, try and place your tooth back in the socket (placed there gently, of course). You can also try holding the tooth between the lip and gum or under the tongue as well, just be careful not to swallow. If neither of these is an option, place the tooth in a cup of milk.

Next, you’ll want to get to Your Time Dental Urgent Care promptly. If you can get to a dentist within an hour, you have the best chance of saving the tooth.

Call us at 813-519-0128 immediately if you have a dental emergency!

Your Time Dental Urgent Care is more than just an emergency dentist. We offer a number of great dental services. If your dental needs are urgent but not emergencies, that’s no reason to avoid calling us. We have late and weekend hours specifically so that you CAN call us when you need to.

Your Dental E.R.

Categories: Dental Emergency

It’s good to know that the hospital emergency department is open on evenings and weekends. If you have a medical emergency, there’s a team at the E.R. ready to help.

It’s also reassuring to know that Your Time Dental Urgent Care is here for you. If you have an urgent dental problem in the evening or on the weekend, the team at Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton will take care of you.

What kind of treatment does an urgent care dental practice provide?

Take a look at our service pages to learn more about what Your Time Dental can do for you.

What Mouth Injuries Require a Medical Hospital E.R.?

For some injuries to the mouth, you should see a medical doctor first. When the primary injury is treated, you may need to see your dentist for tooth restoration.

Visit the E.R. for the following:

  • swelling in the mouth or throat that is obstructing breathing
  • extreme jaw pain when there is a possibility of jaw fracture
  • lacerations in the mouth that are causing severe bleeding

If you go to the E.R. for severe tooth pain, a medical doctor can give you pain medication and/or antibiotics if needed.  In the E.R., an MD can’t perform a root canal or place a dental crown. There is some overlap when it comes to the training medical doctors and dentists receive. Either specialist could sew up a laceration in the mouth. But, in general, medical doctors don’t learn dentistry.

Even if you get pain drugs or antibiotics, you will still need to see a dentist to fix the problem with the tooth. You’re just delaying treatment that you will need from a dentist.

If you come to Your Time Dental Urgent Care with extreme tooth pain, you can also get pain meds and antibiotics if needed. Your dentist will also treat the source of the pain or infection, which should resolve your issues. Call us for your dental emergencies.

Avoid Sports Injuries: Protect Those Teeth!

Categories: Dental Emergency

sports dentistry Gibsonton

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we want to raise awareness of the importance of athletic mouth protection. Patients should think of custom mouthguards as a critical part of their protective gear.

Did you know- over 5 million teeth are knocked out per year? Many of these dental traumas happen on the playing field or court. Each dislodged tooth involves several trips to the dentist and hundreds of dollars in restoration amounts. Not to mention pain!

Most parents require their children and teens to wear helmets when biking and shinguards while playing soccer. Parent should also emphasize the importance of mouth protection from your child’s very first 5-year-old T-ball game. And we all need to practice what we preach.

There are three main types of mouthguards:

  • ready-to-wear.  The stock mouth protectors are pre-formed and ready to wear. Unfortunately, they rarely fit well.
  • boil and bite. They are to be softened in water and then formed to the mouth (follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
  • custom-fitted.

You can find boil and bite mouth protectors at Gibsonton sporting goods stores. They are to be softened in water and then formed to the mouth (follow the manufacturer’s directions).

Some Gibsonton dentists offer custom sports mouthguards that provide the highest level of protection and comfort. Mouth protectors that are comfortable are more likely to be worn by kids who complain about wearing a mouthguard. Ask your dentist about custom mouthguards.

Mouth protection is extremely important for Gibsonton patients with braces or fixed bridge work. Some Gibsonton orthodontists recommend mouth protectors for lower teeth as well.

For more information about mouth protection, call us today.

Call us at 813-519-0903 immediately if you have a dental emergency!

Your Time Dental Urgent Care is more than just an emergency dentist. We offer a number of great dental services. If your dental needs are urgent but not emergencies, that’s no reason to avoid calling us. We have late and weekend hours specifically so that you CAN call us when you need to.

We Take The Trauma Out Of Dental Trauma

Categories: Dental Emergency, Restorative Dentistry

sedation dentistry Gibsonton

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we encounter many nervous dental patients. ‘Nervous’ is an understatement in some cases—especially patients who are having a dental emergency.

Patients who come in with a tooth injury are already experiencing pain. If they have dental anxiety or dental phobia in addition to the injury, the experience can be downright terrifying.

We Understand Dental Anxiety

We understand. As an emergency dental clinic, our practice specializes in putting patients at ease. We use different types of dental sedation to help nervous patients with a dental emergency.

We practice gentle, pain-free dentistry. Dental treatment will not begin until you are numb.

We,= Will Ease Your Pain Quickly, Then Proceed At Your Pace

Speak up immediately if you have a problem. We will pause treatment, administer an additional analgesic and wait until it takes effect.

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we never rush your dental visit.

We provide many in-office amenities at Your Time Dental Urgent Care which help our dental patients concentrate on something pleasant during dental treatment.

Not every dental patient chooses sedation dentistry. Sometimes chemical-free diversions such as listening to your favorite music provide a distraction while allowing you to remain clear-headed.

Don’t let dental anxiety keep you from getting professional care for your dental emergency. At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we understand dental anxiety and will help you through your process.

We treat dental trauma without leaving you traumatized.

Of course, the best way to avert tooth pain is to visit your dentist frequently, and to care properly for your teeth including a daily regimen of brushing and flossing.
