A trip to see our emergency dentist in Philadelphia, PA, usually requires some after-care. Our dentists will work hard to restore your oral health while you are in our office, but due to the complexity of the human mouth, you’ll likely need to do some follow-up visits or at-home care to ensure that the health of your teeth, gums, tongue and entire mouth are fully restored. So after your visit to our emergency dentist, what can you expect?
Every patient that leaves our office will know what the “next steps” are for their oral care. Our emergency dentists will explain to you the kind of care you’ll need to do, either in our office or at home, and how to do it properly. That may include oral rinses to inhibit the growth of bacteria and infection, a follow-up visit to our dentists in a few days or weeks, or simply using ice packs and sticking to a liquid diet for a few days. We’ll show you how to do anything you need to do at home, or help you make appointments for follow-up visits. Don’t hesitate to ask our emergency dentists questions about your aftercare; we want to make sure you feel empowered about your oral care and completely understand everything that needs to happen.
Even after you leave our office, you are always welcome to call us with questions. If your symptoms reappear or you start to have new issues, get in touch with our office right away. Our care doesn’t end when you walk out the door; we will continue to answer your question and ensure you are getting the dental care you need. Call us at 267-421-5379 with your questions or concerns or even to make a new appointment with our emergency dental team.
