When you call, be prepared to describe:
A routine dental exam at Gordon Dental in Kansas City covers four key areas. Each is part of a standard appointment and helps catch concerns before they become larger problems.
A toothache relief visit at Gordon Dental starts with identifying the source of the pain. If intense or lingering tooth discomfort persists despite over-the-counter pain relievers, disrupts your sleep, or prevents you from chewing properly, seek an evaluation the same day. Dr. Gordon takes X-rays to diagnose the cause and discuss your options, which may include root canal therapy or other treatment.
Broken tooth repair at Gordon Dental addresses teeth that have cracked, fractured, or chipped from injury, biting down on something hard, or decay that weakens the structure. Depending on the severity, Dr. Gordon may restore the tooth with a crown, bonding, or tooth extraction if the tooth cannot be saved. Bring any large fragments to your appointment.
A knocked-out tooth requires immediate action. Hold the tooth by its crown, not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing and try to put it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saline.
Call Gordon Dental immediately. Your chances of saving the tooth drop significantly after the first hour.
A tooth that has lost its crown or filling is exposed and vulnerable. Avoid chewing on that side and call the office. Dental cement from a pharmacy can provide temporary protection until your appointment.
A broken implant or denture that causes pain or affects your ability to eat should be evaluated promptly. See the section below for more detail.
Before you get to the office, these general steps can help protect the tooth and manage discomfort:
Do not attempt to drain an abscess, reattach a crown with super glue, or push a loose implant back into position.
Some situations require an emergency room rather than a dental office. Go to the ER or call 911 if you experience:
These signs indicate a spreading infection or structural injury beyond what a dental office can safely manage as a primary response. Once stabilized, follow up with Dr. Gordon for dental treatment.
If an implant crown has come loose, an implant post feels unstable, or a bridge or denture has cracked, call the office to describe the situation and get guidance on whether to come in the same day.
If you have a failing or broken implant from this or another practice, see our page on broken or failing dental implants for more information on what causes implants to fail and what treatment options are available.
