Prompt Emergency Treatment

The average Springfield, MO resident mistakenly assumes the hospital emergency room is the best place to go in the event of a dental emergency. The truth is hospital emergency rooms don’t have the personnel or dental instruments necessary to perform emergency dental work. So don’t make a beeline to the nearest hospital if you have a toothache, a chipped tooth, a cracked tooth or another oral health problem that requires immediate attention. Instead, reach out to our experienced Springfield, MO emergency dentists by calling (417) 865-5017. We prioritize dental emergencies to alleviate patient pain as quickly as possible.

Do your best to remain calm and think clearly during this emergency. Your dental emergency is time-sensitive, meaning the quicker you receive treatment, the sooner your pain will dissipate and the greater the chances are of preserving the tooth. Examples of common dental emergencies that necessitate prompt treatment include losing a tooth, severe tooth pain, signs of infection, a chipped/broken tooth and a cracked tooth.

McKowen Family Dental’s comfortable and relaxed setting is perfect for all dental emergencies. Our caring team will get right to work as soon as possible, mitigating your pain and performing necessary procedures to eliminate the potential for additional discomfort. As an example, we have helped local Springfield, MO residents dealing with considerable tooth pain by performing root canal therapy to eliminate damaged pulp inside of teeth. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of our dental emergency treatments. We will do whatever it takes to alleviate your pain and return your oral health to normal during your time of need.
