When should I schedule a same-day appointment?

Same-day appointments aren’t just about convenience. They help you when you have an unexpected tooth problem and need a prompt resolution.

A same-day appointment is appropriate in many circumstances, including:

• Sudden and severe tooth pain
• Uncomfortable tooth sensitivity
• Swelling in your gums or jaw
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Concerns following oral surgery

Dental emergencies can be promptly treated with a same-day appointment. These include knocked-out teeth or uncontrollable mouth bleeding. 

If you’re not sure that your condition needs a same-day appointment, contact the Federal Way Dental office. The team can schedule you appropriately so you get the care you need. 

What are the benefits of same-day appointments?

The team at Federal Way Dental understands that you can’t always plan in advance when it comes to your oral health. While you can schedule preventive care visits ahead of time, like dental cleanings and checkups, issues like tooth pain or sensitivity may arise suddenly and need to be addressed that day. 

Sometimes, you may notice a slight bothersome sensation and hope that the symptoms go away on their own. If they persist or worsen, you need care right away to make sure you don’t have an infection or other serious tooth problems. 

Same-day appointments demonstrate that the Federal Way Dental team takes your oral health care seriously and wants to help you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile. 

What treatments do you offer at same-day appointments?

Treatment depends on the cause of your visit. The team at Federal Way Dental may be able to perform a root canal, dental bonding for a chip or crack, apply a temporary crown, or extract a tooth during your same-day visit. 

If you need extensive treatment, your dentist can provide a temporary fix to prevent worsening of your problem and relieve pain. They can also schedule your future dental work. 

Tooth pain can be quite distracting and hard to tolerate. It’s usually a sign of an underlying problem that won’t just fix itself. If you wait to receive care, infection may spread and your condition can worsen. Same-day appointments help you get the treatments you need right away to alleviate discomfort and prevent more costly and painful treatments later on.
