Emergency Dentist Apex, NC

Dental emergencies are quite frightening and often painful. Prompt treatment is almost always required to alleviate pain and to ensure the teeth have the best possible chance of survival. Dr. Elise Brace is equipped to handle all types of dental emergency care so if you are in need of an emergency dentist in the Apex/Holly Springs area, it is important to contact us at the first sign of complications.  We understand that after hours dental emergencies can and do happen, so we try to make sure we are accessible at all times.  On the rare occasion that you cannot reach one of our staff in an emergency situation, we recommend you proceed immediately to the nearest hospital emergency room.

Sometimes teeth become fractured by trauma, grinding or biting on hard objects. In other cases, fillings, crowns and other restorative devices can be damaged or fall out of the mouth completely. If there is severe pain, it is essential to make an appointment with the dentist as quickly as possible. The pain caused by dental emergencies almost always gets worse without treatment, and dental issues can seriously jeopardize physical health.

It is important to call the dentist immediately to make an appointment. In the meantime, use a cold compress and over-the-counter medications to relieve pain. The dentist will reposition the tooth and add splints to stabilize it. If the tooth fails to heal, root canal therapy may be required.

We provide emergency dental care to people of all ages in Apex, Holly Springs, Cary and Fuquay-Varina in Wake County, NC and close-by communities.
