We Take The Trauma Out Of Dental Trauma

Categories: Dental Emergency, Restorative Dentistry

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we encounter many nervous dental patients. ‘Nervous’ is an understatement in some cases—especially patients who are having a dental emergency.

Patients who come in with a tooth injury are already experiencing pain. If they have dental anxiety or dental phobia in addition to the injury, the experience can be downright terrifying.

We Understand Dental Anxiety

We understand. As an emergency dental clinic, our practice specializes in putting patients at ease. We use different types of dental sedation to help nervous patients with a dental emergency.

We practice gentle, pain-free dentistry. Dental treatment will not begin until you are numb.

We,= Will Ease Your Pain Quickly, Then Proceed At Your Pace

Speak up immediately if you have a problem. We will pause treatment, administer an additional analgesic and wait until it takes effect.

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we never rush your dental visit.

We provide many in-office amenities at Your Time Dental Urgent Care which help our dental patients concentrate on something pleasant during dental treatment.

Not every dental patient chooses sedation dentistry. Sometimes chemical-free diversions such as listening to your favorite music provide a distraction while allowing you to remain clear-headed.

Don’t let dental anxiety keep you from getting professional care for your dental emergency. At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we understand dental anxiety and will help you through your process.

We treat dental trauma without leaving you traumatized.

Why Visit The Dentist?

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, General Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry

Why Visit The Dentist?

In today’s post, we share a personal story from a patient:

For many years, I didn’t have ‘go to the dentist at the top of my to-do list.

But all that has changed. I now consider visits a fundamental part of my personal health plan. 

Here’s why…

Teeth won’t stay healthy without scheduled dental visits. I’ve come to realize this more definitively as I get older. From the obvious functional utility to the important cosmetic nature of teeth, we literally can’t live without them.

When it comes to functional utility, teeth are the foundation of our health. We use them to eat every day. The status of our teeth can impose needless restrictions on our diet. With no teeth at all, our diet might be so restricted we don’t get the necessary nutrition. 

For those who don’t have teeth, this is a sobering realization. Dentures and other prosthetic solutions can help. There are substitutes for the real thing, but having your own genuine teeth is preferred.

When it comes to the cosmetic side, there isn’t a replacement for a bright and toothy smile. It may be the most noticeable element of our face. Having a pleasing smile our self-esteem.

I’ve learned that a healthy smile is more than just a nice set of teeth. It contributes to all personal interactions.

Aging combined with poor dental hygiene is perilous for teeth. The simple process of eating causes wear and tear. A continuous bacterial onslaught threatens the protective enamel. Cavities, periodontitis (advanced gum disease), and trauma round out the list of detriments that could separate us from our teeth.

We Want To Help You Have a Healthy Smile

Healthy oral habits are, of course, the best way to keep your teeth in great shape. Practicing daily oral hygiene will improve your health now and in the future.

Regular dental visits are also indispensable. Your dentist can help you improve the health of your teeth. Your Time Dental Urgent Care can help you discover oral problems before they become destructive.

Since your teeth are central to your overall health, it is essential to find a reliable dentist who can help.

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we have extended hours. We can accommodate your schedule.

Why A Root Canal Is Not Something To Fear

Categories: Dental Emergency

root canal sedation Gibsonton

Today’s Your Time Dental Urgent Care post addresses one of the most feared dental procedures: the infamous root canal.

If you are told that you need a root canal, don’t panic. Your dentist recommends this procedure when it is better for your tooth than the alternatives.

A successful root canal (or endodontic treatment in dental-speak) can save a tooth and prevent the need for an extraction followed by a dental bridge, dental implant, or gap in your smile.

If, after a thorough evaluation, we determine that a tooth needs a root canal, our team will explain the procedure and costs that are involved.

Root canals are handled to save an infected tooth. If not treated, abscesses and complete tooth loss may occur.

During the procedure, Kernagis will remove the nerve and pulp, and then clean and disinfect the interior of your tooth (the canal). The next step is filling and sealing the cleaned area with a special rubbery material, and then protecting the restored tooth with a crown or filling.

Root canals have the reputation of being painful, but this is not the case anymore. There are several effective pain management methods available today at Your Time Dental Urgent Care. We will make sure you are comfortable during the procedure. Once the infected tissue is removed, we will focus on helping the area heal.

Your Time Dental Urgent Care is more than just an emergency dentist. We offer a number of great dental services. If your dental needs are urgent but not emergencies, that’s no reason to avoid calling us. We have late and weekend hours specifically so that you CAN call us when you need to.

Can You Handle A Dental Emergency?

Categories: Dental Emergency

Fishhawk after hours dental

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we hope you never go through a serious dental emergency. It’s important, however, to know what to do in such a situation. Call us at Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton. It could be an urgent problem that needs our attention.

Here is a quiz on dental emergencies and other oral issues.

One of the wires on your braces breaks. What do you do?

a. Cut off the loose piece.
b. Put a piece of orthodontic wax on the end if it is irritating your tongue or gums. Schedule an appointment immediately with your orthodontist to have it fixed.
c. If the wire has cut your gums, rinse with a solution of salt and water.

Both b and c are correct. If you don’t have a piece of orthodontic wax, you can use a cotton ball to cover the sharp end. If you cut off the loose end of the wire, you risk swallowing it.

Your six-year-old falls on the driveway and knocks out a front tooth. What do you do before driving immediately to the nearest dental office or ER?

a. Put the tooth back in the socket.
b. If the tooth is dirty, scrub it with a brush.
c. Put the tooth in milk.

Your response depends on whether it is a baby tooth or permanent tooth. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, it may be successfully re-implanted if done rapidly. Make sure you only hold the tooth by the crown, never touch the root. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with water being cautious not to brush off any tissue attached. It possible, put the tooth back in the socket. This may not be possible with younger children.

Because it is important to keep the tooth from drying out on your way to your dentist or nearest emergency room, you can put the tooth in a cup of milk. Baby teeth should not be reinserted because it can potentially harm the emerging tooth.

You lose a filling and the tooth starts hurting. After scheduling an appointment with your Gibsonton dentist, what do you do in the meantime?

a. Save the filling.
b. Take OTC pain medication.
c. Put an aspirin on the tooth.

Both a and b are correct. Though your dentist can’t use the same filling to repair the problem, it may reveal useful information about the cause of the separation. Never put an aspirin on a tooth because the acid in it could irritate your gums.

One of your teeth suddenly darkens. What are the possible causes?

a. The nerve inside the tooth is damaged.
b. It is a side effect of a medication you are taking.
c. Gum disease.
d. An infection.

The answer is all of the above.

Call us at 813-519-0903 immediately if you have a dental emergency!

What Is Necessary For A Dental Crown?

Categories: Restorative Dentistry

dental crowns Gibsonton

Dental crowns have been around for millennia and are still used to restore smiles today. At Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton, we place crowns almost every day.

Ancient dentists used ivory, bone, and seashells to make crowns for teeth. Evidence of gold crowns dates from 200 A.D. Porcelain crowns appeared in the 1800s. With the advancement of metal casting methods in the 1900s, crown technology took a big leap forward.

A dental crown procedure consists of multiple steps:

Tooth Preparation

We anesthetize the tooth to be crowned and then prepare it. All decay is removed and the tooth is shaped.

Creating a Good Impression

A putty-like substance is used to make an impression of the tooth and surrounding teeth. An impression will also be made of the teeth that oppose the crown. This ensures that the crown does not negatively affect the bite.

The Temporary Crown

A temporary crown is used to guard the tooth and be sure it doesn’t move in the mouth while the permanent crown is being created. Patients need to be careful with their temporary crown. It is not as strong as the permanent crown and is attached only with temporary cement. Avoid chewing gum and eating sticky foods. Be aware that the tooth may be sensitive to hot and cold.

Choosing a Color

If the new crown will be produced with porcelain, you and your dentist will use a shade guide to select a shade for the restoration. Most people don’t have teeth that are exactly the same color. You will need to ascertain the best shade to blend in with the surrounding teeth.

Your Crown Is Put In Place

When the new crown is ready, your dentist places it in your mouth and makes any necessary adjustment to attain a perfect fit. This process shouldn’t be rushed. Sometimes less than a millimeter of drilling can make the difference between an ill-fitting crown that makes irregular contact with the opposing teeth and a crown that is properly fitted.

Your Time Dental Urgent Care is more than just an emergency dentist. We offer a number of great dental services. If your dental needs are urgent but not emergencies, that’s no reason to avoid calling us. We have late and weekend hours specifically so that you CAN call us when you need to.
