Contact UsWhat Is Emergency Dental Care?
When you're experiencing a painful dental emergency, the only thing on your mind is often how to find quick relief. Sudden dental emergencies may be caused by athletic accidents, physical altercations, tripping over a curb, or merely biting into tough foods. Dr. Todd K. Baum and our wonderful staff provide fast emergency dentistry in a caring setting. We can effectively treat many different urgent dental issues for Grand Ledge, MI patients, including missing fillings, tooth pain, and knocked-out (avulsed) or fractured teeth. Oral trauma won't always trigger oral pain right away; therefore, it's important to have your mouth examined for any unrealized damage. At Dr. Todd K. Baum, DDS, PC, we always make every effort to offer emergency dental treatment as quickly as we can.
What Can I Expect During My Emergency Dental Visit?
The specifics of your emergency dental procedure will depend on the reason you're visiting. During your appointment, Dr. Baum will thoroughly assess your personal concerns before making a diagnosis. Digital x-rays may be done to check for internal damage, such as to the jawbone and roots of your teeth. Once we have had a chance to review the nature of your dental issue, we will go over your options for treatment. At Dr. Todd K. Baum, DDS, PC, the most important purpose of an urgent visit is to reduce dental pain and resolve any trauma. We want to bring back the function, appeal, and total health of your smile as soon as we can. Depending on the extent of your injury, follow-up visits may be needed.

About UsEmergency Dental Care FAQs
What kinds of problems count as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include situations where immediate attention is required to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common emergencies include knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, severe toothache, abscesses, and significant bleeding or swelling in the mouth.
What should I do if one of my teeth gets knocked out?
If one of your teeth gets knocked out, it's important to act quickly:
- Pick up the tooth by the crown (the part that is visible in the mouth). Avoid touching the root.
- If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it with water. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments.
- If possible, try to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not feasible, place the tooth in a small container of milk or your saliva.
- Contact our office immediately. The sooner you can see Dr. Baum, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
Do you offer sedation for emergency dental treatments?
Dr. Todd K. Baum, DDS, PC is pleased to offer nitrous oxide sedation for emergency dental treatments. This option helps manage pain and anxiety during urgent procedures, ensuring that you remain comfortable and calm throughout the treatment.
