SPORTS INJURY TREATMENT

We understand that accidents can happen while playing sports or during a game. If you experience a dental injury, such as a lost, broken, or chipped tooth, we can provide prompt treatment and help you get back to your favorite activity as quickly as possible. We will also endeavor to minimize your discomfort if you’re feeling any pain. Urgent dental needs from trauma should be addressed by an emergency dentist on the same day or as quickly as possible to ensure the best treatment options and long term success. If you are unable to get to our office, we will recommend at-home care options to minimize discomfort and keep treatment options available.

Should an urgent dental need arise, please phone our office anytime. We are committed to our patients and service. Everyday of the year, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, Scripps Center for Dental Care maintains a lead clinical coordinator and a doctor on call to meet your urgent needs.

Sports and games are more fun when they’re played safely. Contact us for more information on sports dentistry, or to schedule a consultation.
