Due to the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 coronavirus, many dentists are closing their offices entirely, and are no longer seeing patients for routine dental care. At Poulos, Somers & Marshall, we’re doing our part to help slow down the spread, which means we are no longer seeing patients for routine visits.

But what does this mean for you if you have a dental emergency, like a serious toothache or a broken tooth? Can you still get emergency dental care in downtown Denver from Poulos, Somers & Marshall? Read on, and find out what you should do if you have a dental emergency during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

You Can Still Get Emergency Dental Care During The COVID-19 Outbreak

First, let’s answer the most important question. Can you get emergency care from Poulos, Somers & Marshall during the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak? The answer is “yes.”

What Qualifies As A Dental Emergency? Understanding The Basics 

Not sure if your condition qualifies as a dental emergency? There are many different dental health issues that demand immediate care from Poulos, Somers & Marshall. Here are a few of the most common dental problems that may require you to get immediate care.

  • Oral trauma – If you suffer a blow to the mouth from a slip and fall or any other accident, you may end up with a loose, knocked out, or broken tooth, or serious cuts to your oral tissue. All of these conditions are emergencies, and demand immediate treatment.
  • Lost or damaged dental work – If you pull out a crown or a filling while eating a piece of sticky food, or you damage or dislodge your dental work while chewing or biting, you need to get help right away to prevent your vulnerable tooth from being damaged.
  • Bleeding gums – Gums that bleed a lot when brushing or flossing or bleed for no reason could qualify as a dental emergency. This usually indicates a case of periodontal disease. You may need immediate care to treat your condition and restore your smile.
  • Painful, persistent toothache – This indicates a very deep cavity, or may be caused by a tooth infection. Both of these conditions are serious, and demand immediate care from the team at Poulos, Somers & Marshall.
