Visit Bridgeport, Trumbull Dentist Dr. Curtis for Fast Relief of Dental Issues

There are many small ways you can keep from developing a dental emergency. In fact, the ADA provides excellent precautionary guidelines to avoid dental discomfort and trauma. For example:

• Wearing a mouthguard greatly reduces your chance of an oral injury on the playing field,
• Avoid risky habits like chewing ice or hard candy that can cause your teeth to chip or crack
• Don’t use your teeth to help open stubborn plastic packaging or cut tape
• Visit Dr. Curtis for preventive maintenance visits at regular intervals, so he can spot any problem areas as they develop.

Sometimes, though, even your best efforts can be thwarted by an unexpected problem or injury. If this happens to you, call our office for a same-day emergency appointment. Dr. Curtis can assess your condition and provide on-the-spot care to relieve the issue. It’s important to remember that pain is like a signal flare from your body, warning you that something’s wrong. Even if your tooth pain subsides for a while, it doesn’t mean that the underlying problem has disappeared.

Restoring your health and protecting your smile is always our focus, so the sooner Dr. Curtis sees you, the better the outcome will be for your smile. If you or a family member is experiencing an urgent dental issue, call our Bridgeport, Trumbull, Fairfield office in Commerce Park near the Trumbull Mall.
