Dental emergencies have a nasty habit of not always happening at a convenient time or even during regular business hours. And at TruCare Dental, our dentist in Albuquerque NM dedication to our valued patients means that we want to be there for you when you need us the most. That’s why our urgent dental care will see you even without an appointment when you have a toothache, dislodged or avulsed (knocked out) tooth, other issue that needs immediate attention. Furthermore, you can leave a message for us even after hours or in the middle of the night. We check our messages 24 hours per day.

Toothaches are a common reason for needing the help of our dentist in Albuquerque NM. They can be the result of something relatively simple, such as a lost filling or a cavity that needs one. Or it could be something a bit more complicated, such as an infected tooth or an abscess. It’s not always easy from your standpoint of being in pain to determine if your tooth is at imminent risk. That’s the job of our dentist in Albuquerque NM. What you don’t want to do is ignore the problem or put it off, and end up having to lose the tooth when it could just as easily have been saved. This is also true of a dislodged or avulsed tooth. Time is a huge factor in whether the tooth can be rescued or not. And you will need to keep the tooth moist if it is completely out of your mouth. Place it in a container of milk or with water that contains a pinch of salt until you can get to our office.

Keep our phone number programmed in your phones, both at home and your mobile one. Our dentist in Albuquerque NM is dedicated to prompt care and treatment.

At TruCare Dental, we provide family dentistry in Albuquerque NM and recommend patients come in for regular cleanings so that we can check on gums and teeth. Having an annual dental checkup is important when it comes to keeping teeth clean and healthy. Catching any gum disease, cavities or problems with teeth early is the best way to fix or reverse any problems happening and before they get worse over time. We provide dental care for adults and children, making our office truly a family friendly practice.

We find that many kids come in for fillings due to cavities. Cavities and tooth decay happen as a result of plaque and tartar buildup that is caused by bacteria in the mouth as well as foods and sugars. Symptoms of cavities can be sensitivity to hot or cold substances, pain, throbbing, swelling of the gums around the tooth or soreness. A cavity can be fixed with a procedure called a filling, to prevent future breakage or cracking. Cavities can lead to tooth loss, the need for a root canal, or worse if not taken care of. Our family dentistry in Albuquerque NM office performs fillings for both kids and adults in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

We also help our patients both young and old learn more about oral hygiene so they can reverse gum disease. We do this by utilizing proper brushing and flossing habits, which are learned at our office for family dentistry in Albuquerque NM. Proper oral hygiene can actually help to alleviate the symptoms of mild forms of gingivitis, which can cause gum swelling, soreness and other problems. If gum disease persists, it can damage the bone and tooth and cause tooth loss or bone loss. The good news is that brushing and flossing twice daily helps to eradicate the plaque and bacteria that contribute to gingivitis.

If you have a missing tooth that needs to be replaced, you will want to visit us at TruCare Dental. Many patients come to see as to get a dental implant in Albuquerque NM to take care of their tooth loss problem.

When patients come to our dental practice to get dental implants, they will be seen by one of our top-notch dentists, just one of whom is Dr. Andrea Patterson. A dental implant in Albuquerque NM is a very popular way for patients to have a missing tooth replaced at our office because dental implants look, feel, and function just like permanent teeth. Our dentist will first determine whether or not you are a good candidate for dental implants. You will be checked that your jawbone is healthy enough and thick enough to be able to completely heal from the dental implant surgery, and so that the new titanium dental implant root can fully fuse to it during the recovery process. Once you are determined to be a good candidate for this procedure, one dental implant root will be surgically inserted into your jawbone for each tooth that is going to be replaced. There will then be a healing period of several months. Once our dentist finds that the healing has completed, and that the dental implant root has completely fuse to the jawbone, a beautiful porcelain crown will be made to be permanently attached to the top of the new dental implant root. Once this occurs, your new dental implant will be complete. All you will need to do to take care of it is to make sure that you have a great at-home tooth cleaning regimen, and that you have regular dental cleanings every six months to help keep your gums in excellent condition. The dental implant will not only look just like a permanent tooth, but it will allow you to eat anything you want in total comfort.
