Soft Tissue Facial Injuries
Soft tissue lacerations to the lips, gums, cheeks, or tongue can be quickly treated so that your appearance and oral health do not suffer. This type of injury typically requires closing the affected area as well as using a cold compress to reduce swelling. If you’re unable to stop any bleeding after 10 minutes of applying pressure, visit a local ER before arriving at our office for help.
Bone Injuries of the Maxillofacial Region
Our Piney Point OMS of Cypress team isn’t deterred by a fractured or broken jaw. Instead, we are equipped to treat this problem using the best technologies and techniques available. When suffering from injuries within the upper jaw and facial bones, you may find it hard to eat or speak initially; however, over time, oral function will improve once we can reset the bones and repair any damaged or missing teeth.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
If you want to avoid visiting our dental office for a sudden emergency, there are things you can do to lower your chances of an unexpected visit, such as:
- Wearing appropriate mouth protection while playing sports
- Being mindful of what you eat and staying away from hard, crunchy foods
- Avoiding harmful habits that include eating ice and biting down on pens or pencils out of stress
- Brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes and flossing at least once before bedtime to prevent possible decay, infection, or additional tooth loss

The Cost of Treating Dental Emergencies
The cost of treating dental emergencies in Cypress requires a scheduled appointment with one of our doctors. Dr. Koo, Dr. Shepard, or Dr. Beidas will examine the affected area of your mouth or face and determine what kind of treatment will be required. This factor, in addition to those concerning your overall health and whether you plan to use your dental insurance, will form the estimate we will review with you during your visit. Our team will then discuss how to lower any expenses you incur that may not otherwise be covered by your insurance.
