Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out of my mouth this morning. Dr. Crawford, accompanied by his wonderful wife, Madelyn came to the office, even during this Memorial Day holiday weekend to bring healing and to restore me to my former self.They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. God’s blessings upon the entire Crawford family and office staff. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford’s office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist. This is a holiday weekend and Dr. Crawford didn’t even charge me. That’s Grace from on high. Thank you God for giving Dr. Crawford wisdom and knowledge to do such intricate work.

The holiday season is a time for joy, but a sudden dental emergency can quickly disrupt your plans. Whether you’re enjoying festive gatherings or traveling to see loved ones, knowing how to handle common issues like tooth extractions or periodontal concerns can help you stay calm during a holiday dental emergency.
What to Do When a Dental Emergency Strikes
If you experience severe tooth pain or gum swelling during the holidays, don’t ignore it. These could be signs of an abscess, advanced gum disease, or a damaged tooth that might require extraction or periodontal treatment.
Prompt action can help keep the issue from escalating. If you’re traveling or far from home, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and steer clear of chewing on the troubled area until you can visit Implant Dentistry & Laser Periodontics.

The best way to avoid holiday dental emergencies is through prevention. Book a dental appointment ahead of the holiday season to identify and resolve any potential issues in advance. If you’re already managing gum disease or other dental issues, stay consistent with your oral care routine, even during busy travel days.
