What Are Dental Emergencies?
Trying to find much-needed help when you have a dental emergency can be an inconvenient, uncomfortable situation. Unexpected dental emergencies can result from athletic accidents, trauma, tripping on the stairs, or even just eating crunchy foods. Dr. Sean Melton and his highly skilled team offer timely emergency dental services in a caring atmosphere. We are able to see a range of pressing dental problems for Helena, MT patients, such as loose fillings, oral discomfort, and dislodged or chipped teeth. Tooth trauma doesn't necessarily result in oral pain right away; therefore, it's very important to have your mouth checked for any unknown damage. At Melton Dental, we always strive to offer emergency care promptly.
What Happens During An Emergency Care Visit?
Methods of treatment for emergency dental concerns will vary for every case. At your appointment, Dr. Melton will fully assess your particular concerns before making a diagnosis. Full-mouth x-rays could be conducted to look for unobserved trauma, such as to the bone, tooth roots, or jaw. After we understand the extent of your dental issue, we will talk about your options for treatment. At Melton Dental, the main goal of an urgent appointment is to lessen oral discomfort and detect any damage. We aim to restore the use, appeal, and total health of your teeth as swiftly as we can. However, follow-up procedures may be in order.

Melton Dental Reviews
Sean is very good, and he surrounds himself with classy assistants. He will work with his clients on challenging needs and is totally fair.
My first visit and what a great experience; despite the complexity of enhancing my smile and being in the chair 2 1/2 hours! Dr Melton snd his staff are top shelf. Professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. I’ll post before and after photos when my dental work is complete.
This was the best customer service I have ever had! My son was getting senior pictures this weekend and was supposed to get teeth whitened Friday. A staff member got sick so need to reschedule, but Dr. Melton called a staff member (Lenny (who was amazing)) see if there was anyway someone could come in on Saturday. They came in on their day off to whiten my sons' teeth! She was so kind, excellent customer service, made us feel welcome! We will be back, and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Melton Dental!
I have a great experience every time I go to my appointments - Dr. Melton is genuine and understanding, his staff is also very nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend Melton Dental to anyone in town!
Everyone is so great and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
If you or your child has a knocked-out tooth, contact us immediately so we can attempt to save it. Before coming in, try to place the tooth back into its socket. If that's not possible, place it in milk to help preserve it until you arrive at our office.
When is a toothache considered an emergency?
If you're experiencing severe dental pain that persists or keeps you awake at night, we recommend calling our office in Helena, MT. This could be a sign of a tooth infection, which, if left untreated, might spread to other body parts.
What should I do if I lose a dental crown or filling?
If you lose a dental crown or filling, try to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side. You can use dental cement or temporary filling material (available at most drugstores) to cover the area until you can Dr. Melton. It's important to contact Melton Dental as soon as possible for a proper repair to prevent further damage or infection.
