Identifying a Dental Emergency

Severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, significant swelling, or trauma to the teeth and mouth may require immediate professional attention.

Contact our office promptly if you experience any of the following:

Severe Toothache

Persistent or throbbing dental pain may indicate deep decay, inflammation, infection, or an abscess that requires professional treatment.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out permanent tooth is time-sensitive. Immediate action may improve the possibility of successfully saving the tooth.

Chipped or Broken Tooth

A significant fracture can expose the sensitive inner portion of a tooth, causing pain and increasing the risk of infection.

Lost Filling or Crown

A missing restoration can leave weakened tooth structure exposed to bacteria, pressure, and temperature sensitivity.

Dental Abscess

Swelling, severe pain, fever, or a pimple-like area on the gums may indicate an infection requiring urgent evaluation.

Soft-Tissue Injury

Deep cuts or injuries to the lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums may need professional care, particularly when bleeding does not stop.

If you are unsure whether your condition is an emergency, call (770) 394-3114. Our team can discuss your symptoms and help determine the appropriate next step.

Emergency Dental Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

Pick up the tooth by its crown, not its root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently with water without scrubbing. If possible, carefully place it back into the socket. Otherwise, keep it moist in a container of milk and call us immediately. Receiving treatment within approximately 30 to 60 minutes may offer the best opportunity to save the tooth.
Should I visit an emergency room for a dental emergency?

Most dental emergencies should be treated by a dentist who can address the source of the problem. However, call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room if you experience difficulty breathing, severe facial swelling, uncontrollable bleeding, suspected jaw trauma, or another life-threatening condition.
How can I manage tooth pain before my appointment?

Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if swelling is present. An over-the-counter pain reliever may help when taken as directed and when medically appropriate for you. Do not place aspirin directly against the tooth or gums because it can injure the tissue.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?

We reserve time for urgent dental concerns and make every reasonable effort to see emergency patients on the same day they call. Contact us as early as possible so our team can evaluate your situation and arrange the earliest available visit.
How much does emergency dental care cost?

The cost depends on the condition and the treatment required. After evaluating your emergency, we will explain the recommended care and provide an estimate before beginning treatment. We accept many dental insurance plans and offer payment options to help make urgent care more manageable.
