What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

If you are in pain, something has broken, or you have noticed a sudden change in your mouth, it is worth calling us. Common dental emergencies we treat include:

Severe Toothache

A persistent or intense toothache often signals an infection, deep decay, or a cracked tooth. Over-the-counter pain relievers may offer temporary relief, but the underlying problem will not resolve on its own. Call us so we can diagnose the cause and provide appropriate treatment.

Chipped or Broken Tooth

Even a small chip can be painful and leave the tooth vulnerable to further damage. Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling, and call our office. If possible, save any broken fragments to bring with you.

Traumatic Tooth Loss

Time is critical. If a permanent tooth is lost traumatically, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that is not possible, place it in a cup of milk or between your cheek and gum and call us immediately. The sooner you are seen, the better the chance of saving the tooth.

Lost or Damaged Crown, Bridge, or Filling

A lost restoration leaves the tooth exposed and can lead to further damage or sensitivity quickly. Save the piece if you can find it and call us right away. Do not leave a damaged tooth unprotected for long.

Dental Abscess or Swelling

A dental abscess is a serious bacterial infection that can spread if left untreated. Symptoms include severe throbbing pain, swelling in the face or jaw, fever, and a bad taste in your mouth. This requires prompt attention. Call us immediately, and if swelling is significant or you are having difficulty swallowing or breathing, go to the nearest emergency room.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer after-hours emergency appointments?

At this time, we do not offer after-hours emergency care. Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 1 PM. If you are experiencing a dental emergency outside of business hours and the pain is severe, please go to your nearest urgent care or emergency room for initial evaluation and call us immediately when we open.

How quickly can I be seen for an emergency?

We do our best to see emergency patients the same day they call. Call us at 678-355-8301 as early in the day as possible so we can do our best to fit you into the schedule.

What if my child has a dental emergency?

We see patients ages 10 and older for emergencies. If your child is younger than 10, we recommend calling a local pediatric dentist who specializes in younger patients.

Will a dental emergency hurt my wallet?

We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer financing through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit. We will always discuss the cost of emergency treatment with you before proceeding so there are no surprises.

Can I take pain medication before my appointment?

Yes. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage discomfort until you are seen. Avoid aspirin if you have any bleeding, as it can thin the blood. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth.
