Dental emergencies can happen at the worst of times and when you least expect it. Whether it’s sudden toothache, a knock-out tooth, or other dental emergency, it is very important to get to a dentist quickly. At Chattanooga Family Dentistry, we understand the stress and discomfort associated with a dental emergency. As an emergency dentist in Chattanooga, we give you the prompt attention and care you need.
What is a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies are situations that need immediate attention to prevent further damage or pain. These may include the following:
Severe Toothache: Intense or throbbing pain that does not go away could be a sign of an underlying infection or a cavity that may have reached the nerve of the tooth.
Knocked-Out Tooth: If you have lost a tooth due to trauma or an accident, it is essential to get to a dentist as soon as possible to improve your chances of saving the tooth.
Cracked or Broken Teeth: If a cracked tooth is not taken care of quickly may lead to an infection due to the exposure of the inner layers of the tooth which becomes a very painful situation.
Loose or Dislodged Filling: A lost filling can cause discomfort and leave you vulnerable to an infection if not fixed quickly.
Swelling or Abscess: If you are experiencing swelling of the gums, or an abscess, you probably have an infection that must be treated immediately.
No matter what they of dental emergency you have, Chattanooga Family Dentistry will get you the care you need.
