Recognizing a true dental emergency
Not every toothache requires immediate care, but certain symptoms should not wait. Seek urgent dental care if you have severe pain that does not respond to over-the-counter medication, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out permanent tooth, or a broken tooth with sharp edges that injure your tongue or cheek.
If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call our office at (678) 321-7575. Our team can help you decide whether same-day care is needed or if you can safely wait for a regular appointment.
Steps to take before you arrive
Staying calm and taking the right first steps can protect your tooth and reduce pain until you reach the dentist.
For tooth pain
Rinse with warm water, floss gently to remove trapped debris, and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek for swelling. Avoid placing heat on the jaw. Do not apply aspirin directly to the gum — that can burn tissue.
For a knocked-out tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown only, rinse briefly if dirty, and try to reinsert it into the socket if possible. If you cannot reinsert it, store the tooth in milk or saliva and call immediately. With a knocked-out adult tooth, minutes matter for the best chance of saving it.
Broken or cracked teeth
For a broken tooth
Save any fragments, rinse your mouth with warm water, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on that side until you are seen. If a sharp edge is cutting your tongue or cheek, cover it with sugarless gum or dental wax until your visit.
Cracks that cause pain when biting may indicate damage below the gum line. Even if the tooth looks fine, prompt evaluation helps prevent infection or further fracture.
