Our skilled emergency dentists in Hartselle and Priceville are equipped to handle all types of dental emergencies, ensuring you get the relief and treatment you need quickly.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
A dental emergency is any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to alleviate pain, save a tooth, or prevent serious complications. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothache or dental pain
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Swelling or infection in the gums, jaw, or mouth
- Lost or damaged fillings, crowns, or other restorations
- Broken dentures or partials
- Abscesses or signs of oral infection
If you are experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait—call Sittason Family Dentistry immediately. Acting fast can make a difference between saving or losing a tooth.
Our Approach to Emergency Dental Care
At Sittason Family Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort and care during dental emergencies. When you call our office, we’ll schedule you for the earliest available appointment, often the same day. Using advanced technology such as intraoral cameras and 3D CT scanning, we quickly diagnose the issue and provide effective treatment.
Our emergency services include:
- Pain relief and treatment for toothaches
- Emergency tooth extractions (if necessary)
- Repairing or replacing damaged restorations
- Treating oral infections or abscesses
- Care for injuries involving soft tissues like the gums, lips, or tongue
What to Do Until You See an Emergency Dentist
If you experience a dental emergency, follow these steps to minimize discomfort and protect your oral health until you can visit us:
- For a Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
- For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or a tooth preservation kit and bring it to our office immediately.
- For a Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water, and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Collect any broken pieces and bring them with you.
- For a Dental Abscess: Rinse with a mild saltwater solution to help draw out infection, but seek treatment immediately to prevent complications.
