Emergency Dentistry – Shelbyville, TN
We work hard to take care of dental emergencies
Dental emergencies can happen anytime, and tend to be painful & scary. On top of that, they usually happen at the worst times, but with our office we try our best to handle emergencies and get patients out of pain as soon as possible. We know dental emergencies are not something you plan on, but with our caring team.. You can rest easy knowing you’ll be taken care of at Clements Dental.
Dental Accidents & Facial Trauma
Fractured teeth, dislodged teeth, knocked-out teeth – all of these emergency situations can happen anytime, leading to panic & pain. Here in Shelbyville Tennessee, we strongly encourage you and your family to remain calm. There is typically only a short window of time to rescue teeth in these dire situations, so please don’t hesitate to contact our dental office immediately for further instructions. Using a cold compress can help reduce any facial swelling that occurs in the interim; additionally, if a tooth has been entirely lost, try to place it back into its original socket or hold it in a container of milk in order to keep it moist.
Dental Emergencies Due To Oral Care Neglect
If you are experiencing significant sensitivity and/or outright pain in a specific tooth with no outward injuries, it’s likely that there’s a dental infection taking place beneath the enamel of your tooth. At Clements Dental, we strongly recommend that patients contact us as soon as possible with these types of symptoms – our very skilled dentists may be capable of revitalizing the tooth’s health with root canal therapy.
In some cases, prolonged oral discomfort may be caused by a food particle or piece of debris becoming lodged in the mouth. To rule out this possibility, you can floss and rinse the mouth thoroughly, paying particular attention to the spot where the pain seems to be coming from. If symptoms persist, please let us know so that we can get you in our office to take a better look and determine what needs to be done.
