If you have a dental emergency you may be in a bit of a pickle because not every dentist offers emergency dental care. The Atlanta Dental Group PC offers emergency dental care for both regular patients and new patients. We even offer extended dental care hours to help accommodate such emergencies. With an emergencies, it is often important to get dental treatment as quickly as possible, as the term emergency applies. Time can make all the difference in how successfully a dentist can treat a dental problem.

        In a dental emergency it is important to know what to do. Many people get stressed out or let their dental pain affect their actions. If you have a knocked out tooth or have a chipped tooth, knowing how to handle the situation is vital. If the tooth is chipped you must remember to find the broken part. If a tooth is knocked out you, must find the tooth, pick it up by the crown, rinse it with cold water and put it in a container of milk or water. If you do these things and see an emergency dentist immediately, you may be able to save the tooth and avoid the need for full tooth dental restorations.

        If your dental emergency is severe toothache pain, you probably want to see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. Many people will ignore a toothache until it becomes so severe that they absolutely have to see a dentist. When this is the case, the problem is often so severe it will require a serious treatment. If toothache pain is persistent, you should see a dentist as soon as possible because the cause of the dental pain could grow worse. If left untreated long enough, a small problem could grow to the point that the only remedy is a tooth extraction or root canal.
