If you have a horrible toothache you want a dentist who offer emergency dental service. Many general dentistry practices will have a dentist who can see dental emergencies within normal business hours. Fewer dentist offer extended dental care hours and fewer still have 24 hour emergency dental care available. Knowing whether or not your dentist can see you in a dental emergency is important as it can make all the difference in treatment if an accident does occur and you need to see a dentist immediately.
Speed is one of the most important aspects of any emergency dental service. If you are in pain you want emergency dental treatment fast. If you have an avulsed tooth (knocked out) or a chipped tooth then you want treatment fast. The speed with which a knocked out tooth is treated is actually extremely important in whether or not the treatment will be successful. If the tooth that has been damaged is an adult tooth it is even more important to get treatment because that tooth is meant to be permanent. Not treating it means you will have to spend even more money to replace the tooth.
Finding emergency dental service after normal business hours can be a problem for many people. The Atlanta Dental Group PC offers extended dental care hours to help our patients and new patients alike. This is especially apparent on Thursdays when we are open until 7 P.M.. Unfortunately neither of our dentists are 24 hour emergency dentists so we cannot offer around the clock dental care. In some cases you can go to the emergency room at a hospital but in most cases a patient will need to see a dentist.
If you have to make a emergency dental service and need emergency dental care, you are welcome to call Atlanta Emergency Dentist, Dr. Mark Allan Padolsky. If he is not available, one of the other Atlanta Dental Group PC dentists will often be able to see you. Be sure to inform the receptionist when you call that you are in pain or that the situation is an emergency. Call 404-874-7428 to schedule your emergency dental visit.
