What Is a Dental Emergency?

Toothache Pain

There are a number of causes of tooth pain. Some of them are minor while others are more severe and need immediate attention. Some causes of dental pain include cavities, chipped, capped, or broken teeth, an impacted tooth, gum disease, or dental injuries. It’s important to have your toothache examined as soon as possible to prevent or limit damage to the tooth and gums. Our experienced dental team will quickly assess your toothache pain emergency and provide you with the best treatment options available.

Tooth knocked-out

A tooth that has been knocked out, dislodged, or loosened is a common dental emergency. Call us immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth. You can find additional instructions for how to handle a knocked-out tooth below, but the most important thing is to contact our team right away and let our emergency dental team do our best to help save your tooth.

Broken/cracked/chipped tooth

A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth can be moderately to severely painful and can also increase the risk of infection or more severe tooth and gum problems. As with other dental emergencies, the sooner you’re able to repair the damage, the better. Don’t delay your treatment. Let our team treat your fractured, broken, or chipped tooth and relieve the pain right away.

Loose or Lost Fillings

If you can feel your filling coming loose or if your dental filling has fallen out, you should contact our emergency dental team right away.

What To Do In A Dental Emergency?

Knocked Out Adult Tooth

  1. Pick up the tooth by the crown (the pointed part of the tooth usually covered by enamel), do not touch the root.
  2. Rinse the tooth - do not use soap, gently use water to rinse off any dirt. Don’t scrub or dry off the tooth.
  3. Try to put the tooth back in the socket – holding the crown you can gently push it in or set it above the socket and slowly close your mouth. Lightly bite down or use a finger to keep the tooth in place.

If you can’t put it in the socket, keep it moist. You can achieve this by keeping it in your mouth or putting it in a safe liquid such as milk (not tap water).

  1. See a dentist or endodontist within 60 minutes.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, don’t wait – act now. The faster you come see us at Marquee Dental, the greater the chance you can save your tooth and the sooner you can be out of pain. The sooner you can get care the higher the chance of implantation – this will vary on a case-by-case basis, so still see a nearby dentist if you miss this deadline.

Broken, Cracked or Chipped Tooth

  1. Using warm water, rinse out your mouth and any broken pieces.
  2. For bleeding, apply material such as gauze to the affected area for 10 minutes, or until bleeding subsides.
  3.  To keep down swelling, hold a cold compress to the outside of the affected area (mouth, cheek, or lip).
  4. Bring any tooth fragments in a wet towel or gauze to the office as soon as possible.

Object Stuck/Caught In-between Teeth

Try to carefully use floss to remove the object if possible. Do not use something metal like a pin to attempt to prod the object- you risk cutting your gums or scratching the tooth. Instead, try using your tongue or dental floss. Be extra careful if you have TMJ or other jaw pain issues.

If this fails, schedule an appointment.

Missing Crown/Filling

Losing a crown or filling is not automatically an emergency, particularly when not caused by an injury. Sometimes it can happen when grinding or biting down on something. However, if the tooth is infected, you should immediately seek dental care.

Some signs of potential tooth infection:

  • Severe pain (especially when pain relievers do not help) - could be constant throbbing or present when biting/chewing
  • Swelling in face, jaw, lymph nodes, or around the gum area near the crown
  • Fever
  • Difficulty opening mouth/moving jaw
  • Yellow, green, or clear discharge

General Toothache

If you are unsure what is causing your toothache or pain, schedule an appointment. In the meantime, you can try the following for pain management:

  • Ice packs – hold against jaw for 20 minutes
  • Over the counter pain reliever/anesthetics
  • Use one of the following rinses:
    • Hydrogen peroxide – do not swallow, mix with water if not a prepackaged wash.
    • Saltwater – mix ½ teaspoon salt into 8 ounces water. Swish for 30 seconds and then spit.

Follow instructions and keep in mind any interactions with your current medications.

How to Pay for A Dental Emergency?

Don’t let concerns over procedure cost keep you from getting relief. Marquee Dental partners with the following insurance providers.

Depending on the treatment plan and associated costs, a payment plan might be available.

How to Prevent A Dental Emergency?

Frequent tooth brushing & flossing

Plaque is the primary cause of tooth decay. The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth for 2 minutes twice a day.

Routine appointments and exams

You can protect your gums and help avoid cavities with routine teeth cleaning. Regular exams can lead to the prevention of various oral diseases and stopping tooth decay.

Protecting your mouth from injury

When engaging in sports or other vigorous activity, there is prevention equipment you can use:

  • Mouth guards
  • Face cages

Family Dentistry

Do you need a caring and honest dentist you can trust to serve your entire family? We provide a full range of family dentistry services, whether you are looking into teeth whitening or porcelain veneers, have a teenager who needs braces, or has a young child and you want to take them to their first dental appointment.

Active Promotion

Emergency Dentistry

You never know when a dental emergency will happen. Thankfully, Marquee Dental is Nashville’s most trusted Dental Emergency team. We have a team of dental experts to serve you.

Clear Aligners

Straighten your teeth with a clear alternative to metal braces. (For Example: Invisalign®)

Clear aligners are a removable, discreet orthodontic treatment. They consist of a series of trays that you wear for several weeks at a time. As your teeth gently move into position, you start using the next set of trays.

Dental Bridges

A safe, low-risk way to replace one or more missing teeth. Natural teeth or dental implants can be used as anchors to support the suspended replacement teeth.

Dental Implants

Do you have a missing tooth? We understand how this can make you feel. We believe that everyone should be able to achieve their best smile.

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.

Veneers

Our veneers will match the color of surrounding teeth and help improve the appearance of your smile.

Dentures

Tooth loss is challenging on many levels. Not only can it affect what you eat and how you chew leading to more serious health concerns, it can also make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Tooth Extractions

While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Teeth Whitening

Let our team help you determine what whitening process is right for you, based on the current color and condition of your teeth.
