Toothache Pain Relief

Accidents happen, and injuries may involve your teeth. Since this requires specialized care, look to The Right Smile Center for emergency dentistry in Chamblee. Call us or come into the office and we’ll let you know what your best recourse is.

There are several dental emergencies our emergency dentist in Chamblee can handle and few that we cannot. When you need more care than we can provide, we will refer you to the emergency room or a specialist. When in doubt, seek medical help. There are always options for pain relief, as well as care you can provide at home. However, if x-rays or other treatment is necessary, you want to make sure you get help as soon as possible.

Beyond emergency treatment, our practice for family dentistry in Sandy Springs provides you with a great many services. Count on us for everything from cosmetic dentistry to periodontal treatment and oral cancer screenings to routine cleanings.

Tips for Dealing with Dental Emergencies:

Bitten Lip or Tongue

Clean the area gently with a cloth and apply cold compresses to reduce any swelling. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, go to a hospital emergency room immediately.

Broken Tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Use cold compresses on the area to keep any swelling down. Call our dental office immediately.

Cracked Tooth

Depending on the size and location of the crack, treatment may vary from bonding to root canal treatment. A severely cracked tooth may need extraction.  During your examination, we will determine the best treatment for you.

Tiny cracks are common and usually do not cause problems. Regular dental checkups are important, because they allow us to diagnose and treat problems in the early stage.  If you continue to have pain, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and call our Sandy Springs or Chamblee dental office, because that’s what we are here for.

Jaw-Possibly Broken

Apply cold compresses to control swelling. Call us and/or go to a hospital emergency room immediately.

Knocked Out Tooth

Hold the tooth by the crown and rinse off the root of the tooth in water if it’s dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, gently insert and hold the tooth in its socket (in your mouth). If that isn’t possible, put the tooth in a cup of milk and call us as quickly as possible to make an appointment. And remember to bring the tooth with you!

Objects Caught Between Teeth

Try to gently remove the object with dental floss; avoid cutting the gums. Never use a sharp instrument to remove any object that is stuck between your teeth. If you can’t dislodge the object using dental floss, contact us.

Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss or an interdental cleaner to ensure that there is no food or other debris caught between the teeth. Never put aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching tooth because it may burn the gum tissue. If the pain persists, contact us.
