Your emergency dentist in Knoxville, TN, wants to see you if you have tooth pain or a situation that puts your teeth and gums at risk.
Most dental emergencies are infection-related and require root canal therapy to resolve the pain and restore the tooth to health. Severe infections may require extraction followed by tooth replacement.
Issues that warrant a call to your emergency dentist include:
- Toothache or increasing tooth sensitivity
- Jaw or facial swelling
- A knocked-out tooth or restoration
- A broken tooth or restoration
- An oral injury
Sometimes, if a situation is minor, you can wait until the next appointment to see the dentist. For example, if you have a small tooth chip or loose prosthetic that is not causing pain or discomfort, you can often wait a few days to see the dentist. However, if there is pain, we want to see you as soon as possible.
If you can't determine whether your problem is an emergency, call one of our dental team members for a phone assessment.
