Emergency Dentistry
Easley, SC

If you're experiencing pain or have concerns about a dental issue, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'll assess your situation to determine if emergency care is necessary. Dental emergencies may include toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or fractured teeth, lost fillings or crowns, bleeding gums, or abscesses.

Having a toothache or encountering a dental problem doesn't automatically indicate the need for extraction. We'll perform a comprehensive assessment to ascertain if the issue can be addressed through treatments such as fillings, crowns, or root canals. Should extraction be deemed necessary, we'll guide you through the process and establish a tailored plan for your ongoing care.

A toothache might alleviate temporarily, particularly if it stems from a minor irritation. Yet, if the root cause, such as decay or infection, remains untreated, the discomfort is prone to resurface and potentially intensify over time. We strongly advise seeking assistance promptly in most cases.

Indications of a tooth infection encompass continual and pulsating tooth pain, increased sensitivity to hot or cold stimuli, facial or gum swelling, and the appearance of a pimple-like swelling on the gum adjacent to the affected tooth. Neglecting treatment may result in fever, unpleasant taste in the mouth, and potentially severe complications. Urgent dental attention is crucial when experiencing these symptoms.

A broken or fractured tooth, regardless of severity, is typically regarded as a significant concern. Even minor fractures may expose the sensitive inner layers of the tooth, resulting in discomfort and increased susceptibility to infection. Delaying treatment can exacerbate the situation, potentially leading to additional damage and complications, underscoring the importance of prompt dental care.

If you knock out a tooth, it's imperative to seek dental care without delay. Time is of the essence for a successful reimplantation, as a dentist can evaluate the tooth's condition, ensure proper cleaning, and attempt to reinsert it into the socket. Even if reinsertion isn't feasible, the dentist can offer guidance on further steps to maintain your oral health and appearance.
