A dental emergency is any issue that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. This can include conditions like a knocked-out tooth, a severe toothache, a dental abscess, or an injury to your gums or jaw. Seeking prompt care is crucial to prevent further complications and restore your oral health as quickly as possible.
Bolding Family Dentistry provides emergency dentistry in Columbia, TN. Call for urgent dental treatment.
Call our office right away and take these steps.
Do not touch the tooth root, but hold the tooth by the crown and gently rinse the tooth with water.
Place the tooth back into the socket as quickly as possible and bite down on clean gauze to hold it in place.
If the tooth cannot be placed in the socket, put the tooth in a small container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment.
Gently rinse the area with lukewarm water and place a cold compress on the face to reduce swelling. If you can locate the piece of the broken tooth, place the piece in milk, and bring it with you to the office. If more than half of the tooth is broken off, please call us immediately.
When a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected beyond repair, an extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. We perform extractions with a gentle touch, ensuring the area is fully numb to minimize discomfort.
This procedure is used to save a severely infected or inflamed tooth by removing the damaged pulp from within. Root canal therapy can relieve intense tooth pain and prevent the need for an extraction, preserving your natural smile.
If a tooth is cracked, broken, or lost, a crown or bridge can restore its function and appearance. We can provide temporary solutions during an emergency visit and plan for a permanent restoration to protect the tooth from further damage.
A dental abscess is a serious infection that can cause severe pain and swelling. We will drain the abscess to relieve pressure and prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection, preventing it from spreading.
We can repair chipped or broken teeth using dental bonding or other restorative methods. Prompt repair can prevent further damage, restore the tooth's appearance, and alleviate any associated sensitivity or pain.
