Emergency Dentistry in Spring Hill, TN

Not every dental issue requires immediate attention, but some situations demand urgent care. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe Toothache: Persistent, intense pain that doesn't respond to over-the-counter medication.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: A tooth that has been completely dislodged — time is critical for reimplantation.
• Cracked or Broken Tooth: A fracture that exposes the inner tooth structure or causes significant pain.
• Lost Filling or Crown: A missing restoration that leaves the tooth vulnerable to further damage or infection.
• Dental Abscess: A painful, swollen infection at the root of a tooth or in the gums that requires immediate treatment.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Lacerations or puncture wounds to the gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Smile Hills Dental at <a href="tel:+19314510144" class="phone-link">(931) 451-0144</a> immediately. Early intervention can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

While you're on your way to our office, here are steps you can take to manage common dental emergencies:

• Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, keep it in milk or saliva until you arrive.
• Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply gauze to any bleeding area, and use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Lost Crown: If possible, slip the crown back over the tooth using dental cement or toothpaste as a temporary adhesive.
