Types of Dental Emergencies
Whether you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, have suffered a dental injury, or have another urgent condition, Dr. Danos and his dental team will provide fast relief to heal and preserve your smile. We work to treat emergency dental patients as soon as possible, treating dental emergencies like:
- Severe Toothache: Intense, persistent tooth pain can indicate a serious underlying issue, such as an infection or abscess.
- Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsed Tooth): Immediate action is crucial to saving a knocked-out tooth. Soak the tooth in water or milk, then call our emergency dentist immediately.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Fractured Tooth: Damaged teeth can cause pain, sensitivity, and affect your bite
- Lost Dental Filling or Crown: Lost or damaged restorations can expose the underlying tooth structure, often causing tooth pain and sensitivity. You should seek emergency treatment as soon as they break to avoid further damage or reinfection.
- Dental Abscess: A painful infection that can cause swelling and needs immediate treatment.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or lacerations to the gums, lips, or tongue can be treated quickly with Dr. Danos’ expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry in Murfreesboro
What should I do for severe tooth pain if I can't get to the dentist right away?
Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any food that might be stuck. Do not put aspirin on your tooth or gums, since it can burn your tissue. You can use a cold compress to help with swelling. These tips only help with pain for now, so be sure to call an emergency dentist as soon as you can.
Should I go to the ER or call an emergency dentist for a dental emergency?
Call an emergency dentist first for most issues, such as a bad toothache, a chipped tooth, or a lost filling. Go to the emergency room instead if you have facial swelling with a fever and can’t reach a dentist, or if you’re having trouble breathing or swallowing — these can signal an infection spreading beyond the tooth.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost without insurance?
Cost depends on the treatment needed — a simple exam and X-ray costs less than an emergency extraction, root canal, or abscess drainage. There’s no standard nationwide price for emergency dental care, so our dentist, Dr. Jaden Danos, can give you an estimate once he knows what’s needed.
Does dental insurance cover emergency treatment?
Most dental insurance plans cover at least part of the cost for emergency treatments like exams, X-rays, extractions, and root canals, because these are medically necessary. Coverage amounts and waiting periods are different for each plan, so check your benefits with your insurance company or ask Danos Dental’s front desk before your visit.
How do I know if my toothache is a real emergency or something that can wait?
Treat it as urgent if you have severe or throbbing pain, facial swelling, fever, or a knocked-out, cracked, or broken tooth — these need same-day attention. Milder, intermittent sensitivity without swelling can often wait for a regular appointment, but it’s still best to call your dentist to be sure.
