Our Approach to Emergency Dental Care.

A dental emergency falls into a number of different categories:

  • Severely cracked, broken, or displaced tooth, typically occur due to traumatic injury to the tooth or area of the mouth
  • Injury affecting the gums
  • Abnormal pain that seems to be originating from a tooth, jaw, or area of the mouth
  • Swelling of an area in the mouth
  • Inability to open or close the mouth

The Dentist in Louisville is capable of handling any of the above dental emergencies, often during a same-day appointment. You should see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. Some emergencies, such as a knocked-out tooth, can be managed successfully if seen within 15-30 minutes but become much less successful as more time passes. Other emergencies, such as infection, can become so severe that we won’t be able to save the tooth if examination and diagnosis are delayed.

Extended Hours

We understand that emergencies happen at the least opportune moments. In an effort to be more available for your unexpected dental problems, we have evening hours on Mondays and Tuesdays, and early morning hours from Wednesday-Friday. On the weekends we do not have a regular schedule, so appointments on the weekends are case-dependent.

Judgment Free

If it has been too long since you have seen the dentist, have confidence in knowing we are a judgment-free office. We treat every patient with care and compassion.

Same-Day Care

At our practice, we understand that dental issues don’t always happen on a convenient schedule. That’s why we proudly offer same-day dentistry and make every effort to accommodate emergency appointments, even at the last minute. Whether you’re experiencing sudden pain, a broken tooth, or another urgent concern, our compassionate team is here to help you get the relief you need as quickly as possible. We reserve space in our schedule for unexpected situations because your comfort and well-being are our top priorities. If you’re facing a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to call—we’ll do everything we can to see you the same day.

Sometimes something bad happens to a tooth, but you aren’t sure if it is bad enough to be an emergency. Typically, the following problems are not a true emergency:

  • Chipped tooth
  • Minor sensitivity
  • Lost filling

If you have a problem like this, you should still give us a call. We will schedule an appointment to get it taken care of as soon as possible, although we can’t guarantee a same-day appointment for non-emergencies.

 

Some emergencies are unavoidable. However, we do have some recommendations to help you keep your teeth protected and healthy.

Use a mouth guard when playing contact sports.
Do not chew hard foods, candies, ice, or non-food objects (such as pencils).
See the dentist regularly, at least every six months. This allows us to find, discuss, and treat problems before they become emergencies. We like to be proactive rather than reactive to dental problems!

Over-the-counter pain medications such as Ibuprofen, Tylenol, and Naproxen are typically enough to dull the symptoms of pain. Before taking any medication, make sure it does not interfere or interact with any medical problems or other medications that you are currently taking.
