Common Dental Emergencies in Suwanee, GA

Dental emergencies can range from toothaches to knocked-out teeth. Some of the common emergencies we handle include:

Experiencing a severe toothache or sensitivity that causes sharp and persistent pain, especially when consuming hot or cold beverages and food.
Dealing with chipped or broken teeth due to accidents, falls, or biting down on hard objects, causes discomfort and potential damage to the tooth structure.
Facing the distressing situation of knocked-out teeth, where a tooth gets completely dislodged from its socket, requiring immediate dental attention.
Discovering lost fillings or crowns can expose the underlying tooth and lead to sensitivity, pain, and vulnerability to further damage.
Suffering from abscessed teeth, characterized by a painful infection at the root of a tooth, often accompanied by swelling, fever, and a persistent bad taste or odor in the mouth.
Enduring soft tissue injuries such as cuts, lacerations, or puncture wounds to the gums, lips, or inner cheeks can cause bleeding, pain, and potential infection.

When are extractions needed?

Sometimes, a tooth needs to be removed when it’s badly decayed, beyond repair, or posing a risk to your oral health. Conditions like severe gum disease, extensive decay, or overcrowding may also require extraction. In certain cases, a tooth might be extracted to prepare for orthodontic treatment. But don’t worry; Dr. George will always consider all possible options before suggesting extraction.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are often extracted if they’re impacted, causing discomfort or threatening the health of neighboring teeth.
At Smile Haven, we provide expert wisdom teeth extraction services to protect your oral health. Dr. Jina George will carefully evaluate your wisdom teeth and recommend the best course of action for your unique situation.

Alternative to tooth extraction
While extraction is sometimes the best option, alternatives may be considered if the tooth can be saved. These may include root canal therapy and crowns. We always weigh all options and discuss them with you before making a decision.

When to Seek Emergency Dental Treatment

It’s crucial to seek immediate dental attention if you experience severe pain, bleeding, loose or knocked-out teeth, swelling in the mouth or face, or bulges in your gums. These symptoms could indicate a serious condition that requires prompt treatment to prevent further damage and complications.

What to Do Until You Get to Smile Haven

While you’re on your way to our office, here are some steps you can take to manage your situation.

Toothaches

Rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any lodged food. If swelling is present, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth.

Chipped/Broken teeth

Save any pieces you can. Apply gauze to any bleeding areas. Visit us immediately to have the tooth professionally repaired.

Knocked-out tooth

Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it without scrubbing, and if possible, try to place it back into its socket. If not, keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation product and see us immediately.
