Emergency Dentist and Dental Care when you need it

Severe tooth pain? Knocked-out tooth? Your dental crown fell out? At Sequoyah Dental Arts, we know that few things can stop your life in its tracks, like a dental emergency. That’s why we provide emergency dentistry services to patients in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the surrounding communities to get you out of pain and back to your everyday life as quickly as possible. 

What constitutes a dental emergency?

Life is always full of surprises, and oral health problems always seem to strike at inopportune times. Many patients hesitate to call the dentist when they are experiencing problems with their teeth or gums because they aren’t sure if it’s really an emergency. When in doubt, contact us! We can walk through your symptoms and provide you with instructions on how to take care of your oral health problem until you can come into the office. Some of the common dental emergencies that we treat include, among others:

• Loose or knocked-out teeth.
• Extremely painful toothaches that over-the-counter medications can’t offer relief from.
• Broken teeth.
• Pain or swelling in the mouth area.
• Infection in the gums or a tooth.
• Traumatic injury to the mouth.

Depending on your specific dental emergency, you may require a follow-up visit at a later date to perform more permanent repairs. For example, you can save a knocked-out tooth in many cases, but if that is not possible, we will talk with you about tooth replacement options so we can begin the process of replacing your missing tooth. Similarly, we can install a temporary crown or bonding to quickly restore the function and aesthetics of your teeth and then place a permanent restoration at a later date.
