Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Murfreesboro?
In many cases, yes. We make every effort to accommodate patients who need same-day emergency dental care. Call our office as soon as you find yourself in an emergency situation so we can discuss your symptoms and determine the best time for you to be seen.
Should I go to the emergency room or call an emergency dentist?
For most dental-related problems, a dentist’s office is the best place to receive treatment. However, we recommend going to the emergency room if you have severe facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or another potentially life-threatening concern. For urgent tooth pain, broken teeth, infections, and similar problems, call your Murfreesboro emergency dentist.
Can a broken tooth be repaired the same day?
Depending on the extent of the damage, a broken tooth may be repaired during the same visit. Treatment could include bonding, a filling, a crown, or another restorative procedure. We will examine the tooth and explain your options.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If possible, gently rinse it without scrubbing and try to place it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and contact our office immediately. Quick treatment may improve the chances of saving the tooth.
Can sedation be used during an emergency dental visit?
Sedation may be an option for some emergency treatments, depending on your procedure and medical history. Ask our team about available sedation options when scheduling your emergency visit.
