Emergency Dentistry

Even if you’re a cautious person, dental emergencies can occur. At Beechwood Dental, our patient Clarksville emergency dentists set aside for patients with sudden tooth pain, trauma, and other urgent dental care needs. Some emergency dental issues that require immediate attention include:

• Severe toothaches: Are you experiencing lingering tooth pain that cannot be relieved by over-the-counter pain medications? Discomfort is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong, which can be a sign of an infection or abscess. Prompt treatment can prevent the need for an emergency tooth extraction.
• Uncontrollable bleeding: If you accidentally cut your mouth or experience a collision that leaves your mouth bleeding, place clean gauze and light pressure on the wound to control bleeding. If the bleeding does not subside within 30 minutes, we strongly suggest seeking emergency dental services, calling our office, and asking someone to drive you to our Clarksville emergency dental clinic.
• Loose teeth: While it’s normal for young children’s teeth to loosen as their permanent teeth emerge, adult teeth should never feel loose. Whether you’ve experienced a recent fall, suffer from advanced periodontal disease, or have developed a bad habit of habitually grinding your teeth, loose adult teeth signify that you should visit our Clarksville emergency dentists as soon as possible.
• Broken or dislodged teeth: Whether a piece of your tooth or the entire thing has fallen out of your mouth, take the proper steps to preserve it. Cleaning and preserving the tooth in water (or a glass of milk) is essential. Also, address any swelling or discomfort with a cold compress and over-the-counter pain medication before meeting with our Clarksville emergency dentists.
• Broken, loose, or knocked out dental appliance: Our dentists can fix damaged dental crowns, bridges, and other restorative dental appliances if they do not fit properly or are knocked out of place.
