Emergency Dental Care Charlotte, NC

If you fall, sustain a sports injury, or get into an accident and end up with a missing tooth, call us right away. Try to retrieve your knocked-out tooth if at all possible and preserve it. If you can clean it off and then place it back in your mouth until you visit us, that is ideal. Otherwise, you can place it in a glass of milk or your own saliva. A cracked or broken tooth may not be possible to save, but one that has not sustained additional damage can possibly be restored.

A toothache should never be ignored, especially if it comes on suddenly and intensely. Severe tooth pain is a warning sign that there’s a major problem, such as a deep crack or infection. Your best course of action is to call Artistic Family Dentistry in Charlotte, NC right away. You will need a thorough examination to determine the source of the pain and an appropriate treatment plan to relieve it and restore your oral health.

Accidents happen. If a tooth gets injured in the process, you should call your Charlotte emergency dentist immediately. A large crack or chip in a tooth can not only be painful but also invite infection into your mouth. To prevent further damage and relieve your pain, you should schedule an emergency dental appointment at Artistic Family Dentistry, where Dr. Gina Davis will assess the damage and create a custom treatment plan to restore your tooth.

An abscess is a swollen area that is typically the result of an infection around the tooth root or the area between your teeth and gums. In severe cases, it can cause swelling in your face and jaw. Without treatment, the infection will spread to other parts of your mouth and body. At the first sign of an abscess, call your Charlotte emergency dentist at Artistic Family Dentistry. If you’re in pain, you can rinse your mouth with a mild salt-water solution (1/2 tsp of table salt dissolved in 8 oz. of water) several times a day until Dr. Gina Davis can examine your mouth to determine the proper treatment plan.
