Transform your smile with comprehensive care that addresses multiple dental issues at once. And when a dental emergency happens, we’re ready with fast, reliable treatment.
A dental emergency can happen when you least expect it. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth from a sports injury, severe tooth pain that won’t subside, or a broken crown that needs immediate attention, these situations demand quick action. Knowing where to turn for emergency dental care in Buckhead can make all the difference between saving a tooth and losing it permanently.
At Ponce Dental Studio, we understand dental emergencies don’t follow a schedule. Our Buckhead location provides same-day emergency dental care when you need it most. With AI-driven diagnostics and an in-house lab that eliminates delays, we’re equipped to handle your urgent dental needs efficiently. Our team prioritizes your comfort while delivering the immediate care your situation requires.
Not every dental issue requires emergency treatment, but some situations do. Common dental emergencies include:
According to the American Dental Association, immediate care can often mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth. Dental emergencies involve severe pain, bleeding, infection, or trauma that could lead to tooth loss or serious health complications if left untreated.
Transform your smile with advanced cosmetic dentistry and flexible payment options for the treatment you deserve.
Time is critical when a tooth gets knocked out. The American Dental Association recommends keeping a knocked-out tooth moist at all times. If possible, replace the tooth in the socket without touching the root. If this isn’t possible, you can place it between your cheek and gums.
Contact your dentist right away for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Quick action within the first 30 minutes significantly increases the likelihood of successful reattachment. Gently rinse the tooth with water if it’s dirty, but avoid scrubbing or removing any attached tissue fragments. Never wrap a knocked-out tooth in tissue or let it dry out while seeking emergency care.
Severe tooth pain often signals a deeper problem requiring professional evaluation. An abscessed tooth occurs when bacteria enter the tooth’s pulp through decay, periodontal disease, or a crack, leading to infection and pus formation. This condition won’t resolve on its own and needs prompt treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.
While waiting for your emergency appointment, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can provide temporary relief, but they’re not a substitute for professional care. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the painful area, as this can damage gum tissue.
A broken or fractured tooth requires immediate attention, especially if you’re experiencing pain or if the break has exposed the tooth’s inner layers. When a tooth breaks, bacteria can enter through the damaged area and cause infection. Sharp edges from broken teeth can also cut your tongue, cheeks, or lips.
Our Buckhead location provides same-day care for broken tooth emergencies. If possible, save any pieces of the broken tooth and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply gauze to any bleeding areas and use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth to minimize swelling. We’ll assess the damage and determine whether you need a dental crown, bonding, or other restorative treatment.
Some situations clearly require immediate attention, while others can wait for a regular appointment. If you’re experiencing uncontrolled bleeding, severe pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter medication, swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, or trauma to your jaw or face, seek emergency care immediately.
Issues like a small chip without pain, a lost crown without discomfort, or mild sensitivity may not require emergency treatment, but should still be addressed within a few days. When in doubt, call our office at (404) 777-4040. Our team can assess your situation over the phone and determine whether you need immediate care or can schedule a standard appointment.
