Our Commitment to Emergency Dental Care

We believe no one should have to endure dental pain or risk their oral health while waiting for an appointment. That’s why Ponce Dental Studio maintains a dedicated operatory specifically reserved for emergency patients, ensuring we can provide prompt treatment when you need it most.

Whether you’re an existing patient or someone without a dental home seeking urgent care, our doors are open to provide immediate relief and expert treatment. Our facility is equipped with advanced technology and staffed by experienced dentists ready to address your emergency dental needs with compassion and skill.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Severe Toothache and Dental Infections

Intense, persistent tooth pain often signals infection or advanced decay that requires immediate attention. If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling in your face or gums, or fever, these symptoms may indicate an abscess or serious infection that could pose significant health risks if left untreated. Rather than heading to the emergency room, call our office for prompt care that addresses the source of the problem.

Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth

Dental trauma from accidents, sports injuries, or even biting down on hard foods can result in broken, chipped, or cracked teeth that require emergency treatment. Beyond the cosmetic concerns, damaged teeth are vulnerable to infection and further deterioration. Our emergency dentists can provide immediate treatment to relieve pain, prevent infection, and preserve your tooth structure.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Few dental emergencies are as time-sensitive as a knocked-out tooth (avulsion). If this happens, carefully rinse the tooth with warm water without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not possible, place it in milk or saliva and call our office immediately. With prompt treatment—ideally within an hour—we may be able to save and reimplant your natural tooth.

Lost Fillings, Crowns, or Other Restorations

When fillings, crowns, veneers, or bridges become loose or fall out, they leave vulnerable tooth structure exposed and can cause significant discomfort. While not always as urgent as other emergencies, these situations should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage or infection. Our team can often provide same-day reattachment or temporary solutions until permanent restoration.

We're Here for You When You Need Us Most

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

 

  1. Call our office immediately at (404) 777-4040. Our team will provide guidance based on your specific situation and arrange for you to come in as soon as possible.

  2. For a knocked-out tooth: Handle it carefully by the crown (not the root), rinse gently without scrubbing, and keep it moist in milk, saliva, or a tooth preservation product if available.

  3. For pain and swelling: Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed (avoid aspirin for bleeding injuries) and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek in 20-minute intervals.

  4. For bleeding: Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze or a tea bag for about 15-20 minutes.

  5. For broken restorations: If possible, save the crown or filling and bring it to your appointment.
