Dental emergencies are stressful, inconvenient, and sometimes painful. They can also feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to do or who to ask for help. The good news is that Poff Dental Associates is here for you when you need us most.

Understanding Common Dental Emergencies

Here are some common dental emergencies we handle at Poff Dental Associates and what to do until you can see our dentists.

Toothaches

A severe and constant toothache is likely to indicate a tooth infection. Tooth infections don’t resolve without treatment, so contact our team.

Broken Teeth

A broken or chipped tooth may be sensitive and could cause further damage. Contact our team to assess whether it needs immediate attention.

Knocked-Out Teeth

The quicker we treat a dislodged tooth, the better our chances of saving it. Transport it carefully using milk or salvia or by placing it back in its socket.

Compromised Restorations

If you lose or break a dental filling or crown, it will need to be repaired or replaced to protect your tooth and dental health.

Bleeding Gums

If your gums or soft tissues are bleeding, it’s essential to have an exam. Bleeding gums could indicate gum disease.

You Can Prevent Dental Emergencies

dr justin poff working on a patient | emergency dentist bellevue tnWhile some tooth emergencies occur because of an accident or trauma, there are also some situations that you can prevent.

With consistent preventive teeth cleanings and checkups with your dentist every six months, you can proactively treat concerns before they become painful dental emergencies.

For example, if our dentists detect tooth decay early on, we can likely treat and eliminate the problem with a simple dental filling. If your decay goes unnoticed or untreated, it progresses further into the tooth until it reaches the nerve, causing a painful tooth infection requiring a more complex root canal.

Contact Your Nashville Emergency Dentist

If you or a loved one is experiencing a dental emergency, or it’s time to protect your smile and book your next preventive teeth cleaning and exam, contact your team at Poff Dental Associates to book an appointment.

We proudly serve the smiles of Nashville, Bellevue, Franklin, Brentwood, and West Nashville.

I had an emergency crown situation, and they scheduled me within a day of my call.

So far I’ve had a great experience with this practice. I had an emergency crown situation, and they scheduled me within a day of my call. Tammy, who runs the front office is a gem - very friendly, knowledgeable and kind and helpful. Brenda and Dr. Alwan saw me promptly and was able to do an extraction the same day. I feel like he was skilled and experienced in the surgery and it was done very quickly.
