Not every dental problem is obvious. Many patients search for a dental emergency near you because they’re unsure how serious their symptoms are — but the pain feels urgent. If your symptoms feel urgent, same-day emergency care is available at our Greenville office.
These issues rarely resolve on their own. Infections can spread beyond the mouth if untreated.
At Todays Dental Greenville, we offer prompt diagnosis and same-day emergency care when possible. Don’t wait for the pain to worsen — schedule an emergency appointment today.
Treat it as an emergency if you have sudden tooth pain or pressure, trauma from an accident or sports injury, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling or fever from an infection, or a gum abscess. Symptoms that feel urgent usually are. These problems rarely resolve on their own, and infections can spread beyond the mouth.
Prompt treatment reduces pain immediately, prevents infection from spreading, improves the chance of saving the natural tooth, and generally lowers overall treatment costs. The longer an infection or fracture is left alone, the more tissue becomes involved and the more extensive the eventual repair becomes. Waiting rarely makes a dental emergency simpler.
Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root, and rinse it gently with water if it is dirty. If possible, place it back into the socket. Otherwise keep it in milk or saliva. Get to a dentist immediately, because the chance of successfully replanting the tooth drops sharply with every passing minute.
Yes. A dental infection can extend beyond the tooth into the jaw, the sinuses, the tissues of the face and neck, and in serious cases the bloodstream. Fever, spreading facial swelling, or difficulty swallowing are warning signs that the infection is progressing and needs urgent attention rather than watchful waiting at home.
