What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry focuses on treating urgent dental issues that require immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or prevent further damage.
In these situations, delaying treatment can lead to more serious complications or even permanent damage. That’s why it’s crucial to seek help from an experienced emergency dentist as soon as possible.
Time is of the essence. Call us at 678.389.9000.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Here are a few first-aid tips you can do on your own before you arrive at our office:
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress. Avoid aspirin directly on the gums.
- Knocked-out tooth: Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try placing it back in the socket—or keep it in milk or saliva until you get to our office.
- Broken tooth: Gently rinse your mouth with warm water and save any tooth fragments. Use gauze for bleeding and a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Abscess: Seek treatment immediately from our dentist or one nearest you. This infection can spread quickly and may become life-threatening if ignored.
