Emergency Dentist in Paducah, Reidland, Lone Oak KY

• Severe Tooth Pain: If you are experiencing an intense and persistent toothache, it is time to call an emergency dentist. This pain could be indicative of an underlying issue such as an abscessed tooth, cracked tooth, or a deep cavity.‍
• Knocked-Out Tooth: When a tooth is knocked out, it is important to act quickly. Rinse the tooth gently and try to reposition it in its socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk or saliva until you can get to our dental office. Time is of the essence in this situation, so don't delay.‍
• Broken or Chipped Tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can be both painful and aesthetically concerning. Contact our emergency dentists for a swift evaluation and repair to prevent further damage.‍
• Injuries to the Gums, Tongue, or Lips: If you've suffered injuries to your oral soft tissues that result in significant bleeding and do not stop within a short time, reach out to an emergency dentist for immediate assistance.‍
• Lost Dental Restorations: If a dental crown, filling, or other restoration comes loose, it's essential to get it repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Leaving a tooth without its restoration can lead to more significant problems.

While our emergency dentist in Paducah can handle many dental issues, there are situations where you should seek medical care first:

• Facial Trauma: If you've sustained a severe facial injury alongside dental issues, seek medical care immediately. Once your general health is stable, you can then visit an emergency dentist for oral care.
• ‍Jaw Fractures: Suspected jaw fractures require immediate medical attention at a hospital. Your dentist can provide follow-up care once the medical team has assessed and treated the fracture.
• ‍Uncontrolled Bleeding: If you experience uncontrolled bleeding that doesn't stop with pressure or after some time, head to the nearest emergency room for prompt medical attention.
• ‍Severe Infections: Severe oral infections can sometimes lead to systemic issues. If you have a high fever, difficulty breathing, or are feeling extremely ill along with dental pain, go to the emergency room for immediate medical care.
