Emergency Dental Services We Offer

1. Root Canal Therapy - Prevent tooth extraction with root canal therapy. Ideal for teeth that are severely damaged or have repeated fillings/crowns, this treatment removes infection and preserves your natural tooth.
2. Toothache Evaluation - A persistent toothache is often a sign of a deeper problem. We diagnose the root cause and provide treatment to prevent worsening pain and potential complications.
3. Gum Pain & Discomfort - Gum issues can indicate infection or other dental concerns. Our team identifies the cause and provides targeted treatment to relieve pain and restore oral health.
4. Tooth Extractions - Severely damaged or decayed teeth may need to be removed to prevent infection. We perform extractions safely and painlessly, protecting surrounding teeth.
5. Crown or Filling Repairs - Lost or damaged crowns and fillings can cause immediate discomfort. Quick repair or replacement prevents further dental issues.
6. Knocked-Out, Chipped, or Broken Teeth - Accidents can dislodge or damage teeth. Immediate care can sometimes save a knocked-out tooth and prevent further complications.
7. Jaw Pain & Swelling - Jaw discomfort can indicate infection, tooth issues, or TMJ concerns. Our dentists diagnose the cause and provide permanent relief.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

• Maintain daily oral hygiene and brush twice a day.
• Schedule regular dental cleanings twice a year.
• Use a mouthguard for sports to prevent injuries.

FAQ

• Q: Will an emergency dentist pull a tooth?

  A: Yes. If a tooth is severely damaged, infected beyond repair, or poses a risk to nearby teeth, our emergency dentist may perform a same-day extraction. We always evaluate if the tooth can be saved first through a root canal or crown before recommending removal.

• Q: What to do if you have a dental emergency at night?

  A: If you experience a dental emergency at night, don't wait for morning—call our 24/7 emergency line at (877) 957-3086 to connect with our patient care team and schedule the earliest possible appointment. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain medication, apply a cold compress to ease swelling, and rinse gently with warm salt water. Avoid chewing on the affected side until your dentist can examine the area.

• Q: Can a dentist handle emergencies?

  A: Absolutely. Emergency dentists like those at Familia Dental Decatur are fully trained to handle urgent issues such as broken teeth, abscesses, severe pain, and knocked-out teeth. We have the tools, technology, and expertise to provide fast, effective care — day or night.

• Q: Can a dentist take a tooth out the same day?

  A: Yes — in most cases, we can remove a tooth the same day you visit, provided it's safe to do so. If there's significant infection or swelling, we may first prescribe medication to control inflammation before proceeding.

• Q: What will urgent care do for a tooth?

  A: Medical urgent care centers are not equipped for dental procedures. They can prescribe pain relievers or antibiotics for short-term relief, but you'll still need to visit a dentist for treatment such as fillings, root canals, or extractions.
