Dental Emergency FAQs
I just knocked out one of my teeth! What should I do?
First, you should call your emergency dentist in Upper Arlington at the Artistry Smile Center. It’s the quickest way to get the care that you need. Try to find the tooth and place it back into your mouth. If you can’t, be sure to keep it wet in a container of milk or saltwater until you can see us.
What is causing my severe toothache?
A constant throbbing or shooting pain in a tooth usually indicates that the sensitive nerve has been damaged. You should call us immediately! The longer you wait, the worse the pain will be, and we may even need to extract the tooth. If you get to us soon enough, we’ll be able to relieve your pain and save your smile.
Should I ever call 911 for a dental emergency?
Most of the time, no. Many hospitals/clinics will not have the personnel or equipment to handle emergency dental care. You’ll only be able to find those at a dental practice like the Artistry Smile Center. However, if you have injuries to other parts of your body that need immediate attention, be sure to head straight to your local emergency room first. After you are stable, you should still call us.
