Emergency Dentistry (Same-Day)
Dental health is essential. Being proactive about your oral health and addressing any discomfort immediately is therefore critical. This is especially true for dental emergencies.
Dental emergencies can occur at any time of day and can be incredibly painful. If left untreated, some conditions that fall under the emergency dentistry category can become more uncomfortable or expensive problems in the future. Thus, you must know you have options when something goes wrong!
Emergency dentistry has treatments that specialize in addressing different issues. Some common problems include toothaches, chipped teeth, broken or damaged teeth, abscesses, gum or soft tissue injuries, and more. If you are experiencing one of these oral health issues and cannot wait to schedule an appointment with our regular dentist at Dental Images of Gwinnett, you can seek same-day emergency care.
A same-day emergency care option can be critical if you are experiencing tooth pain that is keeping you from sleeping at night or eating correctly. Even if your symptoms are mild, you should seek treatment immediately to prevent further complications. Waiting too long can result in the need for a root canal or an extraction. Same-day care can also be beneficial if you have knocked out a tooth or are dealing with severe oral trauma.

The Advantages of Same-Day Emergency Dentistry
Reduced Pain
When a traumatic injury, such as a lost filling or a broken tooth, many patients experience anxiety about seeing the dentist immediately. They know that a visit to the dentist means a painful experience without the ability to drive themselves home.
But at Dental Images of Gwinnett, we will make you as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Also, in treating your injuries or dental problems immediately, we help prevent further pain as we prevent the injury from worsening.
Severe Infections and Abscessed Teeth Are Quickly Treated
Same-day care is ideal for treating painful infections that often occur after an accident or injury. Patients may experience pain when pressure is placed on the damaged tissue and swelling that makes it difficult to open and close the mouth. A toothache that won’t go away is also a sign of an infection that needs immediate attention.
Many severe infections that are left untreated can result in tooth loss, bone degeneration, and even severe health problems. From tooth fractures to soft tissue injuries, there are many reasons to seek emergency dental treatment as soon as possible. Getting same-day emergency care not only gives immediate pain relief but also prevents the worsening of the injury.
If you have urgent dental needs that require immediate attention, our dentist can accommodate you the same day you call the office. For the best dental care tailored to your unique needs, visit Dental Images of Gwinnett at 916 Lawrenceville Hwy #201, Lawrenceville, GA 30046, or call (770) 746-7233.
