What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Explaining The Basics

Emergency dentistry focuses on treating oral injuries and severe oral health issues that require rapid care for the best outcome. Dr. Lindsey is an experienced emergency dentist in Athens, and the team at Limestone Pediatric Dentistry is here to help you get the care you need if your child has an unexpected dental emergency.

Common Dental Emergencies

Oral injuries caused by dental trauma are a common type of dental emergency. Kids may experience oral injuries due to horseplay, slips and falls, or sport injuries. This could include chipped, cracked, and damaged teeth, as well as major lacerations and cuts to the lips, or loose and knocked-out teeth.

However, other conditions can also count as emergencies, such as toothaches that may indicate a severe and serious tooth infection. If your child is experiencing a lot of pain, discomfort, or bleeding, contact us for an emergency consultation.

Common Emergency Procedures For Kids

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are usually the best way to repair severely decayed or broken teeth. We offer a wide variety of crowns including Hall stainless steel crowns and white strip crowns for baby teeth, as well as esthetic, white zirconia crowns.

Tooth Splinting

 Splinting is used when a permanent or adult tooth is loose or knocked out due to dental trauma. The tooth will be replaced in the proper position and then splinted to the nearby teeth, allowing it to heal and re-attach to the underlying structures.

 Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are usually only needed for severely damaged or decayed teeth, and we will always explore other options before recommending extractions. In some cases, however, an extraction may be the best way to relieve your child’s pain and restore their oral health.
