Emergency Dental Care and Exams

Severe pain or discomfort in the jaw, gums or teeth can often become unbearable. At Dr. Angela Dotson – Tatum Highlands Dentistry we offer same-day emergency dental services and appointments to provide immediate relief and long-term dental solutions!

If you are experiencing a dental emergency:

• Calmly assess jaw, lips, teeth & gums. Look for swelling, bleeding, broken bones, and altered teeth.
• Decide if you need to call the dentist. We recommend calling if: a tooth has been pushed back or fallen out, you or your child has bitten through the upper or lower lip or tongue.
• Decide if an Emergency Room visit is needed. We recommend going to the ER if: there is a broken bone or other significant injury.
• Monitor the situation from home. We recommend monitoring the situation from home if: your child is not bleeding, no major bruising or swelling has occurred, no teeth have been moved or no teeth are significantly mobile.
