Our Emergency Dental Services

Emergency dentistry isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Dental emergencies come in a range of forms, each requiring a different approach to treatment. At Lemmons Dental Associates, we proudly provide Charlotte residents with a variety of emergency services, including:

• Severe Toothache Relief—Lemmons Dental Associates has vast experience examining and treating severe toothaches, which are an issue we commonly see during emergency care. We’ll investigate the cause of your pain, then treat the underlying problem.
• Severe Gum Pain Relief—Sore gums can indicate gum disease, an abscess, or other oral issues that can weaken the gums and cause loose teeth. If you’re looking to have gum pain or discomfort relieved, contact Lemmons Dental Associates to schedule an emergency appointment. We will identify and treat the source of your pain.
• Jaw Pain/Swelling Relief—Swelling or pain in the jaw could point to a significant issue, such as infection or injury. The emergency dentists at Lemmons Dental Associates will perform an examination to find the source of your jaw pain, so it can be effectively treated.
• Filling Repair/Replacement—Dental fillings protect the interior structure of your tooth from infection and decay. Unfortunately, older fillings can be lost or become damaged. When this occurs, don’t wait to schedule an emergency appointment with Lemmons Dental Associates. Once the filling has been repaired or replaced, your tooth will no longer be vulnerable to infections, decay, and similar dental issues.
• Crown Repair/Replacement—Crown repair or replacement is necessary when dental crowns are damaged or lost. When they’re intact, crowns provide a smooth chewing surface for the teeth; but when they’re damaged, they expose the remaining natural tooth to infection and potential injury. Contact Lemmons Dental Associates for crown repair and replacement in Charlotte.
• Emergency Extractions—A severely damaged tooth is at risk for advanced infection and decay. Worse, it places the rest of your teeth at risk, as well. Emergency extraction is sometimes the safest route to prevent the spread of infection and relieve pain. Lemmons Dental Associates performs extractions in select instances of advanced decay.
• Emergency Root Canals—A root canal can eliminate existing infection and address the cause of your oral pain. Root canal therapy can also help to save your existing tooth. If possible, we’ll perform root canal therapy to stop the spread of advanced tooth decay without resorting to extraction.
• Emergency Repair Services—If an accident leads to tooth damage, the emergency dentists at Lemmons Dental Associates may be able to correct it and preserve your bite. We can often repair cracked, broken, chipped, or even knocked out teeth.

Lemmons Dental wants each of our patients to relax and remain comfortable while we provide them with care. We offer I.V. sedation for our patients who prefer to relax during their emergency dental procedure. If you would like to receive I.V. sedation during your emergency procedure, don’t hesitate to ask.

Are Dental Emergencies Preventable?

The simple answer is that, yes, some dental emergencies are preventable. On occasion, of course, a serious dental problem can’t be avoided, even when the patient takes important precautions—especially in cases of oral trauma. Other times, however, prevention can be an effective way to avoid dental emergencies.

Build healthy habits regarding how you care for your teeth on a day-to-day basis, including brushing and flossing after meals. Similarly, schedule an appointment with Dr. Lemmons and Lemmons Dental Associates every six months for a routine checkup. When you receive regular cleanings with a dentist, it’s possible for dental problems to be caught and treated before they become emergencies.

High-impact and high-risk activities, such as contact sports, can also put teeth at risk. If you choose to participate, take key precautions to protect your teeth, like investing in a custom-fit mouth guard. Should you receive a blow to the face, jaw, or mouth, having a guard in place can protect your teeth from serious damage.
