Same-Day Emergency Dental Care in Longs, SC

Chipped Tooth - If you have a chipped tooth, as long as there is no bleeding, the first thing you should do is call your dentist at Carolina Dental Care. Then ensure your existing tooth is clean, wiping away any debris or dirt that may have transferred to the chipped area. If you can locate all the chipped pieces, make sure they are clean as well and bring them to your emergency dentist appointment. The dentists at Carolina Dental Care will do their best to repair your chipped tooth with the existing pieces. If this is not possible, there are cosmetic dentistry options our team can utilize, including veneers to mask the chipped tooth.

Knocked-Out Tooth-Sometimes we lose a tooth, even as an adult. If one of your permanent teeth gets knocked out, don’t panic! Call Carolina Dental Care for an emergency dental appointment and in the meantime:

• Don’t touch the root. Only handle your tooth by the crown or chewing area
• Don’t use soap or chemicals to clean off your tooth
• Do wipe your tooth clean of any dirt and debris
• Do keep your tooth in a cup of saliva or milk to ensure it doesn’t’ dry out

Temporary Crown is Missing-When you have a temporary dental crown placed, there is a risk that it can become dislodged. If you feel your temporary crown come loose, take special care not to swallow it. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to clear the area of any debris and then call your dentist at Carolina Dental Care to have your dental crown cemented professionally. Our general dentistry practice offers same-day emergency dental care and can permanently re-attach your dislodged dental crown. DO NOT attempt to attach your loose crown with superglue or another adhesive.

Abcess - An abscess is a serious infection that can begin in your tooth or gums and can quickly spread to the rest of your body. If you are experiencing sudden tooth or gum pain call Carolina Dental Care immediately and request a same-day emergency dental appointment. All of our dentists have the experience to diagnose and treat an abscess before it spreads and becomes a serious, or even fatal, health issue.
