If you have a dental emergency and need to see a dentist, the Atlanta Dental Group is committed to assisting anyone experiencing dental pain. Dr. Padolsky, a dentist with our group, as a child experienced toothaches and personally knows how dental pain can be horrible. We are committed to making sure that patients can see a dentist as soon as possible.

          There is nothing worse than being up all night with a toothache and not being able to see a dentist immediately! Because of this, we will fit new or established emergency patients into our schedule.

          If you have a dental emergency and would like to see a dentist, you can call 404-874-7428 and let the Appointment Manager know that you're in pain. Be sure to explain that you're having dental pain so that your appointment will be made a priority! Our dentists have put together some important information for you about several dental emergency topics. We have also included some dental links to further assist you in understanding and handling your dental pain.

          Dental pain is nature's way of telling you that there's a problem. You should see a dentist immediately because you might have a dental infection. If a dental infection is left untreated it may result in facial swelling and the need for the dentist to place you in a hospital.

          Consider calling your dentist. If you are an established patient, pain reducing and antibiotic medications can be called into a pharmacy for you until you can get in to the dental office to see the dentist.

          If you're not experiencing dental pain there's usually less of an immediate need to see a dentist right away. However, the problem with your filling may be due to an underlying painless cavity in your tooth. Delay in seeing a dentist may result in the decay growing and later need for a root canal to save this tooth.

          In this case you must go to a dentist immediately with the tooth that came out. Until you can get to a dentist you can place the tooth in your cheek or in a glass of milk. In many cases the dentist can place your tooth back into it's socket. However, you must see the dentist immediately to better the chances of this procedure working.
