A toothache that lasts more than 1-2 days could indicate an infected tooth, which is a very serious dental emergency that requires immediate treatment.
Dr. Schmitt will perform a focused exam to find out the source of your toothache, or the extent of any oral trauma you may have experienced.
Safe and effective, digital x-rays create crisp images of what’s going on beneath the surface of your teeth and gums, so we can get a complete picture of the state of your oral health.
If your dental emergency necessitates an extraction, you’ll receive a discount on the service, so you can get the relief you deserve.
First, call our office to schedule an appointment and tell us about the situation. We can schedule your appointment right away, and our dental team will tell you more about what to do to keep your mouth healthy until your appointment.
If you’ve lost a tooth, grab it by the top, then rinse it off and put it into a container of cold milk. If your tooth is broken, recover the fragments and put them into a container of cold milk. Lost dental work should be recovered, if possible, and put into a small plastic bag.
You can absorb blood with a piece of gauze, a clean cotton ball, or paper towels. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with pain. Icing the area may also help relieve your discomfort.
You can’t fix a dental emergency on your own. So no matter what’s wrong, make sure you come to our office to see Dr. Schmidt as soon as possible. At Titletown Dental, we can provide you with the care you need to restore your smile and relieve your pain.

Getting same-day, after-hours, or weekend care means you’ll resolve your dental emergency as quickly as possible. This is important for a lot of reasons. First, you’ll get relief from your pain and discomfort, and you’ll be able to go back to your normal daily routine.
You’ll also reduce your risk of further complications. Not only does this simplify your treatment, but it also saves you money. For example, if you get help for a painful tooth and get a root canal right away, this may save you from needing a tooth extraction and replacement with a dental implant. Replacing your tooth would be a much more complex, invasive, and costly treatment.
Sedation can be used to control an overactive gag-reflex, fear of needles, or a low-pain threshold.
