If your denture, retainer, bridge, mouthguard, or other dental appliance breaks, avoid wearing or attempting to repair it yourself. Using a damaged appliance can cause further damage or discomfort. If there are any sharp edges, you can temporarily cover them with orthodontic wax and eat soft foods until your appointment. Contact Nashville Smile Creations as soon as possible so we can evaluate the damage and provide the appropriate repair or replacement.

No. Attempting to repair a broken dental appliance yourself can cause further damage and affect its fit and function. The safest option is to have it professionally evaluated. Contact Nashville Smile Creations, and our team will assess the damage and recommend the best repair or replacement solution.

Handle your dental appliances with care, avoid chewing hard or sticky foods, and clean them as directed. Regular dental checkups also help ensure your appliance fits properly and remains in good condition, reducing the risk of damage.

Dental injuries can happen unexpectedly due to sports accidents, falls, vehicle collisions, or other trauma. Whether you've suffered a knocked-out tooth, jaw injury, or cuts inside the mouth, seeking immediate dental care is essential to control bleeding, relieve pain, and improve the chances of saving damaged teeth.

At Nashville Smile Creations, we provide prompt emergency treatment for all types of dental trauma. After a thorough examination and digital X-rays, we'll recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include reimplanting a knocked-out tooth, stabilizing injured teeth, repairing soft tissue injuries, or other necessary procedures. Early treatment helps protect your smile and reduces the risk of long-term complications.

You should seek emergency dental care as soon as possible after any dental injury or oral trauma. Delaying treatment can lead to increased pain, infection, and permanent damage. At Nashville Smile Creations, we provide prompt emergency care to stop bleeding, relieve discomfort, and restore your smile. Contact us immediately to schedule an emergency appointment, or visit us during business hours for urgent treatment.

A damaged or missing filling leaves your tooth vulnerable to further problems. Without prompt treatment, you may experience:

• Tooth pain when chewing

• Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks

• Tooth decay and new cavities

• Infection that may require a root canal

• Food getting trapped between teeth

• Gum irritation or inflammation

• Persistent bad breath

• Increased risk of tooth damage or tooth loss

Repairing a broken filling as soon as possible helps protect your tooth and prevents more extensive treatment later.

At Nashville Smile Creations, we'll carefully examine your tooth and take digital X-rays if needed to assess the damage. If the filling can be repaired, we'll restore it using durable, tooth-colored material. For more extensive damage or decay, we may recommend replacing the entire filling to protect your tooth and restore its strength.

Treatment depends on the severity of the infection. At Nashville Smile Creations, we begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to determine the source of the abscess. Your treatment may include:

• Draining the infection to relieve pressure and pain.

• Prescribing antibiotics to control the infection.

• Performing a root canal to remove infected tissue and save the tooth.

• Placing a dental crown, if needed, to strengthen the treated tooth.

• Extracting the tooth if it cannot be restored.

Our goal is to eliminate the infection, relieve your discomfort, and restore your oral health as quickly as possible. Early treatment offers the best chance of saving your natural tooth and preventing further complications.

A tooth abscess can cause a range of symptoms, including:

• Severe, persistent tooth or gum pain

• Sensitivity to hot and cold foods or drinks

• Swelling in the face, jaw, or gums

• Redness or tenderness around the affected tooth

• Bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth

• Fever or swollen lymph nodes

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Nashville Smile Creations right away for prompt evaluation and treatment.

A tooth abscess is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Common causes include:

• Untreated cavities or tooth decay

• Advanced gum disease

• Cracked, chipped, or injured teeth

• Poor oral hygiene that allows bacteria to build up

Regular dental checkups and early treatment can help prevent an abscess from developing.

You can reduce your risk of developing a tooth abscess by:

• Brushing and flossing every day

• Scheduling regular dental exams and cleanings

• Limiting sugary foods and drinks

• Avoiding tobacco products

• Treating cavities and damaged teeth as early as possible

Good oral hygiene and preventive dental care are the best ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

A swollen jaw can result from several dental and medical conditions, including tooth infections, abscesses, dental injuries, or TMJ disorders. In some cases, viral infections may also cause jaw swelling. Because it can indicate a serious underlying problem, it's important to have jaw swelling evaluated by a dentist as soon as possible.

Yes. A swollen jaw can be a sign of a serious dental infection or other urgent condition. If you have severe pain, fever, difficulty swallowing, or trouble breathing, seek emergency dental care immediately. Prompt treatment can help prevent the infection from spreading and protect your overall health.

Treatment depends on the cause of the swelling. After a thorough examination and digital X-rays, your dentist will recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, draining an infection, root canal therapy, or tooth extraction. If the swelling is caused by an injury, treatment will focus on relieving pain and restoring proper jaw function.
