Emergency Dentistry
Dental issues don’t just happen when it’s convenient. The nature of an emergency is unexpected and urgent. So, at Middle Tennessee Prosthodontics, we realize that you may need dental assistance outside of routine, scheduled appointments.
To assist our patients with sudden dental problems, we offer emergency dentistry at our Brentwood office. When you have a dental emergency, give us a call right away. We will get you into the schedule on the same day if possible.

What Is a Dental Emergency?
While there is no single definition for a dental emergency, any situation that involves tooth or mouth trauma could call for emergency dentistry services. If you are in severe pain or have a mouth injury, contact our office for an appointment or for guidance on next steps. It’s better to err on the side of caution and call a dentist for professional advice.
Some of the most common dental emergencies include:
There are also dental problems that require care within a week or so but you can’t wait to make an appointment; you don’t need to receive same-day treatment. While you should still give us a call, you have longer to receive care before it becomes serious. Some situations that usually aren’t a dental emergency include:
If you suspect you have a broken bone or if you are bleeding a lot, call emergency services right away. Our doctors can help restore your teeth after the more severe health concerns have been treated by a medical professional.
Compassionate Care for Every Patient
Dr.s McLaughlin, Miller, Patel, and Peterman and the entire team at Middle Tennessee Prosthodontics know that dental emergencies are difficult to deal with and that you may feel stressed. We strive to help any patient with a dental emergency. We want you to feel respected and listened to and will take your concerns and pain seriously.
We also provide sedation dentistry, including laughing gas, to help you relax for your treatment in emergency situations.
If for some reason we can’t treat your dental emergency, we will refer you to someone who can or instruct you to call someone for immediate medical assistance.
