Tell us what's going on. We'll call you back fast.

Every problem below wants dealing with today rather than later in the week. Pain nothing will touch, infection spreading outward, bleeding that keeps going, and teeth knocked loose or broken all belong here, and swelling that reaches the face or neck cannot be left overnight.
The order in an urgent visit never changes: comfortable first, then a diagnosis in plain terms, then the cost, before any work begins.
Once the pain has gone, the tooth still needs a decision. Restorative treatment rebuilds what can be kept and replaces what has passed the point of keeping.
How much sound structure survived is what settles that question, and it does not improve while you wait.
Almost every emergency we treat began as something a routine appointment would have caught. Set against what they head off, exams and cleanings are the best value dentistry on the list.
Cosmetic and orthodontic treatment covers appearance and alignment. Decay and gum disease are handled first, because elective work over an untreated problem does not last.
Not sure which of these covers your problem?
Telling apart the dental problems in Shively, KY that need treating today from those that can wait until the next working day saves both money and a rough night. Pain that will not settle, an active infection, bleeding that continues, and teeth knocked out or broken all count as urgent.
Severe toothache, chipped and knocked out teeth, crowns and fillings that have failed, gum infections, abscesses, and injuries to the mouth make up most of what arrives. Swelling that crosses the face or moves toward the neck outranks everything else. What can usually wait a day is a painless lost filling, a small chip with no rough edge, or brief sensitivity to cold.
Shively traces back to a stagecoach shop that opened in 1831, not long after the first settlement at the Falls of the Ohio, and it incorporated as its own city with its own police and fire service. If a tooth gives out while you are on Dixie Highway, running errands near Crums Lane, or heading east on the Watterson, treatment the same day keeps the repair simple.
If that describes your morning, contact Emergency Dentists Louisville rather than waiting it out.

If any of that sounds like you, don't wait it out.

Call Now: 502-709-6108Yes. Urgent appointments are held open every day, evenings and weekends included, and Shively callers are usually seen within hours of phoning. Phone 502-709-6108 and we will book you a slot.
Yes. We treat patients from Shively and the west end around it, including Park DuValle, Cane Run, Lake Dreamland, and Sylvania, so nobody is crossing the city with a swollen jaw.
Where the schedule allows, yes, though calling first is always faster. A quick call means we can tell you when to arrive rather than leaving you sitting in a waiting room.
If you turn up in obvious distress with swelling or bleeding, you will be seen regardless.
The usual signs are a throbbing pain that does not ease, a bad taste, a tender lump on the gum, and pain when you bite on that tooth. The pain often builds when lying flat.
Facial swelling alongside any of that means the infection has left the tooth and needs draining the same day.
You do not need the right dental term before calling. Say what hurts and roughly when it began, and we will tell you whether it needs treating today.
