Dental emergencies don't follow a schedule, and Dr. Mitzi Morris's Roswell practice is equipped to handle urgent cases with the speed and skill they demand. Whether you're dealing with a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a lost crown, a broken restoration, or a dental abscess, the team prioritises emergency patients to minimise pain and prevent further damage. Acting quickly in a dental emergency — particularly with avulsed (knocked-out) teeth — dramatically improves the chances of a successful outcome.

Pick the tooth up by the crown (never the root), rinse it gently with milk or saline if dirty, and either place it back in the socket or keep it submerged in milk or between your cheek and gum to keep it moist. Call Dr. Morris's Roswell practice immediately — reimplantation success rates drop significantly after 60 minutes outside the mouth.
Severe, throbbing pain that doesn't subside, pain accompanied by swelling of the face or jaw, a tooth that has been physically broken or displaced, or any sign of a dental abscess (swelling, fever, foul taste) should all be treated as emergencies. Call the practice straight away — Dr. Morris's team will assess your symptoms over the phone and advise on the urgency of your appointment.
Yes — dental abscesses are treated as high-priority emergencies at the Roswell practice because untreated infections can spread rapidly. Dr. Morris will drain the abscess, prescribe appropriate antibiotics, and discuss the definitive treatment (typically root canal therapy or extraction) to eliminate the source of infection.
