Emergency Dentist Watauga
A Tooth in Trouble Doesn’t Wait for a Convenient Time
Some dental emergencies build slowly, like a toothache that has kept you awake. Others happen without warning, leaving you holding a loose crown or helping your child with a painful, wiggling tooth. None of that fits neatly into a scheduled appointment three weeks from now, and it doesn’t have to.
Dr. Bryan Carmichael and the team at Watauga Dental Center reserve time in the schedule for urgent dental needs. Call us and tell us what happened. We’ll let you know what to do next and arrange the earliest available visit.

Emergency Dentistry Frequently Asked Questions
Call Watauga Dental Center as soon as the problem begins. We try to reserve room in our schedule for urgent dental needs and will work to arrange a same-day visit when possible. Once we understand what happened, we can tell you what to do until you arrive.
If your concern can safely wait, fill out our online contact form. Our team will get in touch as soon as the office opens. If you need immediate care while we’re closed, contact your nearest emergency dentist. Go to the nearest emergency room if bleeding will not stop or facial swelling makes it difficult to breathe.
Coverage depends on your dental plan and the treatment your tooth needs. If time allows, contact your insurer to check your benefits. You can also give us your insurance information when you call, and our team will help you understand the available coverage.
A permanent tooth can sometimes be saved when it receives care quickly. That’s why it’s important that you call us immediately. If you cannot return your tooth to its socket, keep it in milk and bring it with you. Dr. Carmichael will examine it and give you an honest answer about its chances.
The cost depends on the care your tooth needs. Once Dr. Carmichael has examined the problem, he will explain the recommended treatment. Our team will review the expected cost before any care begins, giving you the information you need to decide your next step.
