What to Do in an Orthodontic Emergency

If you recently started orthodontic treatment or recently had an adjustment and you’re a little sore — that is NOT an emergency. In fact, real orthodontic emergencies are few and far between.

Our team of orthodontic assistants are only a phone call away. If you’re a patient of record and experiencing extreme pain, have a broken appliance, have had an accident that has damaged your mouth/teeth, or have wires poking into your cheeks we hope you will give us a call pronto. We’ll be happy to help get you comfortable again. A little advice over the phone might save you a trip to the office.

For emergencies call 931-551-5192.

Emergency line for after-hours care:

Monday – Thursday | 5 pm – 8 pm

Friday | 4 pm – 8 pm

Saturday – Sunday | 8 am – 8 pm

If your call is after 8 p.m. and this is a true emergency, please go to the nearest emergency room. 

Please be aware clinical assistants do not have access to the scheduling or financial information from the emergency phone.
