Pediatric Dental Emergencies
In Dunwoody

When your child is facing a dental crisis, time is of the essence. Immediate attention can make all the difference. Get in touch with us immediately to consult our experts and preserve that precious grin! Not sure if it's a dental emergency for your little one? Read on.

Why Should My Child Get Emergency Dental Care?

First off, immediate dental care can relieve your child's pain or discomfort. Issues like tooth pain, fractured teeth, and other oral issues can lead to severe discomfort disrupting their academics, extracurricular activities, and more. Getting professional help will alleviate their distress so they can get back to their regular schedule. You'll also prevent additional complications caused by leaving their condition untreated. Most importantly though, you'll find relief knowing your child's oral health is restored once more.

Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Robert is proudly certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. A voluntary achievement, becoming board-certified requires additional education and passing several rigorous exams. You can rest easy knowing your child's smile is in expert hands.

Problem-Focused Exams

When issues arise, our team can perform problem-focused exams (also known as limited exams) to help address the issues. Limited exams allow us to focus on what’s hurting or injured so we can get your kiddo out of pain fast.

The Benefits of Immediate Emergency Dental Care

Alleviation of Pain & Discomfort

A fractured tooth, a dislodged crown, or a throbbing toothache can lead to immense discomfort. The only solution to alleviate this pain is through professional dental care provided by an adept emergency dentist. After receiving treatment at our practice, your child can return to their daily activities without enduring pain or further distress.

Avoid Further Complications

Oftentimes, delaying medical help for your child can make their condition worse. For instance, if they have a tooth infection, early detection and intervention with a root canal or pulpotomy could potentially save the tooth. However, prolonged delays may result in irreversible damage to the infected tooth which might require extraction and pose serious health risks like sepsis - an extreme response to severe infection that can be life-threatening.

Save Time & Money

The quicker you seek emergency care, the more cost-effective your child’s treatment will be. For example; mending a broken tooth with a filling costs significantly less than restoring it it with a dental crown. If you consult with our dentist as soon as you notice any issue in your child's oral health, both time and money will be saved.

After Hours Emergency Line

Dental emergencies don’t always strike during regular business hours. That’s why we provide an after hours answering service so you can get the guidance you need for your child when you need it most.

Cutting-Edge Imaging

Better diagnostics means better results. With our state-of-the-art digital x-rays, along with digital panoramic x-rays, we can quickly and accurately assess the dental emergency and create a treatment plan right away.

Walk-in Appointments

During a dental emergency, everything can happen so fast. If you can’t get to a phone, or just need to get help right away, you can walk right into our office and get immediate care for your child.

The Emergency Dentistry Treatment Process

Call For An Appointment

The moment you realize your child is experiencing a dental emergency, don't hesitate to contact our office. We'll discuss the issue at hand, arrange an appointment with your dentist, (on the same-day if necessary), and provide guidance on managing the situation until your child's appointment time.

Emergency Exam

When you arrive at our practice, your child’s dentist will conduct a thorough examination of their oral condition. They will work to identify the root cause of the problem and determine the most suitable treatment for your child's specific needs.

Treating Your Child’s Condition

Every child and every dental emergency is unique. Some common emergency dental procedures include root canals, dental fillings, crowns, tooth extractions, and splints for dislodged or loose teeth. Rest assured that our dentist will ensure your child receives the care they need to get out of pain and restore their healthy smile.

Happy Patients, Happy Parents

Hear From Our Dental Family

Eryn

Everything about the patient & parent experience is enjoyable and easy! The office staff is wonderful with scheduling and flexible with moving appointments, they are extremely punctual, and Dr. Luke is wonderful with children. Can’t imagine a better dental experience for our child. This is the gold standard of healthcare experiences.

Teressa

Dr. Luke was amazing. My son was experiencing pain over the holiday weekend and Dr. Luke was able to fit us in same day as a new patient and he took the best care of my son. I am so happy to have found such a caring dentist. His staff was amazing and had activities for my other sons to be entertained. I look forward to future appointments because I know my babies are in the best hands with Dr. Luke.

Leigh-Ann

We had a lovely experience with Dr. Luke and the rest of the staff. Our daughter is neurodivergent and struggles with all of the stimulus that going to the dentist involves, but everyone was kind and warm and patient and it made for a no-drama visit. We couldn’t be happier!

Jaimie

We love this pediatric dentist!!We recently moved from out of state and needed a new ped dentist for our girls. Dr Luke and his entire staff is wonderful and we’re so glad we ended up here! My 3 year old had been to a dentist previously, but being her first visit to this office, everyone was so sweet and made her experience a memorable one (she was talking about it for weeks!)They have a separate room for little ones which was also nice. My 18 month old had never been to the dentist so it was a great first experience for her (and me!) Overall, couldn’t recommend Dr Luke and this practice more!

Coleen

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Luke for years and I couldn’t be happier that he’s taken over the practice upon Dr. Scott’s retirement. My kids grew up seeing Dr. Scott and she set a very high standard. Dr. Luke is the perfect fit to carry on her legacy of impeccable dental care for children. He’s got such a positive, easy going personality that puts kids at ease immediately. He’s a great addition to Dunwoody!

Christine Scott, DDS

I am honored and proud that Dr. Luke Robert is my successor at Dunwoody Pediatric Dentistry. He is an excellent pediatric dentist and more importantly he is a wonderful young man. I know that all our patients are in great hands and will receive excellent care with Dr. Luke.

Shweta

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Luke for my 6-year-old daughter’s dental visit. Dr. Luke was incredibly patient, gentle, and made sure to explain everything in a way that was easy for my daughter to understand. He took the time to ease my nervousness and made the entire visit stress-free for me more than my daughter. 😀

The office is kid-friendly, with fun decorations and a relaxing atmosphere. My daughter left with a big smile, and she’s now excited about going back for her next check-up! I highly recommend Dr. Luke to any parents looking for a caring, professional dentist for their children.

Rebecca

Very, kid-friendly, kid-centric office and office staff. Dr. Luke is fantastic and let’s the kids develop a comfort level all on their own. He has thoughtfully created a family/baby/toddler room where mamas of young ones can go in with their kiddos and take the time they need to come around to warming up to having their teeth looked at by the dentist. Would highly recommend Dr.Luke to anyone with children!! We won’t be going anywhere else.

Alexi

Dr. Robert and his staff were absolutely wonderful with our girls ages 6 and 4! Very personable, swift, but still thorough in their cleaning and X-rays. Dr. Robert also set up a great play area for my 14-month old to play in while the girls got their teeth cleaned which was super helpful! Very happy with our dentist experience!

Jenna

Great service, and excellent tips on how to keep your smile bright!

Bayleigh

We have taken my daughter to see Dr. Luke Robert twice and have had such fantastic experiences. He was the first dentist my three year old saw and she had the best time. She's always asking if she can go see Dr. Luke! Dr. Luke and his staff were so kind and informative and were happy to answer any questions or concerns I had. We recommend Dunwoody Pediatric Dentistry to any of our friends who are looking for a dentist.
