We treat various dental emergencies, including:

  • Severe, persistent toothaches or any type of tooth pain
  • Lost dental restorations, such as fillings or crowns
  • Damage to the soft tissues of the mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, lips and gums
  • Cracked, fractured, chipped or broken teeth

It is crucial to seek prompt treatment for dental emergencies to prevent further complications. When you contact us with a dental emergency, our team will provide you with immediate advice on how to manage your condition until you can reach our office. For instance, if you have a knocked-out tooth, we recommend gently rinsing it with water, avoiding touching the root and trying to place it back into its socket or keeping it moist in milk until you arrive.

If your injury involves head or neck trauma, or if you believe it may be life-threatening, please call 911, visit the emergency room or consult your general physician before seeking dental care. This ensures your overall health and safety while addressing any dental issues that may also be present.

Our goal is to alleviate your pain and restore your oral health as quickly as possible. We understand the stress and discomfort that dental emergencies can cause, and we are committed to providing compassionate, efficient care to help you get back to your daily routine.

FAQ

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

▾

A dental emergency includes severe toothaches, lost restorations (fillings or crowns), damage to the mouth’s soft tissues, cracked, chipped or broken teeth, and knocked-out teeth. If you experience any of these issues, contact us immediately. Prompt treatment can prevent further complications and alleviate pain. In cases of head or neck trauma, visit an emergency room first.

How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?

▾

We strive to see patients with dental emergencies on the same day they contact us. Call our office as soon as you experience an emergency, and our team will prioritize your appointment. Our goal is to provide prompt care to address your urgent needs and help you find relief from pain and discomfort as quickly as possible.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

▾

If you knock out a tooth, handle it by the crown, avoiding the root. Rinse it gently with water and try to place it back in its socket. If this is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and contact us immediately. Quick action increases the chances of saving the tooth and restoring your smile.

How can I manage pain before my emergency appointment?

▾

For temporary pain relief before your appointment, rinse your mouth with warm salt water, use a cold compress on the affected area, and take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen.
