When to Call an Emergency Dentist

Dental emergencies may not always be dramatic, but they often require immediate care to prevent further damage or pain. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, err on the side of caution and give us a call.

Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe toothache or persistent pain
  
  
• Broken or chipped tooth
  
  
• Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
  
  
• Lost or damaged filling, crown, or veneer
  
  
• Oral swelling or abscess
  
  
• Injuries from sports or accidents

For sports-related dental trauma, we also offer services like bonding and dental implants for long-term restoration.

Same-Day Emergency Appointments Available

We prioritize dental emergencies by offering same-day appointments whenever possible. Our team is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and a gentle approach to provide fast relief and effective solutions.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

If you or a loved one is experiencing a dental emergency, here are a few immediate steps you can take before arriving at our office:

• Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums.
  
  
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently if dirty, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not possible, place it in milk and seek care within 30 minutes.
  
  
• Chipped or Broken Tooth: Save any fragments. Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply gauze if bleeding.
  
  
• Lost Crown or Filling: Temporarily use dental wax or cement from the pharmacy and contact us for repair.

If the emergency involves swelling or fever, call immediately — it may indicate an infection that requires prompt attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
Emergency rooms are not equipped for dental procedures. If you’re in severe pain or have facial swelling, call our office first. We can assess the best course of action or refer you if necessary.

What should I do if I lose a crown or filling?
Do not chew on that side. Use temporary dental cement or sugar-free gum to protect the area until you visit us for a tooth-colored filling or crown repair.

Is swelling a dental emergency?
Yes. Swelling could indicate an infection or abscess and may require root canal treatment. Contact us immediately.

Do you treat children in dental emergencies?
Yes. We provide emergency dental care for patients of all ages and tailor treatments to ensure comfort and safety for younger patients.
