Getting prompt care does more than ease the pain. It can protect your tooth, your health, and your wallet.

Fast Relief From Pain

Our first goal is always to get you comfortable and out of pain as quickly as possible when you come in.

A Better Chance to Save the Tooth

With many emergencies, acting quickly improves the odds of saving a tooth that might otherwise be lost.

Stop Infection From Spreading

Treating an infection or abscess early protects your surrounding teeth, gums, and overall health.

Prevent a Bigger, Costlier Problem

Addressing an emergency now is usually far simpler and less expensive than waiting until it becomes severe.

Expert Care, Not Guesswork

A hospital ER can help with severe swelling or trauma, but it usually cannot treat the tooth itself. For most dental emergencies, a dentist is the right place to go.

Calm, Reassuring Support

A dental emergency is stressful enough. We focus on keeping you calm and cared for from the moment you call.

EMERGENCY DENTISTRY FAQs

Emergency Dentistry FAQs

We believe in transparent, informed patient care. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most frequently from patients.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Common dental emergencies include severe or persistent tooth pain, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a broken or cracked tooth, swelling in the gums or face, bleeding that will not stop, or a lost filling or crown that is causing pain. When in doubt, call us and we will help you decide what to do next.

What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?

Act quickly. Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root, and gently rinse it if it is dirty. If you can, place it back in the socket or keep it in a small amount of milk or saliva. Then call us immediately, because the sooner you are seen, the better the chance of saving the tooth.

Can you see me the same day?

We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day during our office hours. Call as early as you can so we can fit you in and start easing your pain as soon as possible.

Should I go to the emergency room instead?

For most dental emergencies, a dentist is the right place to go, since hospital ERs typically cannot repair or treat the tooth itself. However, if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or rapidly spreading facial swelling, that is a medical emergency. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
