Who Is Emergency Dental Care For?

Emergency dental care is all about addressing urgent dental issues that can’t wait for a regular appointment. Our emergency dental care is for anyone experiencing sudden, severe dental pain, injury, or discomfort that can’t wait for a regular appointment. It’s also for those unexpected moments—like a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or a lost filling—that need immediate attention. If it’s causing you pain or concern, we’re here to help.

FAQs

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and any situation causing significant pain or swelling. If you’re unsure, give us a call—we’re happy to help you figure it out.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Stay calm and act quickly! Rinse the tooth gently with water, avoid touching the root, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in a container of milk or saliva and get to us right away—time is critical in saving the tooth!

Can I wait until morning for a toothache?

If your toothache is severe and keeping you up at night, it’s best to seek emergency care. Pain like that often signals a more serious issue that shouldn’t wait.

How can I prevent dental emergencies?

Regular check-ups, good oral hygiene, and wearing a mouthguard during sports can all help prevent dental emergencies. But if one happens, we’re here to help!

What if I’m nervous about treatment?

We totally get it. Dental emergencies can be scary, but we’re pros at keeping you calm and comfortable. If you’re really anxious, ask us about sedation options to make your visit easier.
