Emergency
Dental emergencies can't wait
When a dental emergency strikes, every minute counts. We offer same-day emergency appointments and after-hours telephone support for established patients.
Common Emergencies
When to call us
Severe Toothache
Persistent, throbbing pain that doesn't respond to over-the-counter pain relievers. This can indicate an infection, abscess, or nerve damage that requires immediate attention.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical — a knocked-out tooth can often be saved if treated within 30 minutes. Handle the tooth by the crown, keep it moist, and come in immediately.
Broken or Fractured Tooth
Cracks and fractures can expose the nerve and lead to infection. Rinse with warm water, apply a cold compress, and contact us right away.
Lost Crown or Filling
A missing restoration leaves the tooth vulnerable to bacteria and sensitivity. Avoid chewing on that side and bring the crown with you if possible.
Abscess or Swelling
Facial swelling, fever, or a visible bump on the gums can indicate a serious infection that requires drainage and antibiotics.
Soft Tissue Injury
Deep cuts to the lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums may require professional treatment. Apply gentle pressure and seek immediate care.
