What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you’re not sure, give us a call—if something feels urgent to you, it matters to us.
Common dental emergencies we treat include:
- Severe toothaches or dental pain
- Knocked-out, broken, or chipped teeth
- Lost crowns, fillings, or dental bridges
- Abscesses or swollen gums
- Broken full or partial dentures
- Jaw pain, injury, or uncontrolled bleeding
We help with everything from minor accidents to more complex dental injuries. No problem is too small or too big—our goal is to help you feel better, fast.
What To Do in a Dental Emergency
- Call our office right away for immediate guidance and to book an emergency visit.
- For knocked-out teeth, gently rinse and keep the tooth moist (in milk or saliva), and bring it with you.
- Use a cold compress for swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed (avoid aspirin if you’re bleeding).
- Bring any lost fillings, crowns, or broken tooth pieces to your appointment.
Staying calm and acting quickly can make a big difference in saving teeth and reducing pain.
