Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies don't wait, and neither do we. Our emergency dental team is available for same-day appointments to provide immediate relief and treatment.
Common Dental Emergencies
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, contact us immediately for emergency care.
Severe Toothache
Intense, persistent tooth pain that may indicate infection, decay, or nerve damage requiring immediate attention.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical! A knocked-out tooth can often be saved if treated within 30-60 minutes of the injury.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth from trauma or biting hard objects need prompt repair.
Lost Filling or Crown
When fillings or crowns come loose, the exposed tooth is vulnerable to damage and infection.
Dental Abscess
A painful infection at the tooth root or gum that can spread and become life-threatening if untreated.
Bleeding Gums
Excessive bleeding from the gums that doesn't stop may indicate serious periodontal disease or injury.
First Aid Tips
While waiting for your emergency appointment, here's what you can do:
For Toothache
Rinse with warm salt water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed.
For Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle by the crown only. Rinse gently without scrubbing. Try to reinsert or keep in milk. Get to us within 30 minutes!
For Broken Tooth
Save any broken pieces. Rinse mouth with warm water. Apply gauze to bleeding areas for 10 minutes.
For Lost Crown
Apply clove oil to sensitive area. Use denture adhesive or toothpaste to temporarily reattach crown if possible.
