Common dental emergencies.

If something hurts, is broken or looks swollen, call us and tell us what happened.

Toothaches

Sharp, throbbing or constant pain is a sign something needs attention. We find the cause and get you relief.

Broken or chipped teeth

We repair chips and breaks with bonding, fillings or crowns, depending on the damage.

Knocked-out tooth

Time matters. Keep the tooth moist in milk or in your cheek and call us right away.

Swelling or infection

A swollen face or gums can mean an infection. Call us right away. If swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow, go to the ER.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown if you have it, avoid chewing on that side and call us to get it fixed.

Broken dentures

We can often repair dentures quickly so you are not without your teeth for long.

Questions

Common questions

Do you see walk-in emergencies?

Yes, walk-ins are welcome during office hours (Tuesday to Thursday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM). Calling ahead helps us get ready for you.

What if my emergency happens when you are closed?

Call our office and follow the message for instructions. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, heavy bleeding or swelling that is spreading, go to the nearest emergency room.

Should I go to the ER for a toothache?

For most toothaches, a dentist is the right place. The ER is for swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious injury.

Do you take my insurance?

Call us and we will check your plan before your visit. If you do not have insurance, ask about our in-house plan and financing options.
