Our Emergency Dental Services

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, don’t wait. We provide a range of urgent care services to address the most common dental emergencies, including:

  • Severe Toothaches: Sudden or persistent tooth pain can be a sign of an infection or other underlying issue. We’ll diagnose the cause of your toothache and provide the necessary treatment to relieve your pain and protect your oral health.

  • Broken or Chipped Teeth: Accidents can happen, and a broken or chipped tooth can be both painful and alarming. We’ll assess the damage and provide the best treatment options to restore your tooth, whether it requires a filling, crown, or another solution.

  • Knocked-Out Teeth: If a tooth has been knocked out due to an accident or injury, quick action is crucial. In some cases, we may be able to save the tooth if you seek care immediately.

  • Lost or Damaged Fillings and Crowns: If a filling or crown becomes loose or falls out, it’s important to get it repaired quickly to avoid further damage or discomfort. We’ll replace or repair the restoration to protect your tooth.

  • Infections and Abscesses: Dental infections or abscesses can cause severe pain and pose serious health risks if left untreated. We provide prompt treatment to manage the infection and prevent complications.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

In the event of a dental emergency, it’s important to stay calm and take immediate action. Here are some quick steps you can follow while seeking emergency dental care:

  • For a knocked-out tooth: Gently rinse the tooth with water, being careful not to touch the root. If possible, try to place the tooth back into the socket and bite down gently to hold it in place. If this isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or holding it between your gums and cheek until you can get to the dentist.
  • For a toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid using painkillers directly on the gums as this can cause irritation.
  • For a broken or chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces of the tooth if possible and bring them with you to your appointment.
