Emergency Dental Appointments

Sometimes teeth can cause acute symptoms which lead to pain. We can provide problem-focused exams to address your concerns and teeth issues.

When faced with a dental emergency, it’s crucial that you act quickly and know how to respond. Common emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, and injuries to your gums or soft tissues. If you experience intense pain, bleeding that won’t stop, or a tooth that has been knocked out, you should seek immediate dental care. For a knocked-out tooth, try to place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it moist in milk or saliva while you make your way to an emergency dentist. Remember, time is of the essence in these situations, and prompt action can often mean the difference between saving or losing a tooth.

In cases of less severe emergencies, such as a cracked tooth or a lost filling, you should still contact us as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. While waiting for professional care, you can take steps to manage pain and prevent further damage. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling and discomfort, and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to numb pain and control swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help manage discomfort. It’s wise to keep our emergency contact information readily available.
