Emergency Dentistry
We feel it’s important to care for our patients whenever emergencies come up. For that reason, we offer emergency dentistry to our existing patients. When an emergency arises, please call our office so we can fit you in at the first possible moment.
No matter what emergency you experience, our priority is relieving your pain and ensuring that no further damage is caused to your smile. Once we accomplish these goals, we can look at the treatment you might need to fully address any dental health issues.
Emergencies We Can Help With
What constitutes a dental emergency? Any of the following:
✔ Bad toothaches
✔ Painful swellings in gums or jaw
✔ Knocked-out tooth
✔ Loosened tooth
✔ Lost fillings or crowns
✔ Chipped or fractured teeth
How to Deal With an Emergency
If you experience these emergencies at night or on the weekend, a salt water rinse or over-the-counter pain reliever may help with swelling and pain. Be sure to save any available pieces of a chipped or broken tooth and bring them to our office.
If you can replace a dislodged tooth in its socket immediately after it has been knocked out, that will give it a chance of staying alive. Call us immediately.
During our office hours, please call as soon you need emergency care.
