Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat:
- Severe Tooth Pain or Swelling: Sudden or intense pain can often indicate an underlying issue, like an infection or abscess, that needs immediate attention.
- Knocked-Out or Loose Teeth: Accidents happen. If your tooth is knocked out or loosened, quick action is critical to increasing the chance of saving the tooth.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: A broken or chipped tooth can be painful and requires prompt treatment to prevent further damage and discomfort.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: Losing a filling or crown can expose the tooth to further damage or infection. We can restore your tooth quickly to protect it.
- Dental Abscesses: Abscesses are painful infections that can spread if not treated promptly. We can drain and treat the infection to relieve pain and prevent complications.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knowing how to act quickly can make all the difference in the outcome of your dental emergency. Here’s what to do if you find yourself or afamily member in a dental crisis:
1. Call Our Office Immediately
The sooner we can begin addressing your emergency, the better. Our team is here to help and will guide you through the steps to take until you can reach us.
2. Keep the Affected Area Clean
If possible, rinse your mouth gently with warm water to keep the area clean. This helps prevent infection and reduces discomfort.
3. Save Any Broken Pieces
If a tooth breaks or a filling/crown falls out, keep the pieces in a clean container. Bring them with you so we can try to reattach or replace them if possible.
4. Apply a Cold Compress
If you’re experiencing swelling or discomfort, apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the affected area. This can reduce swelling and numb the pain until you can see us.
5. Take Over-the-Counter Pain Relief
You can take over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to manage discomfort. Be sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.
