What is this treatment?

Emergency dental care starts with finding the cause of the problem.


We may examine the tooth, test the bite, take a digital X-ray, control pain or infection, and provide temporary or final treatment.

Your comfort matters

We know urgent dental problems can be frightening.


We will explain what we see, focus on making you comfortable, and discuss your choices before treatment.

What to expect

  1. Call or text and describe the problem

  2. We ask about pain, swelling, injury, and your health

  3. The dentist examines the area and may take an X-ray

  4. We explain the safest next step

  5. Treatment may be temporary first, depending on the problem

Treatment Options

  • Repair or smooth a broken tooth

  • Replace or recement dental work when appropriate

  • Treat an infection or injured nerve

  • Root canal treatment

  • Tooth extraction

  • Referral to a specialist or emergency department when needed

Benefits

  • Find the cause of pain

  • Lower the chance that the problem gets worse

  • Protect a tooth when it can be saved

  • Create a clear plan instead of waiting and worrying

Technology

Digital X-rays help us look for decay, infection, fractures, and changes around the tooth.


CBCT may be used when a 3D view is needed.

Recovery & Home Care

Home care depends on the problem and treatment.


Follow the instructions we give you.


Call 911 for trouble breathing, severe facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, bleeding you cannot control, or major face or jaw trauma.

Insurance

We accept dental insurance and can help you understand expected benefits and out-of-pocket costs.


Coverage is different for every plan.


We provide treatment estimates and offer financing and options for patients without insurance.

Helpful Tips

  • For a knocked-out permanent tooth, hold it by the crown, not the root, and keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation product

  • For a cracked tooth, rinse gently with warm water and use a cold compress on the face

  • For a toothache, rinse and gently floss; do not place aspirin on the gum

  • Save any crown, filling, or broken tooth piece and bring it with you

  • Call before arriving so we can prepare

You may be wondering...

Do you take walk-ins?

Please call or text first. Same-day care depends on the schedule and the type of emergency.


Should I go to the emergency room?

Call 911 or go to the emergency department for trouble breathing, severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or major face or jaw trauma.


What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?

Keep it moist, do not scrub the root, and call a dentist right away. Fast care gives the tooth the best chance.


Can a broken tooth wait?

Some small chips can wait, but pain, bleeding, swelling, or a sharp deep break should be checked quickly.


Will you fix everything at the first visit?

Sometimes. Other problems need a temporary step first, followed by a planned visit.
