Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, and timely care is essential to prevent further pain or damage. Whether you’re dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or sudden swelling, our team is here to help you find relief and protect your oral health.

Common Dental Emergencies Include:

• Persistent or severe tooth pain
• A knocked-out or loose tooth
• Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
• Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
• A lost or damaged dental restoration (filling, crown, or bridge)
• Injury or trauma to the mouth

If you are experiencing any of these issues, contact us right away. We will do our best to see you as soon as possible, often on the same day.

When you visit for a dental emergency, our priority is to relieve your pain and stabilize your condition. We take the time to carefully examine the affected area and determine the most effective treatment for your situation.

What to Expect:

1. Assessment and X-rays: We begin by evaluating your teeth and gums to locate the source of pain or damage.
2. Pain Relief: We provide immediate relief through local anesthesia or medication if needed.
3. Treatment: Depending on the issue, we may repair, restore, or clean the area to prevent infection and further complications.
4. Follow-Up Care: Once the emergency is addressed, we create a plan for any additional treatments needed to fully restore your oral health.

Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, informed, and cared for throughout your visit.

Seeking immediate care for a dental emergency helps:

• Relieve pain and discomfort
• Prevent infection and tooth loss
• Protect surrounding teeth and tissues
• Reduce the need for more complex treatments later
• Restore normal function and comfort quickly

Prompt treatment helps safeguard both your oral and overall health.

After your emergency treatment, following your dentist’s recommendations is key to recovery and long-term oral health.

Helpful Tips:

• Avoid chewing on the affected side until fully healed
• Rinse gently with warm salt water to keep the area clean
• Take any prescribed or recommended medications as directed
• Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing
• Maintain regular brushing and flossing to prevent future issues

With the right care and attention, you can recover quickly and protect your smile from future dental emergencies.
