When to Call

Common dental emergencies we treat

Severe Toothache

Persistent or severe tooth pain often signals infection or decay that needs prompt attention.

Chipped or Broken Tooth

We do our best to repair a broken tooth the same day with bonding, a crown, or other restoration, scheduling permitting.

Lost Filling or Crown

An exposed tooth after a lost filling or crown needs prompt repair to prevent further damage.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is critical — call immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth.

Swelling or Abscess

Facial swelling or a dental abscess can indicate a serious infection requiring urgent care.

Broken Denture or Appliance

A broken denture, retainer, or other dental appliance can usually be repaired quickly.

While You Wait

What to do until your appointment

For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist (in milk or your own saliva) and get to us as quickly as possible. For pain and swelling, a cold compress and over-the-counter pain relief can help in the short term. Avoid chewing on the affected side, and don't apply aspirin directly to the gum or tooth.

This page provides general guidance only and isn't a substitute for immediate professional care or medical advice. For a medical emergency, call 911.
