Dental emergencies can range from toothaches and broken teeth to lost fillings and other unexpected oral health issues.

We prioritize your well-being and believe in delivering treatments that resolve your immediate concerns and support your long-term oral health.
What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?
Understanding what constitutes a dental emergency can better prepare you to identify when immediate care is needed. Emergencies may include:
- Severe Toothache: Persistent and intense pain can indicate underlying issues such as infections or abscesses.
- Broken or Chipped Tooth: Damage to a tooth can result from trauma and may require restoration or repair to prevent further complications.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Quick action is crucial to potentially save a tooth that has been dislodged.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: These situations can leave your tooth exposed and vulnerable to further damage or decay.
- Gum Injuries: Cuts or injuries to the gums, tongue, or inside of the mouth need assessment to rule out more severe conditions.
Our team is well-versed in diagnosing and treating these emergencies, ensuring you swiftly receive appropriate care to alleviate discomfort and prevent future complications.
Immediate Steps You Can Take
While awaiting treatment, specific steps can mitigate pain and further damage. For severe toothaches, rinsing your mouth with warm water and using a cold compress can help reduce swelling. For a knocked-out tooth, carefully rinse it and attempt to place it back in the socket to improve the chances of successful reattachment. Avoid using aspirin or other painkillers directly on the affected area, as this can harm the gum tissue.
