Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly—and quick action can prevent complications, reduce pain, and protect your natural teeth.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

knocked-out tooth
broken/chipped tooth with pain
severe toothache or swelling
abscess or gum infection
lost fillings/crowns causing sensitivity or pain
trauma to the mouth or jaw

Emergency Services We Provide

Toothaches & Infections
We identify the cause (decay, infection, gum issues) and provide immediate relief and a plan for definitive treatment.

Dental Trauma
For broken or knocked-out teeth, timing matters. We guide you on what to do immediately and treat urgently.

Abscess Treatment
Abscesses require prompt care to prevent spread. Treatment may include drainage, antibiotics, and endodontic or surgical care.

Broken Crowns/Fillings
We can repair or stabilize the tooth to restore comfort and prevent further damage.

What to Do Before You Arrive

for swelling: cold compress on the outside of the face
for pain: OTC pain relievers (as appropriate for you)
for a knocked-out tooth: handle by the crown, rinse gently, store in milk/saline and seek care immediately
