What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth causing pain, lost crowns, and signs of infection (like swelling or an abscess) are all dental emergencies.

Can you fix a broken tooth same day?

Yes, depending on the severity of the break, we can often repair it the same day using composite bonding or place a temporary crown to protect the tooth.

What should I do for severe tooth pain?

Rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove any trapped food, and apply a cold compress to your cheek. Call us immediately for an appointment.

Do you accept walk-ins?

While we prefer you call ahead so we can prepare for your arrival, we do our absolute best to accommodate emergency walk-in patients as quickly as possible.

What if my tooth gets knocked out?

Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it in a glass of milk and get to our office immediately.

Is a lost filling an emergency?

If it's causing severe pain, yes. If there is no pain, it is still urgent and should be treated within a few days to prevent decay or further damage.

Do you offer emergency tooth extractions?

Yes. While our goal is always to save your natural tooth, if an extraction is the only way to resolve the emergency, we perform it gently and safely.

How much does an emergency visit cost?

The cost depends on the treatment required. Your initial emergency exam and X-ray will allow us to provide a full cost breakdown before any procedure begins.

Can I go to the ER for a toothache?

Most hospital ERs do not have dentists on staff and can only provide antibiotics or pain medication. It is always better to see an emergency dentist.

Do you offer sedation for emergencies?

Yes, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation to help you stay comfortable and calm during your emergency treatment.
