What counts as a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies include: severe toothache, swelling of the face or jaw (possible abscess), knocked-out tooth, broken or cracked tooth with pain, lost filling or crown causing pain, bleeding that won't stop, and soft tissue injuries. If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us and we'll advise you.

What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?

Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root). Rinse gently with water — do not scrub. Try to reinsert the tooth in its socket if possible. If not, keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum. Get to a dentist within 30–60 minutes — the sooner, the better chance of saving the tooth.

What should I do about a dental abscess?

A dental abscess is a serious infection that requires prompt treatment. Take over-the-counter pain medication and apply a cold compress for swelling. Do not apply heat. If you have fever, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty breathing, go to an emergency room immediately. Otherwise, call us for an urgent appointment.

Can I walk in without an appointment for an emergency?

Walk-ins are welcome, but calling ahead ensures we can prepare for your arrival and minimize your wait time. We do our best to accommodate all emergency patients on the same day.
