Dental emergencies can happen without warning. We make the next step simple: relieve pain, find the cause, and guide you forward with a clear plan.

What we do first (in order):

  • Relieve pain

  • Diagnose the cause with an exam and imaging when needed

  • Give you options and a clear next step

What happens next (3 steps):

  1. Call or book online

  2. Emergency exam and any needed X-rays

  3. Relief today and a plan for the best long-term solution (root canal, extraction, crown, or repair)

Emergency Dentist FAQs

1) What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, swelling, suspected infection, a knocked-out tooth, a broken or cracked tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma to the mouth. If you are unsure, call us.
2) Can you see me the same day?
We prioritize emergencies and aim to see you as quickly as possible. Same-day treatment is sometimes possible; if not, we focus on relief, stabilizing the area, and a clear next step.
3) Should I call or book online?
Booking online works for many emergencies. Calling is best for severe pain, swelling, trauma, or a knocked-out or broken tooth so we can triage you quickly.
4) What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Time matters. Hold the tooth by the crown, gently rinse if needed, and try to place it back in the socket. If you cannot, store it in milk or saliva and call us right away.
5) What should I do if I have swelling or think I have an infection?
Call as soon as possible—swelling can worsen quickly. Use a cold compress and avoid placing aspirin on the gums; for trouble breathing or severe facial swelling, call 911 or go to the ER.
6) What if I have a broken tooth or cracked tooth?
Avoid chewing on that side and call us. We will evaluate the crack and recommend the safest option to protect the tooth.
7) What if my crown or filling fell out?
Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that tooth. Save the crown if you have it and call us so we can stabilize it.
8) Will I need a root canal or an extraction?
Not always. After an exam and imaging, we will explain whether the tooth can be saved or if extraction is the healthiest option.
9) Do I need antibiotics?
Not always. Antibiotics are recommended only when clinically appropriate; treating the source is usually the main solution.
10) How much does an emergency visit cost?
Cost depends on the exam, imaging, and treatment needed. We review options and estimated costs before treatment whenever possible.
11) Do you take insurance for emergency visits?
Yes, we work with many dental PPO plans and will help you understand benefits. No insurance? Ask about our Self-Care Savings Plan and payment options.
12) What can I do right now for pain?
Use a cold compress for swelling and avoid chewing on the painful tooth. Call us so we can guide you based on your symptoms.
