Same-Day Appointments For Pain & Trauma
When unexpected dental pain or trauma occurs, prompt treatment can prevent complications and help save teeth. Our office offers same-day appointments for urgent concerns, providing quick relief and thorough evaluation to determine the best course of action. Emergency visits may include care for:
- Severe toothaches.
- Swelling or infection.
- Knocked-out or loose teeth.
- Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth.
- Soft tissue injuries.
- Lost crowns or fillings.
We prioritize emergencies because we understand how distressing dental pain can be and how important it is to act quickly.
What To Do For A Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is one of the most time-sensitive dental emergencies. Acting quickly can make the difference between saving and losing the tooth. If a tooth is knocked out:
- Pick it up by the crown, not the root.
- Rinse gently if dirty, but do not scrub.
- Keep the tooth moist in milk, saline, or your own saliva.
- If possible, place it back in the socket.
- Contact our office immediately.
The best chance of saving the tooth is within one hour of the injury.
Treating Toothaches, Infections, & Swelling
Severe tooth pain or swelling often signals an infection that requires immediate attention. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious complications, including abscess formation or the spread of infection beyond the tooth. Common causes of tooth pain include:
- Deep cavities.
- Cracked teeth.
- Gum infections.
- Failing restorations.
- Impacted wisdom teeth.
Our team will diagnose the cause of your discomfort and provide treatment to eliminate pain and protect your oral health.
Care For Broken Or Chipped Teeth
A chipped or broken tooth can happen while eating, during sports, or from accidental trauma. Even minor chips should be evaluated to prevent further damage. Depending on severity, treatment may include:
- Smoothing sharp areas.
- Dental bonding.
- Crowns for larger fractures.
- Veneers for front-tooth cosmetic repairs.
If the fracture exposes the inner tooth structure, immediate care is crucial to prevent infection and preserve the tooth.
When To Seek Immediate Emergency Dental Care
Not every dental issue requires emergency treatment, but certain symptoms should never be ignored. Seek care right away if you experience:
- Persistent or severe tooth pain.
- Facial swelling or fever.
- Bleeding that does not stop.
- A knocked-out, loose, or fractured tooth.
- Signs of infection, such as warmth or discharge.
- Difficulty opening your mouth or swallowing.
If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us—we will help you determine the next steps.
Preventing Future Dental Emergencies
While some emergencies are unavoidable, many can be prevented with good habits and routine care. Our team helps patients reduce their risk of dental trauma and decay through education and proactive guidance. Preventive tips include:
- Wearing a mouthguard during sports.
- Avoiding chewing ice or hard objects.
- Keeping up with routine exams and cleanings.
- Treating dental issues early before they worsen.
- Using caution with sticky or hard foods.
- Wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
By making preventive care a priority, you can dramatically reduce your risk of unexpected emergencies.
