Why Emergency Dental Care Is Important
Don’t ignore your dental emergency. Common emergency situations include severe toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and more.
Severe Toothache
Sudden, persistent tooth pain that may indicate an infection, abscess, or deep cavity requiring immediate attention.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
A fractured tooth can expose the inner nerve and lead to infection. We’ll assess the damage and restore your tooth quickly.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A tooth completely dislodged from its socket. Time is critical — the sooner you’re seen, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
Lost Filling or Crown
When a filling or crown falls out, the underlying tooth is vulnerable to sensitivity and further damage.
Severe Sensitivity
Intense sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure that comes on suddenly may indicate nerve damage or underlying infection.
Dental Abscess
A painful, swollen infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and tooth. Requires urgent treatment.
Damaged Orthodontic Appliances
Broken brackets, loose wires, or damaged retainers can cause discomfort and interfere with your treatment.
Infections & Swelling
Swelling, bleeding gums, or signs of oral infection require prompt professional care to prevent complications.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Cuts, tears, or punctures to the gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips from trauma that are bleeding and need professional treatment.
