We understand how stressful a dental emergency can be. That is why we prioritize urgent cases and offer immediate guidance to help you get the care you need without delay.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental concern requires same-day care, but some situations do demand immediate attention to prevent further harm or discomfort. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, our team is always available to help you determine the next step.
Common dental emergencies include:
• Severe or persistent toothaches
• Broken, chipped or cracked teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Swollen or infected gums
• Dental abscesses
• Loose crowns or fillings
• Injuries to the lips, tongue or cheeks
If you are experiencing intense pain, swelling or bleeding, it is important to contact our office as soon as possible. Delaying care may increase the risk of infection, tooth loss or more invasive treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently and keep it moist in milk or saliva. Call our office immediately for emergency care.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
Hospitals may offer temporary relief but are not equipped for dental treatment. It is best to contact a dentist for proper diagnosis and care.
Is a chipped tooth considered an emergency?
If the chip is painful, sharp or affects your ability to eat or speak, it should be treated promptly. We can restore chipped teeth quickly.
Are same-day appointments available for dental emergencies?
Yes. We offer same-day scheduling for urgent needs and will always try to see you as soon as possible.
