Emergency Dental Care

Q: Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?

Yes. We make every effort to provide same-day emergency dental appointments whenever possible. Because dental emergencies can worsen quickly, we prioritize patients experiencing pain, swelling, trauma, or infection.

Q: What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Contact our office immediately. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when treated quickly. Handle the tooth carefully by the crown (not the root), place it in milk or keep it in your mouth. DO NOT rinse it with tap water. Time is critical, so call right away.

Q: Can a tooth infection become serious?

Yes. Dental infections can spread beyond the tooth and affect surrounding tissues if left untreated. Symptoms such as swelling, severe pain, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth should be evaluated promptly. Early treatment can help prevent more serious complications.

Q: Will my emergency visit include treatment the same day?

Whenever possible, we aim to provide immediate treatment to relieve pain and address the problem during your emergency visit. Depending on the diagnosis, some situations may require additional appointments to complete treatment. We'll explain everything clearly before moving forward.
