What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that involves pain, infection, bleeding, or sudden damage to a tooth or restoration.

Common examples include:

  • Severe or persistent toothaches
  • Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth
  • Knocked-out teeth
  • Abscesses or infections causing swelling or fever
  • Loose or lost crowns, bridges, or fillings
  • Gum or soft tissue injuries
  • Dental trauma from sports or accidents

If you’re unsure whether your situation is urgent, give our office a call—we’re happy to guide you. When in doubt, it’s always best to be evaluated promptly to prevent complications.

Emergency Services We Provide

Our dentists offer a complete range of treatment options to handle urgent situations promptly and effectively, including:

Root Canal Therapy

If your toothache is caused by infection or nerve inflammation, a root canal may be needed to relieve pain and save the tooth. We provide same-day root canal treatment whenever appropriate.

Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged or infected to be restored, our team can perform gentle, efficient extractions—often during the same visit.

Emergency Restorations

Chipped, fractured, or broken teeth can often be restored with bonding, same-day fillings, or temporary crowns until a permanent solution is ready.

Treatment for Swelling or Infection

Oral infections can progress quickly. We assess the source of the problem, relieve your discomfort, and begin treatment right away to prevent further spread.

Care for Dental Trauma

Whether from sports, accidents, or unexpected impact, we treat fractured teeth, knocked-out teeth, and soft tissue injuries with urgency and compassion.

If you’re unsure what you need, our team will evaluate the issue, explain your options clearly, and begin treatment as soon as possible.

Why Immediate Care Matters

Delaying treatment can make dental emergencies worse.

Fast attention helps:

  • Prevent infection from spreading
  • Save injured or knocked-out teeth
  • Stop pain quickly
  • Reduce the need for more extensive treatment later
  • Protect your overall health

If you're experiencing significant discomfort, swelling, or trauma, seeking care right away is the safest choice.

How We Make Emergency Visits Comfortable

We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful, especially when pain is involved. Our team focuses on creating a calm, welcoming environment from the moment you call. We take time to listen, assess your symptoms, and explain what’s happening and how we can help.

With advanced diagnostic tools, gentle techniques, and a compassionate approach, we make it easier to get through dental emergencies with confidence and comfort.

Frequently asked questions About Emergency Dentistry

Can the ER or urgent care treat a toothache?

Hospitals and urgent care clinics can help with severe infections, swelling, or pain control, but they cannot perform dental treatments such as root canals or extractions. Only a dentist can diagnose and treat the cause of a toothache. Contact us for same-day emergency care.

What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?

Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently if needed, and try to place it back in the socket. If that isn’t possible, store it in milk and call us immediately. Teeth have the best chance of being saved within the first hour.

I’m a new patient—can I still be seen for an emergency?

Yes. We welcome new patients for emergency visits and will help you get relief as quickly as possible.

Are same-day emergency appointments always available?

We reserve time in our schedule Monday–Saturday specifically for urgent dental needs, and we do everything possible to accommodate same-day visits. While availability can vary depending on the day and the severity of the emergency, our team will always work to get you seen as quickly as possible.
