Dental Emergencies
Same-day emergency care for new and existing patients to get you out of pain quickly.
What are Dental Emergencies?
A dental emergency can occur at virtually any time and for a variety of reasons. Even with regular dental care, you can still experience a problem from time to time. We offer emergency care in our office for both new and existing patients. Our goal is to have you leave the office in a quick, efficient manner and with no pain or discomfort.
Why is treatment necessary?
If you fail to treat a dental emergency, the problem can eventually get worse. Over time, a minor issue could result in the need for more invasive treatments. An infection or abscess can form, causing significant pain, tooth loss and underlying bone loss. This is why we recommend that you come in for treatment as soon as you notice there’s a problem.
What are some common Dental Emergencies?
We see many different types of emergencies, including pain and severe toothache, bleeding or swollen gums, broken or cracked teeth, broken or fallen restorations, orthodontic emergencies, post-operative complications, and infections and abscesses.
What happens during Dental Emergency treatment?
We ask you about the problem and what you’re experiencing, then take x-rays and perform an exam to find the root cause. We provide immediate treatment, if available, so you can leave the office with no pain. If you have an active infection, we normally prescribe antibiotics before any treatment is started. We can work with children and adults alike.
