Emergency Dental Care

Q: What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies include severe tooth pain, swelling, infections, broken or knocked-out teeth, bleeding, and dental injuries that require immediate attention to relieve pain or prevent further damage.

Q: Can I go to the ER for tooth pain?

Hospital emergency rooms can help manage severe pain or swelling, but a dentist is best equipped to treat the source of dental problems. For life-threatening swelling, difficulty breathing, or serious facial trauma, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Q: How quickly should I treat a knocked-out tooth?

A knocked-out tooth should be treated as quickly as possible, ideally within 30 to 60 minutes, to improve the chances of saving the tooth.

Q: Do you accept walk-in emergencies?

We do our best to accommodate emergency patients as quickly as possible. Calling ahead is recommended so our team can prepare for your visit and provide faster care.

Q: What if my emergency happens after hours?

If your dental emergency occurs after hours, contact our office and follow the instructions provided. If you experience severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
