We know dental emergencies are unexpected. That’s why we offer flexible payment options with CareCredit, Sunbit, Cherry, and in-house financing to fit your budget.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
- Severe Tooth Pain or Sensitivity – Sharp or persistent pain that may indicate an infection or nerve damage.
- Cracked, Broken, or Chipped Teeth – From accidents, grinding, or biting hard foods.
- Knocked-Out Tooth (Avulsed Tooth) – Getting care within 30-60 minutes increases the chances of saving your tooth.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns – Leaving a tooth unprotected can lead to pain and further damage.
- Dental Abscess or Infection – Symptoms like swelling, fever, or throbbing pain need immediate attention.
- Gum, Lip, or Tongue Injuries – Cuts or trauma to soft tissues may require treatment to stop bleeding and prevent infection.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If You Knock Out a Tooth
- Handle it by the crown (top), not the root.
- Try to reinsert it into the socket or store it in milk or saliva until you reach our office.
For Severe Tooth Pain or Swelling
- Rinse with warm water to keep the area clean.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication as needed.
- Apply a cold compress if swelling occurs.
For a Cracked or Broken Tooth
- Save any broken pieces if possible.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side until you see a dentist.
