Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Knowing the types of emergencies we handle can help you recognize when to seek urgent care:

  • Severe toothache or pressure: Intense pain can indicate infection or decay needing immediate attention.
  • Knocked-out or loose teeth: Prompt treatment can sometimes save a tooth if addressed quickly.
  • Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth: Even minor damage should be evaluated to prevent complications.
  • Lost fillings or crowns: Missing restorations expose your tooth to sensitivity and further damage.
  • Swelling or dental abscess: Swelling is a sign of infection and requires urgent care to prevent spread.
  • Bleeding gums or soft tissue injuries: Cuts or bleeding inside your mouth can be serious and need professional treatment.

If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, don’t hesitate to call—we’ll help you decide.

Save Broken Tooth Fragments

If a tooth has broken or been knocked out, gently rinse the piece with water (do not scrub or use soap). Keep it moist—ideally in milk or saliva—and bring it with you. Avoid touching exposed roots to increase the chance of successful treatment.
