Toothache

Severe tooth pain, sensitivity, swelling or pain when biting can signal decay, infection or damage. An emergency exam helps identify the cause before the problem becomes worse.

Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth

Prompt care can protect the tooth and reduce further damage. Treatment may include smoothing, bonding, a filling or a crown depending on the injury.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out adult tooth needs immediate attention. Handle it by the crown, keep it moist and call the office while coming in for urgent care.

Tooth Abscess

Facial swelling, a painful bump, fever or a bad taste can indicate infection. Dental abscesses need urgent evaluation to relieve pain and prevent the infection from spreading.

Emergency Tooth Extraction

Extraction is recommended only when a tooth cannot be repaired safely. We explain the procedure, comfort options and replacement guidance before treatment.

Bleeding Gums

Bleeding that is heavy, painful or accompanied by swelling may need prompt care. We check for injury, gum infection and other causes.

Pediatric Dental Emergency

Children with dental pain, facial swelling, broken teeth or mouth injuries should be evaluated quickly in a calm, supportive setting.

Lost Filling or Broken Crown

A loose filling or damaged crown can expose sensitive tooth structure. Keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side and arrange an evaluation.

What To Do Before Your Emergency Visit

1

2

Protect the tooth

3
