What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry refers to the swift treatment of certain dental issues, which helps alleviate pain, prevent complications, and/ or preserve teeth. We prioritize your oral well-being by offering flexible appointment options, so you receive the urgent dental care you need sooner.

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

• Severe Toothache: Intense discomfort that persists may indicate an underlying issue such as infection or decay. This could warrant immediate attention so we can address and hopefully resolve your pain and prevent further complications​.
• Chipped or Fractured Teeth: Accidents can lead to broken or chipped teeth, which may require prompt repair using root canal therapy to save the tooth and prevent pain and sensitivity.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Losing a tooth due to trauma is a dental emergency that necessitates immediate care. Quick action can preserve the tooth and enable our dentist to reimplant it, especially if it is handled properly and brought to the dentist quickly.
• Abscessed Tooth: An abscess is a painful infection that can occur at the root of a tooth or in the gums. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, but it can be resolved with an extraction.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Injuries to the gums, tongue, or cheeks that cause significant bleeding or pain should be addressed and treated swiftly to prevent issues and support healing​.

Are All Patients Candidates for This Preventive Care?

Patients of all ages experiencing dental discomfort, severe pain, or irritation may benefit from emergency dental care.
