What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Many patients hesitate to seek urgent dental care because they aren’t sure what “counts” as an emergency. The truth is, if something feels off and is affecting your ability to eat, sleep, or go about your day—it’s worth getting looked at. Common emergencies include:
- Severe or sudden tooth pain
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Swelling in the face or gums
- Bleeding that won’t stop
- Knocked-out or loose adult teeth
- Lost crowns or fillings
- Infections or abscesses
If you’re in doubt, call us. We’ll let you know if it’s urgent or if it can wait a day or two, and we’ll always try to fit you in same-day if it’s serious.
What to Expect During an Emergency Dental Visit
We understand that dental emergencies are stressful, especially if you're in pain or dealing with unexpected damage. That’s why we keep our emergency process simple, calm, and efficient.
Here’s what typically happens during your visit:
- Triage and quick intake to understand your symptoms
- Digital X-rays or visual exam to identify the cause
- Immediate pain relief or stabilization, such as temporary fillings or numbing
- A clear explanation of treatment options
- Next steps, which may include same-day treatment or a short follow-up
Our goal is to get you out of pain as quickly as possible and provide a clear plan to resolve the issue. Whether you need a root canal, extraction, repair, or just reassurance, our team is here for you.
We also offer sedation dentistry for nervous or overwhelmed patients, including oral sedation for a calmer experience.
