Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
- Severe toothaches or sudden dental pain – Often caused by decay, infection, or trauma, toothaches should never be ignored.
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth – Whether from an accident or biting something hard, damaged teeth need fast attention to avoid infection or further damage.
- Swollen or infected gums or abscesses – Swelling, pus, or intense sensitivity may indicate a serious infection that requires prompt treatment.
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth – A tooth that’s been completely dislodged can often be saved if treated within the first hour.
- Lost or damaged fillings or crowns – When restorations come loose, the exposed tooth can become sensitive or vulnerable to decay.
- Broken dentures or bridges – Damaged appliances affect both function and comfort. We’ll restore or replace them quickly.
- Trauma or injury to the mouth or jaw – Accidents, sports injuries, or falls can result in fractured teeth or jaw issues that require immediate care.

Do you accept same-day appointments for emergencies?
Yes. We prioritize emergency cases and do our best to accommodate same-day visits for exams, imaging, and often treatment.
