A Typical Emergency Dental Care Visit

An emergency dental appointment is designed to relieve pain quickly, assess the problem, and provide immediate care. It typically includes a thorough exam, X-rays if needed, and diagnosis of issues like toothaches, infections, broken teeth, or lost fillings. Your dentist will stabilize the problem—whether it’s a temporary filling, medication, or extraction—and explain next steps for follow-up treatment.

Emergency visits are handled with urgency and compassion. We know that prompt attention can prevent further complications to your oral health and restore your peace of mind.

FAQ

  • What is considered a dental emergency?

    Severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, swelling, excessive bleeding, or oral injuries all can warrant immediate dental care.

  • What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

    It’s best to rinse the tooth gently, avoid touching the root, and keep it in milk or saliva. Call us immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth.
