Common Emergencies We Treat
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged, weakened, or cosmetically imperfect teeth. They restore the tooth’s natural shape, size, and function while protecting it from further damage. With today’s advanced materials and digital design, crowns can blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, functional smile.
Toothache
Persistent or severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue such as an infection or decay. Call us to get quick relief before the issue becomes more serious.
Chipped Tooth
Accidents or trauma can result in chipped or broken teeth, causing pain and affecting your smile’s appearance.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Immediate action is crucial if a tooth gets knocked out. If possible, try to gently place the tooth back into its socket or keep it moist in milk while you seek emergency dental care.
Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown can expose the sensitive inner layers of your tooth, leading to discomfort and vulnerability to further damage.
Dental Abscess or Swelling
Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw accompanied by pain could indicate an abscess, a serious dental infection that requires immediate attention.
Dental Trauma
Any injury to the mouth, teeth, or gums that causes bleeding, severe pain, or damage should be addressed by a dental professional promptly.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Stay Calm
Remaining calm can help you make clear decisions and take appropriate actions.
Contact Us
Call our emergency dental line at 888-241-8557 as soon as possible to schedule an emergency appointment.
Manage Pain
Over-the-counter pain relievers and applying a cold compress to the affected area can help alleviate discomfort until you can see a dentist.
Handle teeth carefully
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (top part) and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with water if dirty, but do not scrub or remove any attached tissue fragments
