Dental Emergencies

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency includes any situation that causes severe pain, bleeding, or damage to your teeth or gums. Common dental emergencies we treat include:

• Severe Toothaches: Persistent or sharp pain that interferes with your daily activities.
• Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth: Damage from trauma or biting down on hard objects.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: Immediate care can often save the tooth if addressed quickly. Whether sports-related or otherwise, we offer the professional treatment you need.
• Lost Crowns or Fillings: Protect the exposed tooth and prevent further damage.
• Dental Abscesses: Infections causing swelling, fever, or a pimple-like bump on the gums.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Bleeding or cuts to the lips, cheeks, or tongue.

Why Prompt Care is Crucial

• Prevents the issue from worsening or causing further complications, which is necessary for good oral health.
• Provides immediate pain relief, allowing you to resume your daily routine.
