Find Rapid Relief for Your Dental Emergency

Dental emergencies be extremely painful and pose serious risks to your health. It’s important to recognize the signs of a dental emergency and know when to seek professional help. For less severe problems, like minor chips or small cavities, you might be able to get away with scheduling a regular dental appointment. However, if you’re not sure about how severe your condition is, it’s best to err on the side of caution and contact our team for guidance.

Gentle Care in Your Time of Need

One thing that’s always common in dental emergencies? Stress! We know how anxiety spikes in these situations, which is why we’re committed to giving our patients prompt and compassionate care. We’re equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies, including:

• Tooth extractions: If one of your teeth is severely damaged or infected, we might perform an extraction to remove it entirely.
• Root canals: We perform root canals to treat infected and damaged tooth pulp.
• Dental Restorations: We can repair chipped, cracked, or broken teeth with various restorations..

How to Handle Your Emergency (Before Your Appointment)

I have a knocked-out tooth

Gently rinse your tooth in water, being careful not to touch the root. If possible, reinsert your tooth into the socket and bite down gently. If you can’t reinsert the tooth, put it in a container of milk or saline solution.

I have a broken tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling. Hold onto any broken pieces of your tooth to bring along to your appointment.

I have a severe toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water and floss to remove stuck food particles. You can use over-the-counter pain relievers to manage your pain, but be sure to note what you’ve taken to our team.

I have severe bleeding in my mouth

Apply a clean gauze pad to the affected area and bite down firmly. If your bleeding doesn’t stop after about 10 minutes, reach out to seek immediate attention from our team.
