Common Dental Emergencies

Severe Tooth or Jaw Pain

Severe pain to your tooth or jaw?  Sensitive to cold or hot?  If it hurts, it’s a dental emergency.  The sooner you call us, the quicker we can get you the relief you need.  

Same Day Emergency Appointments Available.

Call Today.

Broken Crown

Crowns can loosen or break at the worst times during a meal, at work, or even while brushing. If it happens, don’t panic and don’t try to glue it back in place. Rinse gently, keep the area clean, and call us right away. With our CEREC same-day technology, we can repair or replace your crown in a single visit and have your smile feeling good as new. 

Broken Tooth or Teeth?

Lost a tooth? Don’t touch the root. Instead, return the tooth to the socket in your mouth, and see us right away. You can also put the tooth in a container of milk or water, and apply ice to your face. If you and your tooth can be reunited, you will be.

Dental Trauma & Sports Injuries

A stray ball to the mouth, a fall on the field,  accidents happen fast. If a tooth or teeth are knocked out, gently place it back in its socket or keep it in milk or water, and call us right away. Apply ice to reduce swelling and come in as soon as you can. Most injuries from chipped or broken teeth to fully dislodged ones can be treated in a single visit. With digital X-rays and same-day restorative technology, we’ll get you comfortable and back to smiling before the day’s over.

Ouch, It Hurts…

Bite down the wrong way? Wake up with sudden tooth pain or something that just doesn’t feel right? When “ouch” happens in your mouth, call us. We’ll find the cause, relieve your pain, and get you back to smiling comfortably again, often the very same day.
