Service 08
Toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings, knocked-out teeth — when something goes wrong, we're here to help. Call us first, and we'll get you in fast.
When To Call
Dental emergencies don't keep office hours — but ignoring them can turn a small problem into a serious one. If you have severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or a knocked-out tooth, call us first. We'll triage over the phone and get you seen fast.
For most emergencies, calling your dentist is faster and more effective than going to the ER — and a fraction of the cost.
Common Emergencies
Whatever's happening, we've seen it before — and we have a calm plan to help.
Throbbing, sharp, or constant pain — often a sign of infection that needs immediate attention.
Save the piece if you can. We can often repair the tooth same-day with bonding or a crown.
Time matters. Keep the tooth moist (in milk or saline) and call us immediately — re-implantation may be possible.
Facial swelling can signal a serious infection. Call us — we'll get you in quickly to drain and treat it.
Can usually be re-cemented or replaced same-day. Don't try to glue it yourself.
We can repair most dentures quickly so you're not without your smile for long.
First Steps At Home
Before you reach our office, here's how to manage common emergencies.
Rinse with warm salt water, floss to remove debris, and use a cold compress. Call us.
Hold it by the crown (not root), rinse gently, and place in milk or saline. Call us within 30 minutes.
Save any pieces, rinse with warm water, and apply gauze if there's bleeding. Cold compress for swelling.
Cold compress and over-the-counter pain reliever. Get to us quickly — infection can spread.
