Understanding urgent care

What is Emergency Dental Care?

Emergency dental care helps when sudden tooth pain, injury, swelling, or another oral-health problem needs timely attention. These concerns can happen at any time. Our team will listen to what is happening, help assess the urgency, and explain the most appropriate next step.

24/7 call line

Leave a message for urgent triage and guidance outside clinic hours.

Care for all ages

Emergency dental support for children, adults, and families.

Know the signs

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

If pain, swelling, or damage feels urgent, call the clinic and describe what happened. We will help you determine the appropriate next step.

01

Severe Tooth Pain

Pain that prevents you from sleeping, eating, or concentrating may be connected to decay, inflammation, infection, or damage involving a tooth or jaw. Prompt assessment may help relieve pain and protect the tooth.

02

Knocked-Out Teeth

A permanent tooth lost because of an accident or injury may be saved when you act quickly. Handle it carefully and contact the clinic immediately because time is critical.

03

Chipped or Broken Teeth

A chipped or broken tooth can be painful, sensitive, or sharp enough to injure your tongue or cheek. An assessment can determine how the tooth may be repaired and protected.

04

Lost Fillings or Crowns

When a filling or crown becomes loose or falls out, the tooth may feel weak or sensitive. Contact the clinic so the area can be evaluated and further damage can be avoided.

05

Swollen Gums or Face

Swelling in the mouth or face may be a sign of infection and should be assessed promptly. Rapidly spreading swelling or difficulty breathing or swallowing requires emergency medical care.

06

Something Between Your Teeth

Food or another object can sometimes become tightly lodged between teeth. If gentle flossing does not remove it, the dental team has appropriate instruments to address it safely.

Act with care

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

These first steps may help while you arrange professional care.

  1. 1 Call us right away—do not wait for pain to get worse.
  2. 2 Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water if there is swelling.
  3. 3 Use pain medication only if it is safe for you and follow the label instructions.
  4. 4 Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face if there is swelling.
  5. 5 Save any broken tooth pieces and bring them to your appointment.

Emergency dentistry FAQ

Answers when every minute feels important.

Call the clinic if you are unsure whether your concern can wait.

What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency can include severe or escalating pain, bleeding that will not stop, significant swelling, dental trauma, or a knocked-out permanent tooth. If you are unsure, call us and describe your symptoms so we can help you understand the next step.

How much does emergency dental care cost?

The cost depends on the examination, diagnostic information, and specific treatment required. The team will review anticipated fees with you before treatment begins whenever circumstances allow.

Should I go to the hospital emergency room for tooth pain?

A hospital may help manage serious symptoms, but it generally does not provide definitive repair for a dental problem. Call 911 or go to an emergency department for trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly spreading swelling, major facial trauma, or another life-threatening concern. For other urgent dental problems, call the clinic first.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

For a knocked-out permanent tooth, hold it by the crown rather than the root. If it is visibly dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing. If you cannot safely place it back in the socket, keep it in cold milk and contact the clinic immediately. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.
