A dental emergency is an issue or event requiring immediate attention from a dental professional. If you are experiencing a dental emergency (see list below), we encourage you to contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an emergency visit with one our dentists. A dental emergency isn’t planned, so please call and we can arrange an appointment as quickly as possible to address any damage and the possibility of lasting effects.

A dental emergency can include, but is not limited to, the following:

• A cracked, broken, chipped or fractured tooth
• A lost restoration, such as a filling or a crown
• A Severe toothache or any other tooth pain or intense discomfort
• A partially or completely knocked-out or loose tooth
• Damage to any soft tissues in your mouth, including tongue, cheeks, gums and lips

If you are suffering from any of the above conditions, please contact our office immediately. We will provide you with specific information you need to prevent further damage in the time before your emergency visit. Our dentists and team will then be able to assess the damage and restore the health of your smile.

There are times when visiting the emergency room or your general practitioner is recommended prior to seeing one of our doctors including if you experienced trauma to your head or neck.   Please see them before scheduling with us in these cases, and we will work to get your healthy smile back after your initial health emergency has been addressed.  To learn more about dental emergency care, please call our office today!
