Our Contact Information

Below are instructions for handling minor dental emergencies.

Tooth Pain

You know how much it can disrupt your life if you have a painful tooth. We will diagnose the source of your pain and make a plan to relieve it using a procedure like a root canal.

Broken Crowns, Bridges, or Dentures

When a crown, bridge, or denture breaks, it can keep you from eating, talking, and smiling. We can reseat the crown or bridge that has fallen out or repair a denture, returning you to your routine.

Knocked-Out Teeth

If you knock out a tooth, don't panic. A skilled dentist can often replace a knocked-out or avulsed tooth.

Suspected Abscesses

An abscess is a dental infection that needs rapid treatment. Symptoms of a dental abscess include an intense toothache or gum pain, redness and swelling inside the mouth or on the jaw or face, extreme sensitivity to heat and cold, and fever.

Chipped or Cracked Teeth

Chipped or cracked teeth can interfere with your chewing ability and your smile. A cracked tooth may also become infected inside. Our dentist can treat a chipped or cracked tooth using a composite filling, root canal, or crown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What constitutes a dental emergency?

You should call a dentist as soon as possible if you experience pain or sudden swelling. Dental problems don't go away on their own, and home care measures may only stop the discomfort for a short time.

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

First, find the tooth and try resetting it in its socket or holding it inside your cheek. If these methods don't work, put it in a glass of milk. Bring the tooth to the dentist as quickly as possible. We can replant it in your socket and splint it, so it heals and bonds with the jaw.

What should I do if a filling falls out?

A lost filling may seem like a minor issue, but it can cause pain and infection if you do not replace it. While waiting for your appointment, you can get dental cement at the pharmacy. Call us as soon as possible.
