Emergency Dentistry

A dental emergency can occur in a number of different ways. If you are feeling discomfort, it may be the result of an injury to the oral-facial area, the flare up of a longstanding issue, or the result of the sudden and seemingly inexplicable onset of pain. It doesn't matter what the cause of your oral pain is, you need urgent dental care to provide relief. In addition, you need urgent dental care to avoid even more serious consequences to your oral health and function, as well as your overall health.

Emergency dental care can be required for a number of reasons. These include:

• severe toothaches
• cracked or chipped teeth
• a tooth abscess
• impacted teeth
• loose fillings
• dislodged crowns
• broken dentures
• large cavities
• fractured teeth
• impacted wisdom teeth
• and more

Having a toothache might be one of the more common reasons that patients come to our office for emergency oral care. However, we also diagnose and treat other kinds of dental emergencies that aren't necessarily painful. For example, we can fix crowns that have dislodged or broken dentures that leave embarrassing spaces in one's smile.

You need to contact our office immediately for treatment if you are experiencing oral-facial pain or if you suspect that an infection is present. If you need to be seen as soon as possible, we make every effort to do so.
