What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency often involves sudden, intense discomfort in your teeth, gums or jaw, or visible damage to a tooth. These situations require immediate attention.
Call us right away if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Severe tooth pain or pressure
- Broken, cracked, or chipped tooth
- Knocked-out or loose adult tooth
- Dental abscess, swelling, or signs of infection
- Ongoing bleeding from the mouth or gums
- Lost crown or filling causing pain or sensitivity
Some dental problems can wait, but many require immediate care to prevent tooth loss, infection, or more complex (and costly) problems later on.

Emergency Dentistry FAQs
Is a chipped tooth considered a dental emergency?
It can be. If the tooth is painful, sensitive, or has a sharp edge that irritates your tongue or cheek, it’s best to get it checked. Even small chips can lead to bigger problems if left untreated.
Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?
No. Once a tooth is cracked, it needs professional evaluation and treatment. Waiting can lead to pain, infection, or even tooth loss.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Pick it up by the crown (the top), not the root. Rinse it gently if needed, and keep it moist in milk or saliva. Time matters—call us immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Can you repair a broken crown or filling the same day?
Yes. In most cases, we can restore the tooth the same day with a replacement crown, a temporary restoration, or another solution to protect it until a permanent fix is ready.
Can I really see a dentist today?
Yes! We leave space in our schedule for dental emergencies and do our best to offer same-day appointments. If you’re in pain or something feels wrong, call us right away and we’ll fit you in as soon as possible.
What financing options do you offer for emergency dental care?
We believe cost should never prevent you from getting the care you need. We accept Cherry, CareCredit, and offer an In-House Dental Savings Plan to help make emergency treatment more affordable. We’ll walk you through your options before starting any treatment.
