When Emergency Dental Treatment May Be Needed
Emergency dental treatment begins with identifying what is causing the problem. Serious pain, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or an infection may require a timely visit.
Important: If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek emergency medical care immediately.
How we can help
Types of Emergency Dental Treatment
Treatment for Cracked and Broken Teeth
Repair options depend on the location and extent of the damage. The goal is to protect remaining tooth structure and restore function where possible.
Treatment for a Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out permanent tooth requires immediate action. Call as soon as possible and bring the tooth carefully stored in milk or saliva.
Treatment for Dental Abscesses
Infections need an examination. Depending on the findings, care may include drainage, medication when indicated, and treatment of the affected tooth.
Treatment for Missing Dental Restorations
If a filling, crown, or bridge falls out, the dentist can evaluate whether it can be replaced and how to protect the exposed tooth.
