Emergency Dental Services

If a filling falls out of your teeth, make sure to call us as soon as possible. The hole in your tooth will be susceptible to further decay until the filling is replaced. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side.

Crowns are built to last, but they can occasionally fall off your tooth. If this happens to you, don't panic. Call us right away for an appointment. 

If possible, locate the lost crowns. Rinse it gently with warm water, and place it in a container to bring to your appointment. In many situations, we can reattach your existing crown and save you the money and time of having a new one created.

Have a broken or chipped tooth? Try to find the missing tooth, put it in a clean container and bring it to your appointment. Your dentist can potentially reattach it. Whether the piece is found or not, call us right away to have it repaired.

If you can find your knocked-out tooth, rinse, hold it by the crown and re-insert it into your tooth socket by gently biting down once it is in its place.

If you cannot reinsert your tooth, try to keep it moist by putting it in a glass of milk or holding it in your mouth until you arrive at your office. 

Call us as soon as possible. The sooner you can be treated after a tooth has been knocked out, the better the chance your dentist will have of saving it.

Do you notice sudden moderate to severe swelling in your face, mouth, or neck, or are you experiencing severe pain or discomfort in or around your mouth?

Call us as soon as possible and follow these steps to alleviate pain in the meantime:

1. Apply a cold compress to your cheek on the area where you are feeling pain.
2. Take an over-the-counter pain medication.
3. Use salt water to flush the area that is in pain. This will help remove any debris that could be causing the toothache.

Please note that if the swelling is impacting your ability to breathe, you should seek emergency medical care at a hospital as soon as possible.
