Whether it’s a broken tooth, sudden pain, or a dental injury, we are here to help you find relief and protect your smile.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency

Some dental situations need attention right away. Contact our office promptly if you are experiencing:

  • A knocked-out tooth
  • A loosened or partially dislodged tooth
  • A broken or cracked tooth
  • A severe toothache
  • A lost crown causing pain or sensitivity
  • A lost filling causing pain or sensitivity
  • Swelling in the jaw, gums, or face
  • A dental injury resulting from an accident or trauma

If you are unsure whether your situation is a dental emergency, call our office and our team will help you determine the best next steps.

What Can Usually Wait for a Scheduled Visit

Not every dental concern requires urgent care, and knowing the difference can save you unnecessary stress. A minor chip that is not causing pain, mild tooth sensitivity, a lost filling with no discomfort, or a routine broken wire on braces are generally situations that can wait for a scheduled appointment. If you are ever in doubt, do not hesitate to reach out and we will help you assess your situation over the phone.
