Common Dental Emergencies
Reasons patients call us for urgent dental care.
The correct treatment depends on an examination and, when needed, dental imaging.
Swelling or possible infection
Dental swelling can worsen quickly. Call the office so the team can discuss the safest next step and available visit times.
Broken or cracked tooth
A fractured tooth may need protection, repair, root canal treatment, or extraction depending on the damage.
Lost filling or crown
A missing restoration can leave the tooth sensitive or vulnerable. Keep the area clean and call for an evaluation.
Dental trauma
Call promptly after an injury to a tooth, gums, or mouth. Some dental injuries are time-sensitive.
Pain when biting or chewing
Pain with pressure may be related to a crack, decay, inflammation, bite problem, or infection and should be examined.
What Happens at the Visit
Find the cause first, then discuss the safest next step.
Focused evaluation
The dentist evaluates the painful or injured area, your symptoms, and relevant medical and dental history.
Imaging when needed
Digital X-rays or other imaging may be recommended when clinically appropriate to evaluate the tooth, roots, bone, or surrounding structures.
Treatment plan
The team explains the findings and available options. Treatment may be completed the same day when appropriate and scheduling allows, or a follow-up visit may be needed.
Insurance & Payment
Do not let payment questions stop you from calling.
Bring your current dental insurance information. Coverage and network status vary by plan and must be verified.
Patients without insurance can still be evaluated and can ask the office about expected visit costs.
Sunbit, CareCredit, cards, cash, Weave Pay, and in-house payment arrangements may be available depending on treatment.
Emergency availability changes throughout the day. Calling is the fastest way to check the current schedule.
