Dental Emergencies

​We understand that dental emergencies cannot be predicted. Dental emergencies can be scary and painful, but it's important to stay calm and take action quickly.  Types of dental emergencies include:

​

Severe Toothache

Toothaches can be strange. Sometimes they come on very slowly, over the course of a few days or even weeks. Other times, they come on suddenly and severely, waking you up with severe pain in the middle of your workday or in the middle of the night. No matter when severe toothaches strike, the pain can be unbearable. Sometimes a simple ice pack, heating pad or anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen can relieve pain until you can get to the dentist. Other times nothing relieves the pain. When that happens, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

​

Tooth Completely or Almost Knocked Out

Teeth can get knocked out for a variety of reasons, such as vehicular accidents, sports accidents, physical altercations, and even just weird accidents. If you or your child have this situation, it’s imperative that you see your dentist right away. The survival of the permanent tooth may depend on quick action.​​
