Dental Emergencies We Treat

Pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Don’t ignore it. We’ll find the cause and help you feel better.

01

Severe Toothaches

Tooth pain is often a sign of infection, decay, or a crack that needs attention right away.

02

Knocked-Out Teeth

Time is critical. If you get here quickly, ideally within 30–60 minutes, we can often reattach the tooth.

03

Broken or Chipped Teeth

Even small cracks can lead to pain or infection. We’ll repair it with a filling, bonding, crown, or veneer.

04

Lost Crowns or Fillings

An exposed tooth can be very sensitive. We’ll replace it quickly, and may be able to re-cement your crown.

05

Swelling & Infection

Swelling in your gums or face, or a fever, can be signs of an infection that needs prompt care.

Before You Get Here

What to Do Right Now

Call us first, then follow these steps to protect your tooth and ease discomfort until your visit.

Toothache

Take an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or Aleve, and use a cold compress for swelling. Note what makes the pain worse, like hot or cold foods, to help us diagnose it faster.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Hold it by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with warm water, no scrubbing or soap. Place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk, saliva, or between your cheek and gum. Don’t store it in plain water.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze if it’s bleeding. Avoid chewing on that tooth, and cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum.

Lost Crown or Filling

Avoid chewing on that side. If it’s sensitive, you can temporarily reattach a crown with toothpaste or dental cement from the pharmacy. Bring it with you.

These steps aren’t a substitute for professional care. Call (480) 576-7100 for a same-day visit.
