Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies aren’t always immediately obvious —but when something’s off, you feel it.

This list covers some of the most common emergency treatments we handle in-office. It’s not exhaustive, but it can give you a good idea of what falls under emergency dental care and what we may be able to help with. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, just reach out—we can point you in the right direction.

🦷 Toothaches
From sudden sensitivity to deep, ongoing pain—we’ll assess what’s causing it and walk you through your options.

🦷 Cracked or Fractured Teeth
Whether it’s a small crack or something more serious, we’ll evaluate the damage and determine the most appropriate next step.

🦷 Chipped Front Teeth
Accidents, hard food, or wear—chipped teeth can usually be restored and protected to prevent further damage.

🦷 Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsed Tooth)
If you act quickly, a dislodged tooth may be salvageable. Timing and proper handling are key.

🦷 Loose Teeth or Trauma from Impact
Injuries to the mouth—sports-related or otherwise—can cause movement in the teeth or damage to surrounding structures.

🦷 Swollen Gums or Abscesses
These may be signs of infection or advanced decay. We’ll examine the area to determine what kind of care is needed.

🦷 Broken or Lost Fillings/Crowns
When existing dental work fails or falls out, it’s important to have the area evaluated to protect the underlying tooth.

🦷 Jaw Pain or TMJ Flare-Ups
Discomfort when chewing or opening your mouth could be related to jaw joint dysfunction or muscle tension.

🦷 Wisdom Tooth Pain
Pressure, discomfort, or swelling near the back of the mouth may indicate that wisdom teeth are impacted or inflamed.

🦷 Canker Sores or Irritated Spots
If a sore isn’t healing or is interfering with eating or speaking, we can take a closer look and offer guidance.

🦷 Gum or Soft Tissue Lesions
New or unusual spots, patches, or lumps in the mouth should be evaluated—even if they aren’t painful.

🦷 Infection or Facial Swelling
Swelling in the mouth or face can be a sign of infection and should be examined to determine the best course of action.
