Seeking care right away can prevent complications, reduce the risk of infection, and often save your natural tooth. With fast, compassionate care, emergency dentistry helps you get back to smiling comfortably and confidently. We do offer same-day emergency appointments during our standard office hours.

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any issue involving severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or a knocked-out or broken tooth that requires immediate attention. Signs like facial swelling, infection, or mouth trauma should never be ignored; prompt care can relieve discomfort and prevent bigger problems.
On the other hand, minor tooth sensitivity, small chips without pain, or a lost filling without discomfort are typically not emergencies, though they should still be addressed soon.
If you’re ever unsure, give our office a call. We’re happy to help you determine the urgency.
