Emergency Dental Services

Crowns are built to last, but they can occasionally fall off your tooth prematurely. If this happens to you, don't panic. Call us right away for an appointment. 

In the meantime, find your crown (if you can), rinse it gently with warm water and place it in a container to bring to your appointment. In many situations, we may be able to simply reattach it rather than creating a new one. 

You should make an appointment to get your crown fixed as soon as possible. If your tooth causes you any discomfort in the meantime, you can use some temporary dental cement or wax to cover it until you can see us.

If a filling falls out of your tooth, call us to make an appointment as soon as possible. Don't delay getting a replacement filling. Your tooth is susceptible to additional decay due to the exposed hole. 

Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side until you get the filling replaced.

Try to find the missing piece, put it in a clean container and bring it to your appointment. Your dentist can potentially reattach it. Whether you find the piece or not, call us right away to have it repaired.

If you can locate your knocked-out tooth, pick it up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it with warm water before re-inserting it into your tooth socket. Once in place, gently bite down to hold your tooth in place. 

If you cannot reinsert your tooth, place it in a container of milk and bring it to your appointment. If you're experiencing pain, you can apply a cold compress against your cheek. 

Call us as soon as possible. The sooner you can be treated after a tooth has been knocked out, the better the chance your dentist will have of saving it.

If your tooth cannot be saved, we offer restorative options, such as bridges, that can be used to replace your missing tooth. 

Are you experiencing moderate to severe swelling, pain or discomfort in your mouth or jaw area?

Call us as soon as possible and follow these steps to alleviate pain in the meantime:

1. Apply a cold compress to your cheek, on the area where you are feeling pain. 
2. Take an over-the-counter pain medication.
3. If the pain is coming from inside your mouth, use salt water to flush the area that is in pain.

Please note that if the swelling is impacting your ability to breathe, you should seek emergency medical care at a hospital as soon as possible.
