How We Can Help
Emergency dental care requires both speed and deep experience. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to manage urgent dental problems that need immediate attention. From severe tooth pain to facial trauma, your care is guided by clear judgment and careful planning.
Same-day appointments are available whenever possible, with flexible scheduling for urgent needs. Advanced imaging allows the team to identify the problem quickly and begin treatment without delay. Throughout your visit, you’ll receive clear guidance, so you know what to expect.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
Some dental problems can wait, but others should be treated right away. A dental emergency involves pain, injury, or infection that may worsen without prompt care. Knowing when to call can help prevent lasting damage.
Common dental emergencies include
- Severe tooth pain or swelling
- Knocked-out teeth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Facial or jaw trauma
- Abscess or visible infection
- Bleeding that does not stop
If you are unsure, calling our office allows the team to guide you through the next step.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Taking the right steps early can help reduce complications. Staying calm and acting quickly matters while you wait to be seen.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency
- Rinse your mouth gently with water
- Use gauze and light pressure to manage bleeding
- Apply a cold pack to help control swelling
- Keep a knocked-out tooth moist and avoid touching the root
- Call our office right away for instructions
When to Seek Emergency Dental Care
Persistent pain that does not improve should always be evaluated. Teeth or jaws that appear broken or out of place also require urgent attention. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing is a medical concern and should never be ignored.
Signs of infection, including fever or spreading inflammation, may signal a serious problem. Acting quickly helps prevent complications and supports better outcomes. Early treatment protects both your oral health and overall well-being.

Common Questions
The emergency room can manage severe symptoms but does not provide dental treatment. Emergency dentistry allows oral surgeons to address the source of the problem directly. Calling our office first helps determine the best place for care.
Coverage depends on your insurance plan and the treatment needed. Our team can help review benefits once you arrive. Care should not be delayed due to insurance questions.
Wearing a mouthguard during sports, maintaining oral hygiene, and addressing dental issues early can help reduce risk. Regular evaluations allow problems to be treated before they become urgent.
