What Qualifies as a
Dental Emergency?

Not sure if it’s urgent? Here are the most common dental emergencies we treat — and why acting fast matters:

Toothaches: Persistent or sharp pain could mean infection or decay. Early treatment prevents serious complications.
Broken or Chipped Teeth: Protect your inner tooth from further damage or exposure. We offer same-day restorative options.
Knocked-Out or Loose Teeth: Time-sensitive! We may be able to reattach or stabilize the tooth if treated promptly.
Cracked Teeth: Cracks can deepen quickly, risking infection or the need for extraction. Don’t delay.
Tooth Abscesses: These infections are serious and can spread. Look for swelling, pain, or pus near the gums.
Loose Crowns, Bridges, or Fillings: Protect the exposed tooth and prevent future damage with fast re-cementing or replacement.
Bleeding Gums or Soft Tissue Injuries: From sports injuries to accidental trauma, quick care prevents infection and promotes healing
