Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies can happen anytime, and at our practice, we’re here to provide immediate care when you need it most. Whether it’s a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, we make it a priority to offer prompt and effective treatment.

Common Dental Emergencies

• Toothaches: Often caused by infections or injuries. If you have a sudden toothache, call us right away. We’ll help relieve your pain and identify the problem.
• Knocked-Out or Cracked Teeth: If a tooth gets knocked out, it’s crucial to see a dentist as soon as possible. While you’re on your way, try to place the tooth back in its socket without touching the root, or keep it in a glass of milk or a tooth preservation kit. For severe injuries, visit the emergency room.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, call us immediately—even if you’re not an existing patient. We’re here to help. Our answering service will connect you with our dentists after hours.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

You can take steps to avoid future dental issues:

• Avoid Bad Habits: Stop biting nails or chewing on hard objects like pens.
• Watch Your Diet: Reduce consumption of hard candies, ice, and sticky foods that can damage your teeth.
• Wear a Mouthguard: Athletes and kids should use mouthguards during sports. For the best protection, get a custom mouthguard from your dentist.

Custom Mouthguards for Sports

If store-bought mouthguards don’t fit well, we can create custom options for better comfort and safety. A properly fitted mouthguard can help prevent serious injuries, so remember to bring it to your dental check-ups for adjustments.

By following these tips, you can avoid many common dental emergencies. But if you ever need urgent care, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always ready to help.
