Our Emergency Dentistry Services
After assessing your injury or condition, we will design a treatment plan that will address pain, swelling, bleeding, and infection as quickly and effectively as possible. Some of the most common emergency dentistry services we perform are:
- Root Canal Therapy – Root canal therapy relieves dental infection that has reached the tooth nerve or root. We will clean out the tooth canals, sanitizing and sealing them to prevent future infections. Then we will place a filling or crown to protect your damaged tooth and restore its function.
- Tooth Extractions – If a dental cavity, infection, or trauma is too severe and we cannot save your natural tooth, we will extract it to relieve pain and protect your oral and overall health. We also offer wisdom teeth extractions.
- Infection Control – If you have a dental abscess or infection, we will remove infected tissue and provide antibiotic treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.
- Dental Fillings – Dental fillings restore a tooth that is damaged by tooth decay.
- Dental Restorations – Dental restorations, like fillings, can restore the health, structure, and function of a tooth or replace a missing tooth. We offer dental crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, and inlays and onlays.
- Tooth Reimplantation – If you visit us quickly, we may be able to successfully re-implant a knocked-out tooth.
- Soft Tissue Repair – We may need to place stitches to repair injury or damage to the cheek, tongue, or gums.

FAQs About Emergency Dentistry
You need emergency dental care if you have severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, infection, trauma to your tooth or a knocked-out tooth, or other time-sensitive dental issues that threaten your safety and health.
A dental emergency is any situation that affects your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires urgent care to prevent serious health problems. This includes bleeding, pain, infection, tooth damage, and knocked-out teeth.
The first thing that you should do is call our office so that we can assess your symptoms and condition and determine whether we can treat you or if you should go to a hospital. We can then give you tips for addressing pain, bleeding, or swelling until your appointment. We may recommend an ice pack, cold or hot compress, or rinsing your mouth with warm salt water to address pain and swelling. For bleeding, clean the area and apply pressure with sterile gauze for 10-15 minutes, or place a wet tea bag on the injured area. If you have a knocked-out tooth, rinse it in cool tap water and place it back in the socket, between your teeth and cheek, or in a glass of milk or tooth preservation liquid. If you have a cracked or damaged tooth, protect sharp edges with a piece of sugar-free gum or dental wax.
We cannot treat severe oral or facial trauma, such as broken jaws, major bleeding, deep wounds, or complex injuries. If you have a head injury, trouble breathing, chest pain, an allergic reaction, or symptoms of sepsis, go to the emergency room or call 911 right away.
We do everything possible to provide same-day appointments for dental emergencies.
