Our experienced team is dedicated to providing compassionate and efficient emergency dental care, ensuring that you receive the immediate attention and relief you deserve.

What is Considered a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency refers to any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to alleviate pain, save a tooth, or prevent further complications. Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe toothache or dental pain
• Knocked-out or avulsed tooth
• Fractured, cracked, or chipped tooth
• Dental abscess or infection
• Injury to the soft tissues of the mouth
• Lost or damaged dental restoration, such as a filling or crown

When Should I Go to the ER vs. the Dentist?

Whether you should seek emergency dental care or visit the emergency room (ER) depends on the nature and severity of your dental emergency. As a general guideline:

• Dental emergencies requiring immediate attention, such as severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, or facial trauma, are best addressed by an emergency dentist. Dental professionals have the expertise and specialized equipment to provide targeted care for dental-related emergencies.
• In cases of severe facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or other life-threatening conditions accompanying a dental emergency, it is advisable to visit the nearest emergency room or call 911.

Why do I Need an Emergency Dentist?

Having access to an emergency dentist is essential for several reasons:

1. Timely Relief: An emergency dentist can provide prompt pain relief and alleviate discomfort associated with dental emergencies, enabling you to regain comfort and function.
2. Preserving Teeth: Immediate treatment by an emergency dentist increases the chances of saving a knocked-out or avulsed tooth, as well as preventing further damage or complications from dental trauma.
3. Expertise and Specialized Care: Emergency dentists possess the knowledge, skills, and specialized equipment necessary to address urgent dental issues effectively. They are experienced in handling emergencies and providing tailored solutions for your specific needs.
4. Preventing Further Complications: Prompt treatment of dental emergencies can help prevent the progression of infections, alleviate pain, and avoid potential complications that may arise from delaying care.
