Emergency Services
Dental emergencies sometimes occur when least expected. Perhaps You’re eating something and suddenly your tooth cracks, or you wake up with searing tooth pain or swelling. Many people go straight to the emergency room in circumstances such as this; but visiting your emergency dentist may be more beneficial and effective for urgent dental care.

Common Dental Emergencies
Many patients come to our dental office for the following dental emergencies:
Sudden Tooth Pain
A sudden toothache should never be ignored as it can be caused by a deep cavity, an abscessed or impacted tooth, or other serious dental issues. If you have sudden and unrelenting tooth pain, we can promptly treat the condition, prevent further damage from occurring, and alleviate any potential infection.
Chipped or Fractured Tooth
Biting a hard object or sudden trauma to the mouth can chip or break a tooth. A broken tooth can cause tremendous pain and lead to other issues if not treated quickly. This can also happen if you have a cavity you were unaware of and the tooth’s internal structure is weak.
Lost Tooth
Sometimes a patient can lose a tooth due to trauma. When a tooth is knocked out due to trauma, it is critical dental emergency. If we act fast, we can sometimes replace the tooth to its socket. Other times, we may need to replace the tooth with a bridge or dental implant and crown.
To save a lost or knocked-out tooth, quickly rinse it with lukewarm water and avoid touching the root. You may try to place it back in the socket, but if you cannot, keep it in a container of milk so it remains moist. Most importantly, contact our dental office immediately.
Abscessed Tooth
An abscessed tooth can be painful and dangerous as it can lead to a serious oral infection. A dental abscess is a pocket of pus in the tooth caused by an infection from an untreated cavity, injury, or previous dental restoration. 
Symptoms often include swelling, pain, fever, and bad breath. Your emergency dentist can relieve your pain and treat the tooth quickly and effectively. Sometimes, the abscess can simply. Other times, however, a root canal or extraction may be necessary to protect oral health.
