What Is a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies can strike at any time and without warning, no matter how careful or diligently one takes in protecting his/her smile. Unfortunately, these situations often leave patients in extreme discomfort; therefore it's wise to come in as soon as a problem arises in our relaxed yet highly comfortable setting for immediate treatment.
Why Do You Need Treatment For a Dental Emergency?
Emergency dental situations can quickly worsen without proper treatment; what may have started out as something minor may quickly escalate into something severe and require immediate medical intervention. Furthermore, infections may arise alongside your initial concern, necessitating prompt and timely assistance as soon as possible - our practice offers prompt solutions for every dental emergency that arises.

What Are Some of the More Common Dental Emergencies?
Everyday we treat various dental emergencies. Therefore, it is wise to come in immediately should anything seem amiss - some common emergencies include:
• Severe toothache and pain
• Abscessing and infections
• Broken or cracked teeth
• Lost fillings, crowns or bridge work
• Broken or lost appliances (dentures, night guards)
What Can Be Expected While Undergoing Dental Emergency Treatment?
At your first appointment, we will ask about your symptoms and assess if an x-ray is necessary; once taken we will have our specialists analyze both it and your teeth to pinpoint its source before providing treatments immediately to reduce further worsening of symptoms. In cases where active infections exist at that time of appointment we will prescribe antibiotics as necessary.
If you suspect an emergency and wish to come immediately to our office, call right away so one of our skilled staff members can offer additional assistance.
