Frequently Asked Questions

Should I go to the ER or a dentist?

For dental pain, infections, or broken teeth, a dentist is usually the right place to start. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911.

Hospital emergency rooms typically focus on managing pain or infection and may prescribe medication, but they often cannot provide definitive dental treatment. If you are unable to reach a dentist right away or are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, the ER is appropriate — and we recommend contacting us as soon as possible afterward for follow-up care.

What if this happens after hours?

Call or text our office and follow the instructions provided. Our system will guide you on what to do next.

I’m not an existing patient — can I still be seen?

Yes. We welcome both new and existing patients who need urgent dental care.

‍

Do you see emergency patients the same day?

We do our best to accommodate same-day or next-available emergency appointments whenever possible.

What should I do if my child's baby tooth is knocked out?

Contact our office as soon as possible. The baby tooth should not be replanted because of the potential for subsequent damage to the developing permanent tooth.

What if a tooth is chipped or fractured?

Contact your dentist immediately. Quick action can save the tooth, prevent infection and reduce the need for extensive dental treatment. Rinse the mouth with water and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling if the lip also was injured. If you can find the broken tooth fragment, place it in cold milk or water and bring it with you to the dental office.

What about a severe blow to the head or jaw fracture?

You need immediate medical attention. Keep in mind that an emergency medical team might be able to reach you faster than you can get to the hospital. A severe head injury can be life-threatening.

What if my child has a toothache?

Call our office immediately. Over-the-counter children's pain medication, dosed according to your child's weight and age, might ease the symptoms. You may apply a cold compress or ice wrapped in a cloth to the face in the area of the pain, but do not put heat or aspirin on the sore area.

Can dental abscesses wait for a regular appointment?

No. Dental abscesses are serious infections that can spread and lead to life-threatening complications. If you suspect you have an abscess (you may notice a painful, pimple-like swelling on your gum), you should seek emergency dental care immediately.

How can I avoid dental emergencies?

While not all dental emergencies are preventable, you can:

Wear mouthguards during sports activities.
Avoid chewing hard candies, ice, or other hard foods.
Not use your teeth to cut or open objects.
Maintain regular dental check-ups and cleanings to detect and address potential issues early.
