What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Many people aren’t sure whether their dental issue is urgent enough to call — and that’s completely understandable. If something feels wrong, give us a call. Our team can help assess your symptoms over the phone and guide you on the best next step.
Some of the most common reasons for an emergency visit include:
Severe or persistent tooth pain
Severe or lingering tooth pain that radiates toward the jaw or ear can sometimes indicate infection or deep decay.
Dental abscess or infection
Swelling, tenderness, fever, or a bump near the gums may signal infection and should be evaluated promptly.
Broken or fractured tooth
Cracks, chips, or breaks should be evaluated promptly, especially if pain is involved.
Knocked-out tooth
A knocked-out permanent tooth needs immediate care for the best chance of saving it.
Lost filling or crown
Leaving a tooth exposed can increase sensitivity and the risk of further damage.
Broken orthodontic appliance
Loose brackets, poking wires, or damaged aligners can cause discomfort and interrupt treatment.
Why Prompt Treatment Matters
It’s understandable to hope a dental problem will improve on its own — but many emergencies tend to worsen without treatment. Small cracks can deepen, infections can spread, and discomfort often becomes more difficult to manage over time.
Prompt evaluation is often what allows us to treat a problem more conservatively and comfortably before it develops into something more complex.
We'll do everything we can to get you in quickly, address the immediate problem, and put a plan in place to take care of whatever's behind it.
