Call Us Now

Call first. We keep time available for patients dealing with pain, and we will do our best to get you in the same day. Explaining your situation when you call helps us prepare for your appointment.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency

If you are in pain or have experienced a sudden dental problem, it likely qualifies. Common situations we treat on an emergency basis include:

• Severe tooth pain or a toothache that is not improving
• A broken or cracked tooth
• A lost crown or filling
• A knocked-out tooth
• A dental abscess: significant swelling, fever, or severe pain localized to a tooth or the jaw
• A chipped tooth that is affecting your bite or causing pain

What to Do Before You Arrive

Calling us is the first step. While you are waiting to come in, here is some general guidance for common situations:

A Note on Hours

Our emergency care is provided during regular business hours, Monday through Thursday. We are not an after-hours emergency clinic and cannot take calls outside of those hours.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, severe swelling that is affecting your airway or ability to swallow, or any situation that feels medically urgent, please go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Dental pain can be severe, but some presentations require immediate medical attention that a dental office is not equipped to provide.
