Dental Emergencies

Pain

Dental Pain is the most common emergency we see in our office. When you have dental pain, you should not wait to se if it goes away. You should call the office ASAP. Even if you don't need tobe seen or don't want to be seen because the time is inconvenient, you should leave a message on the answering machine so we can anticipate your needs and how we can help you in the most efficient way.

When you call, we would like to know where in your mouth it hurts (upper or lower and left or right or front), when the pain started, what makes it hurt, or if it is spontaneous pain.

Knocked Out Tooth

A knocked out tooth or bitten tongue can cause panic in any parent, but quick thinking and staying calm are the best ways to approach such common dental emergencies and prevent additional unnecessary damage and costly dental restoration. This includes taking measures such as application of cold compresses to reduce swelling, and of course, contacting our office as soon as possible.
