Emergency Dental Services

Crowns are built to last, but they can occasionally fall off your tooth prematurely. If this happens to you, don't panic. Call our office right away for an appointment. 

In the meantime, find your crown, rinse it gently with warm water, and place it in a container to bring to your appointment. In many situations, we can reattach your existing crown and save you the money and time of having a new one created. 

If a filling falls out of your tooth, call us to make an appointment as soon as possible. Don't delay getting a replacement filling as your tooth is susceptible to additional decay due to the exposed hole. 

Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected side until you get the filling replaced.

Do you have a broken or chipped tooth? Try to find the missing tooth, put it in a clean container, and bring it to your appointment. Your dentist can potentially reattach it. Whether the piece is found or not, call our office right away to have it repaired.

Are you experiencing moderate to severe swelling, pain, or discomfort in your mouth or jaw area?

Call us as soon as possible. You can also take the following steps to help alleviate some discomfort:

1. Apply a cold compress to your cheek, on the area where you are feeling pain. 
2. Take an over-the-counter pain medication.
3. If the pain is coming from inside your mouth, use salt water to flush the area that is in pain.

Please note that if the swelling is impacting your ability to breathe, you should seek emergency medical care at a hospital as soon as possible.
