A dental emergency involves any issue requiring immediate care to stop pain, save a tooth, or control infection. Common examples include severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, swelling, bleeding that won’t stop, or signs of infection like fever. Quick treatment can prevent complications and improve outcomes. If you’re unsure, call your dentist right away—prompt guidance ensures you get the care you need when it matters most for your oral health.

What should I do if I have a knocked out tooth?
If you have a knocked-out tooth, act quickly. Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root, and gently rinse it if dirty. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it moist in milk or saliva. Call our office immediately and come in within 30 minutes. Prompt care can often save the tooth and restore your smile comfortably and safely. We are here to help.
