Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Tooth Pain: Persistent or severe tooth pain may signal an underlying issue such as decay, infection, or an abscess. Ignoring pain can allow problems to worsen — early evaluation is key.

Knocked-Out or Loose Teeth: Quick action after dental trauma can greatly impact the outcome. If a tooth has been knocked out or loosened, contact us right away for guidance.

Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Cracks and chips aren’t just cosmetic concerns — they can expose sensitive inner tooth structure and lead to pain or infection.

Lost Fillings or Crowns: When a filling or crown comes out, the tooth underneath is left vulnerable. Prompt care helps protect the tooth and prevent further damage.

Abscess or Infection: Dental infections can cause pain, swelling, and systemic health concerns if left untreated. Swelling, pus, or fever should always be evaluated promptly.

Soft Tissue Injuries or Bleeding: Injuries to the gums, lips, tongue, or cheeks can occur from accidents or biting hard objects and may require professional care.
