Frequently Asked Questions
Any dental issue requiring immediate attention to stop bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth is considered an emergency.
Yes, we handle a wide range of dental emergencies. If you're uncertain, call us and we'll advise you.
For most dental emergencies, it's best to visit a dentist as they are equipped to handle specific dental issues. However, for life-threatening emergencies, such as severe infections or trauma, go to the emergency room.
We strive to see emergency patients the same day they call.
Regular dental checkups, maintaining good oral hygiene, and wearing mouthguards during sports can help prevent many dental emergencies.
Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently use dental floss to remove any food caught between your teeth. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the tooth or gums. Use over-the-counter pain relievers if needed, and call us immediately for an appointment.
Yes, a lost crown can be considered an emergency as it can lead to further damage or discomfort. Keep the crown in a safe place and avoid chewing on the affected side. Contact us as soon as possible to get it re-cemented, if possible.
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If possible, gently rinse it without scrubbing and reinsert it into the socket. If that's not possible, store it in a container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your emergency appointment.
