Emergency Dental Care

What constitutes a dental emergency, and when should you seek care? If it feels urgent, it probably is, so give our office a call. We'll try to schedule you as soon as possible. Dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes. Something like a toothache, a tooth is really sensitive to cold or hot or pressure. Some dental emergencies, such as a tooth coming out of the socket time is of the essence, so give us a call. Our priority is going to be getting you out of pain and stabilizing the situation and planning any follow-up care thereafter, if needed. With dental emergencies getting in sooner than later is your best bet. For example, if you have a dental infection that needs to be addressed rapidly that can be addressed by taking a tooth out or root canal, putting on some antibiotics. Preventing the infection from growing, spreading throughout the body is critical and it can avoid more invasive procedures in the future on the tooth.
