Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe Toothache and Dental Pain
Pain may be caused by infection, decay, or trauma. We quickly assess the source and provide relief, which may include antibiotics, root canal therapy, or extraction if necessary.
Knocked-Out or Chipped Teeth
If a tooth is knocked out, place it in milk or inside your cheek and seek immediate care. Fast treatment offers the best chance of saving the tooth and restoring your smile.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
If a filling or crown falls out, keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side. We can re-cement or replace restorations quickly to protect your tooth.
Dental Abscesses and Infections
Warning signs include fever, swelling, and pus. Immediate care is crucial to prevent the spread of infection. Treatment may involve antibiotics, drainage, or a root canal.
Gum Injuries and Bleeding
Caused by trauma or gum disease, bleeding gums need prompt evaluation. We stop the bleeding, treat the cause, and protect your gum health.
