Feel Comfortable Even During Dental Disasters

Dental crises are already stressful without adding treatment anxiety. We offer gentle inhaled sedation with laughing gas to help you relax during your emergency care, if needed. This safe option works within minutes to create a sense of calm. The effects wear off shortly after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home once your emergency is resolved.

Your physical comfort is always a priority, especially during urgent visits. Our treatment rooms feature comforts that transform emergency care into a pleasant experience.

You can cozy up with soft pillows and warm blankets while headphones let you enjoy calming music and protective glasses shield your eyes from overhead lights. These simple touches help reduce stress during what would otherwise be a tense situation.

Your dentist will assess your condition using technology like digital X-rays, so we can provide the appropriate treatment. Depending on the nature of your emergency, this may include a tooth filling, dental crown, or other restorative treatment.

Know What to Do Before Reaching Our Office

It's important to take the proper steps before your emergency appointment.

For toothaches, rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers. If you've broken a tooth, save any fragments and rinse your mouth with warm water.

For a knocked-out tooth, hold it by the crown (not the root) and gently rinse without scrubbing. Try placing it back in the socket or store it in milk or saliva. If a filling or crown comes loose, keep the restoration and apply dental cement from a drugstore as temporary protection.

Soft tissue injuries like cuts to your gums, tongue, or cheeks should be gently cleaned with warm water. Apply gentle pressure with gauze or a tea bag to control bleeding. Cold compresses on the outside of your mouth can reduce swelling and pain for most emergencies.

Absolute best dentists and oral hygienists that I've visited in the past 20 years, they are also the most professional and friendliest. The atmosphere is that of positivity and wellness and everybody seems to love their job and love their customers. ALL STAFF MEMBERS do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and accommodated. The prices seem to be at or below what I'm used to ( I've lived all over this country) but the results are much better. Everybody greets you as you walk by and everybody offers you a salutation as you leave. They give you reminder cards, reminder texts and emails if you ask. They even call you if they haven't heard back from you. You're not going to miss an appointment with them and you're never going to regret going. I will never go to another dental office, Dr. Nair is amazing, very nice and caring, she is looking out for your best interest.😁

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies

What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, loose or broken teeth, lost or broken fillings or crowns, facial swelling, and soft tissue injuries causing significant bleeding. Anything causing severe pain, potential tooth loss, or infection risk should be treated promptly to prevent complications.
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
We reserve space in our daily schedule specifically for emergencies and typically offer same-day appointments for patients in pain. Call us early in the day when possible and we'll get you into the office as soon as we can.
Will my dental emergency be expensive to treat?
Costs vary depending on the specific emergency and necessary treatment. Many dental insurance plans provide better coverage for emergency care than elective procedures. We offer several payment options, including financing plans for unexpected dental expenses. Our focus is getting you out of pain first.
