What to do before you get here
Knocked-out tooth: pick it up by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently and try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk. Getting to a dentist within an hour gives the best chance of saving it.
Broken tooth: rinse with warm water, save any pieces and use a cold compress on the cheek for swelling. Toothache: rinse, floss gently to remove trapped food and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Never put aspirin directly on the gum.
When to go to the ER instead
Go to the emergency room or call 911 for facial swelling that spreads toward the eye or neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high fever with dental pain, or a serious facial injury. These can be signs of a spreading infection that needs immediate medical care.

Emergency Dentistry: common questions
My tooth got knocked out: what do I do?
Handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Call us immediately, because reimplantation works best within the hour.
Is a severe toothache really an emergency?
Yes. Throbbing pain, swelling, or fever can signal an abscess that needs prompt treatment. Don't wait for it to pass. Infections spread.
What if it happens outside office hours?
Call our office line. The voicemail includes guidance for after-hours emergencies, and we prioritize urgent callbacks for the next opening.
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
We keep time for urgent problems and see patients the same day whenever the schedule allows. Call the office first so we can fit you in.
Do you treat emergencies for new patients?
Yes. You don't need to be an existing patient to call us with a dental emergency.
Is a chipped tooth an emergency?
A small chip without pain can usually wait a few days. A large break, sharp pain or a tooth that is sensitive to air should be seen promptly.
