Yes, if you wake up with a severe toothache or break your tooth when you bite down on something, we’ll do our best to see you in our office as soon as possible, even if you aren’t an existing patient.
Is My Situation a Dental Emergency?
We often hear patients say that they aren’t sure whether their situation is an emergency or if it can wait.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so we encourage you to contact us for advice.
Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat:
- Knocked-out tooth — Time is critical when your tooth gets completely knocked out, so call us right away.
- Severe tooth pain — A toothache that doesn’t go away on its own might mean you have a dental infection. We recommend calling our office.
- Broken tooth or restoration — If you break or chip your tooth or lose a filling, harmful bacteria can enter the area. It’s best to make an appointment.
- Soft tissue injury — For an injury to your cheek, lips, or gums, apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Then, contact our office for the next steps.
