When to See an Emergency Dentist

Dental emergencies can strike at the worst times—during dinner, before work, or even while on vacation. Here are some common situations that require a call to our office:

• Severe toothaches or persistent dental pain
• Knocked-out or broken teeth
• Swelling or abscesses in the gums
• Chipped or fractured dental restorations
• Bleeding that doesn’t stop
• Infections causing fever or swollen lymph nodes

In any of these cases, immediate care from our emergency dentist can reduce complications and save your smile. Our same-day appointments ensure that you're not left waiting in discomfort.
