If you're in significant pain, have visible damage to a tooth, or notice swelling, bleeding, or signs of infection, it's likely an emergency. When in doubt, call our office—we’ll help determine if you need immediate care.

While some emergencies are unavoidable, many can be prevented by maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding chewing hard objects (like ice or pens), and visiting the dentist regularly for exams and cleanings.
Depending on the issue, treatment may include pain relief, dental fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, tooth extractions, or antibiotics for infection. In trauma cases, we may also perform splinting or reattachment of knocked-out teeth.
