WHY IT MATTERS
Dental pain often intensifies the longer it goes untreated, so prompt care gives you relief and protects your smile.
Prompt treatment means less time spent in discomfort.
Quick care after an injury improves the chance of saving a damaged tooth.
Untreated infections can spread to the face, jaw, or bloodstream.
Addressing problems early often prevents bigger procedures down the road.

Pick it up by the crown, rinse gently if dirty, try placing it back in the socket or store in milk, and call us immediately. Acting within 30-60 minutes gives the best chance of saving it.
Severe, persistent pain, swelling, fever, or a bad taste often signal infection. Call us for guidance if over-the-counter relief isn't helping.
We work hard to see emergency patients the same day. Call right away so we can find the soonest opening.
Keep the restoration if you can, avoid chewing on that side, and call us so we can evaluate the tooth.
It depends on severity. A chip causing pain, sharp edges, or exposed inner tooth should be seen promptly.
