Any situation involving severe pain, swelling, bleeding that won't stop, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess, or significant trauma to the mouth qualifies as a dental emergency. When in doubt, call us, we'd rather assess and reassure you than have you wait on something serious.
We hold same-day slots Monday through Friday 8am-6pm and Saturday 9am-4pm specifically for urgent situations. When you call, tell us it's an emergency and we will prioritize your appointment. For severe swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, go to your nearest emergency room immediately.
Time is critical, a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of successful reimplantation within 30-60 minutes. Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root). Rinse gently with water, do not scrub. If possible, gently reinsert it into the socket. Otherwise, keep it moist: in milk, saline, or between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately.
