A dental emergency is any situation that requires urgent attention to stop pain, save a tooth, or treat an infection. Common cases we see during Same Day Emergency Appointments include:
- Severe toothache or abscess
- Knocked-out or loose tooth
- Cracked, broken, or chipped tooth
- Lost or broken filling or crown
- Swelling or infection in the gums or jaw
- Damaged dentures or dental appliances
- Impacted wisdom teeth (Wisdom Tooth Removal)
If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call us. We’ll advise you and schedule a Same Day Appointment if needed.
