We see patients for many types of emergency situations, including:

• A Knocked Out Tooth. We will do everything that we can to help save your tooth. Any teeth that have been knocked out have a much better chance of being reattached if you act quickly. Make sure to save the tooth and preserve it in milk. DO NOT touch the tooth by the root, as this can keep it from being able to be reinserted.
• Chipped or Cracked Teeth. Similar to teeth that have been knocked out, we can also often save teeth that have sustained other damages like chips or cracks, if you save the pieces. Keep these teeth soaked in milk, not water, and bring them to our office when you arrive for your appointment.
• Severe Toothaches. If you have a tooth that’s in constant pain it may be a sign of something worse, such as an infection or abscessed tooth. It is vital that an issue like this gets treated immediately so that you don’t have to live in constant discomfort, and the situation doesn’t get progressively worse.
• Broken Dental or Orthodontic Work. Broken dental or orthodontic work like damaged braces, implants, or crowns are painful, and prevent your devices from serving their intended purpose. Come into our office so that it can stop being a liability and we can get your dental or orthodontic work back on track.
• Loose Permanent Teeth. Your permanent teeth should never feel loose in your mouth. Whether your teeth have become loose due to an injury or advanced gum disease, it’s important to treat your teeth as quickly as possible. Acting now might be the difference between preserving a tooth and losing it.

These are not the only emergency conditions we can treat. If you think you are experiencing an emergency, the most important thing you can do is contact our office right away.
