Our dentist and team uses advanced technology to quickly diagnose and address these urgent needs, allowing you to receive comprehensive care in one convenient visit.

Steps to Take During a Dental Emergency
If you experience a dental emergency, follow these steps to minimize discomfort and ensure a better outcome:

• For Toothaches: Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any trapped debris. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the tooth or gums.
• For Broken or Chipped Teeth: Rinse your mouth and the broken pieces with warm water. Apply a cold compress on the outside of the mouth to reduce swelling.
• For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Keep the tooth moist by placing it back in the socket without touching the root, if possible, or storing it in milk. Immediate care is essential to increase the chance of saving the tooth.
• For a Lost Filling or Crown: Use dental cement (available at pharmacies) to temporarily cover the area. Avoid sticky foods until you receive professional care.

We are committed to making your emergency dental visit as efficient and stress-free as possible. We accommodate same-day appointments whenever feasible and ensure that patients experiencing intense discomfort or injury receive immediate assistance.
