Sudden Pain

You Know Something Is Wrong

The throbbing that wakes you at 3am. The tooth that cracked on a sandwich. The swelling that was not there yesterday. Waiting rarely makes any of it better, and it usually makes treatment bigger.

Why Waiting Hurts

Small Problems Do Not Stay Small

A crack lets bacteria reach the inside of the tooth. An untreated abscess spreads. A lost crown leaves the tooth underneath exposed to pressure and temperature. The window where a simple fix is still possible closes fast, and a knocked-out tooth has the shortest window of all.

Call Us and We Will Get You Seen

No lecture, no pressure, no judgment about how long it has been.

What We Treat

What We See Most

  • Severe or persistent toothache, especially pain that wakes you at night
  • Broken, chipped, or cracked tooth
  • Knocked-out tooth, the most time-sensitive of all
  • Lost crown or filling
  • Dental abscess, swelling, or infection

Not sure if it counts as an emergency? Call. We would rather take a look than have you wait it out.

First Aid

Knocked-Out Tooth? Do This Now

Keep the tooth in a small container of milk, or hold it gently between your cheek and gum. Do not scrub it and do not touch the root. Then call us immediately. Time is the single biggest factor in saving the tooth.
