Relief first
At your visit, we find the cause and treat the pain or infection.
Lasting repair
Once you’re comfortable, we plan any follow-up care the tooth needs.
What to do before you arrive
Knocked-out tooth
Hold it by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently without scrubbing, then put it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Call us straight away.
Severe toothache
Rinse with warm water and floss gently. Use a cold compress for swelling, and don’t put aspirin on the gum.
Broken or chipped tooth
Save any pieces and rinse your mouth. Press gauze on any bleeding and use a cold compress, then call us.
Common questions
All FAQsWhat should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Hold it by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently and keep it in milk. Then call us right away, because time matters.
When should I go to the hospital instead?
Go to the emergency department for facial swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious injury.
Can I be seen if I’m not a patient yet?
Yes. We see both new and existing patients for dental emergencies.
What should I bring?
A list of any medications you take and your dental insurance details, if you have them.
