First aid
What to do right now
Knocked-out tooth
Pick it up by the crown — never the root. Rinse gently, try to reseat it, or keep it in milk. Call us immediately: the first hour matters most.
Severe toothache
Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to clear trapped debris, take OTC pain relief (never aspirin on the gum), and call us.
Broken tooth or crown
Save every piece. Cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum. Our on-site lab can often remake crowns same-day.
Why call us
Urgent care without the urgent-care runaround
Hospital ERs can prescribe antibiotics and painkillers, but they can't fix teeth. We diagnose the actual problem with digital X-rays, relieve the pain at its source, and — thanks to our on-site lab — can often complete the permanent repair the same day.
- Same-day appointments reserved for emergencies
- On-site lab — broken crowns remade in hours, not weeks
- Root canals, extractions and repairs in one office
- Sedation options if anxiety is part of the emergency
FAQs
Common questions
Is my problem really an emergency?
If you're in significant pain, something broke, or a tooth is loose or knocked out — call. Worst case, we reassure you and book a routine visit. Waiting is the only wrong move, because dental problems compound.
What if it happens after hours or on a weekend?
Call the office line and follow the instructions for after-hours guidance. For facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, go to the ER or call 911 first.
Can you fix a broken crown the same day?
Very often, yes — that's the advantage of our on-site CAD/CAM lab. What takes most offices two visits and two weeks, we can frequently mill and place in hours.
I'm terrified of the dentist and now I'm in pain. What are my options?
You're exactly who we built this practice for. Tell us when you call — we offer sedation dentistry, a gentle laser-first approach, and a team that treats anxiety with patience, not judgment.
