When something suddenly feels wrong
A toothache that interrupts sleep, a broken tooth, a lost filling, or swelling can turn an ordinary day upside down. Calling the office is the best first step so we can understand the problem and discuss available appointment options.
What you can do before you're seen
Avoid chewing on a painful or broken tooth. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown rather than the root, keep it moist, and seek urgent dental advice immediately. Do not place aspirin directly against gums or teeth.
Know when to seek emergency medical care
Trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, significant facial trauma, or rapidly spreading swelling warrants immediate emergency medical attention. A dental office visit is not a substitute for emergency medical care.
GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things you may be wondering
Can you see me the same day?
Please call to ask about current availability; same-day appointments cannot be guaranteed.
Should I call if the pain comes and goes?
Yes. Intermittent pain can still signal a problem that should be evaluated.
