Suffering from Dental Pain?
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Knocked-Out (Avulsed) Tooth
From sports to car collisions, more than 5 million teeth are knocked out each year. When this happens, time is critical. In many cases, getting to our office in time means we can save your tooth and put it back in. Our emergency dentist can often reinsert and stabilize the tooth. Additionally, if the root has been damaged, you may need root canal therapy.
Lost Filling or Crown
A loose or missing filling or crown might seem like a small issue at first. However, it can soon cause sharp sensitivity or pain while also putting your tooth at increased risk. Timely treatment restores the stability of your tooth and keeps bacteria from getting into the inner parts.
Cracked or Broken Teeth
Even though enamel is strong, it cannot hold up against everything. Fractures can occur due to trauma, grinding, or biting hard objects, such as using your teeth to open something. Your emergency treatment will depend on the severity. Smaller cracks may need bonding or veneers. Severe or deeper fractures may require more extensive restoration, such as dental crowns.
Dislodged or Loose Teeth
Not all teeth get knocked out all the way. In some cases, an injury may make a tooth loose despite it still being in its place. You still need quick treatment to stabilize the tooth and allow it to heal.
