Dental problems show up at the worst times. You might be eating lunch when a filling falls out. Maybe you get hit in the mouth playing sports and chip a tooth. Sometimes tooth pain starts in the middle of the night and gets so bad you cannot sleep.

These situations can be scary. The best thing you can do is get help from a dentist as quickly as you can. When you wait too long, small problems often become bigger ones. This means more pain for you and higher costs to fix everything.

Our team at Bickler Dentistry has taken care of many people with sudden tooth problems. When your mouth hurts, every minute feels like an hour.

When you arrive, we start by asking questions about what happened and where it hurts. Then we check your entire mouth carefully to find out what is wrong. We might need to take special pictures of your teeth to see problems that are hiding below the gums.

Once we know what is causing your pain, we will sit down and talk about how to fix it. We explain everything in simple words so you understand exactly what needs to happen. We want you to feel good about the choices you make for your dental health.

Our office can handle many different types of dental emergencies. Here are some of the most common problems we treat:

• Broken Fillings – We replace old or damaged fillings with new white ones that match your other teeth perfectly.
• Infected Teeth – Root canal treatment removes the infection and saves your tooth from having to be pulled out.
• Cracked Crowns – Our CEREC machine makes new crowns in just one visit, so you do not have to come back later.
• Sore Gums – Professional cleaning removes germs that cause swelling and bleeding, helping your gums heal faster.
• Teeth That Cannot Be Saved – When a tooth is too damaged to repair, we remove it gently and talk about replacement options.

We want every patient to feel comfortable during treatment. Before we start working on your teeth, we always give you medicine to numb the area completely. If you get nervous about dental work, we also offer sedation to help you relax.

A dental emergency does not have to mess up your whole week.
