Think about the last time a tooth really hurt. Maybe you were trying to enjoy dinner with your family when that sharp pain hit. Or you woke up in the middle of the night because your jaw was pounding.

Nothing else matters when your mouth hurts that much.

Too many people think they should just wait and see if the pain goes away on its own. This is usually a big mistake. Dental problems almost never get better by themselves. In fact, they usually get much worse when you wait. A small problem today could turn into something really serious next week.

We see patients all the time who tell us they wish they had called us sooner. We get how terrible tooth pain can be. When your mouth hurts, even five minutes feels like forever.

When you come in, we start by talking about what’s happening. We want to know when the pain started and what makes it feel better or worse. Then we’ll look at your teeth and gums really carefully. We might need to take some X-rays to see what’s going on inside your tooth.

Once we figure out what’s wrong, we’ll sit down and talk about how to fix it. We want you to understand everything before we start working. We’ll just tell you exactly what we found and how we can help.

Our office can take care of lots of different dental emergencies. Here are some of the most common problems we see:

• Repair Broken Teeth – We can fix chips and cracks with materials that look just like your real teeth.
• End Tooth Infections – We can clean out the infection and save your tooth with root canal treatment.
• Replace Fillings or Crowns – We can replace old filling and make same-day crowns, so your tooth feels normal again.
• Stop Gum Pain – We can clean away the infection and help your gums heal properly.
• Take Out Problem Teeth – We can remove problem teeth comfortably and talk about replacement options

We want you to feel comfortable during your whole visit. We always use medicine to numb your mouth completely so you won’t feel any pain. If you get nervous about dental work, we have safe medicines that can help you relax.

A dental emergency doesn’t have to ruin your whole week. We work fast to get you in and get you feeling better. Our main goal is to stop your pain and get you back to your normal life as quickly as we can.
