A knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved if it is placed back in the socket or kept in milk and seen by a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes.
Tell us what is going on and we will get you the earliest time, usually the same day.
Dr. Evans examines the area and takes digital X-rays to find the cause.
Relief comes first, whether that means numbing, treating infection, or smoothing a broken edge.
Most emergencies are fully treated the same day, including fillings, extractions, and same-day crowns.
Dental pain rarely goes away on its own. Getting seen early usually means a smaller, less expensive fix.
Severe or lasting tooth pain, a cracked, chipped, or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, swelling in your gums or face, bleeding that will not stop, a lost filling or crown, or an abscess. If something hurts or feels wrong and you are not sure, call us. We would rather check than have you wait.
Yes. We hold time in our schedule for emergencies. Call or text as early as you can and we will fit you in, often within the hour. After hours, text us and we will respond as quickly as possible.
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently with water if dirty, do not scrub it. If you can, place it back in the socket and bite down lightly on gauze. If not, keep it in a cup of milk or saliva. Call us right away. The best chance of saving the tooth is within the first hour.
Rinse with warm salt water, use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek for swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label. Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods on that side. Do not place aspirin directly on the gums.
Yes. We accept most major dental insurance plans, and emergency exams are usually covered. No insurance? Ask about our in-house membership plan and financing options so cost never keeps you from getting out of pain.
