What counts as an emergency
Six common reasons to come in today.
When in doubt, call. We'll help you decide whether you can safely wait or should come in immediately.
Average wait
Under 90 minutes
Severe toothache
Throbbing pain, sensitivity to pressure, or pain that wakes you up.
Knocked-out tooth
Time-sensitive — call us within the hour. Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva.
Cracked or broken tooth
Save any fragments, rinse with warm water, and head in for assessment.
Lost filling or crown
Avoid chewing on that side. We can usually re-seat or replace same day.
Swelling or abscess
Facial swelling needs urgent attention — call us right away.
Soft-tissue trauma
Lacerations to gums, tongue, or cheeks. We'll assess and refer if needed.
