Emergency dentist questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a broken or chipped tooth, a lost filling or crown, or swelling in your gums or face. If you’re not sure, call us and we’ll help you decide.
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
Often, yes. Call (475) 237-9011 as early as you can and we'll find the soonest time. Same-day treatment depends on the problem.
Will it hurt?
We numb the area before treatment, and laughing gas is available if you’re nervous.
When should I go to the ER instead?
Go to the ER or call 911 if swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow, bleeding won't stop, or you have a serious injury to your face or jaw.
Do I need to be a patient already?
No. We see new patients for dental emergencies.
