Emergency Affordable Dental Services Day or Night

Accidents happen and millions of people have mouth and tooth injuries every year. Many of those are sports injuries but a mouth injury can happen in a car or bike accident, at work, doing a home repair project, or in a fall.

Emergencies aren’t always accidents. You may have a sudden infection causing severe tooth pain. These are things that can’t wait until Monday or even the morning.

These things never happen at a convenient time. That’s why we have emergency dental services available whenever you need them.

Calling for an Emergency Appointment

It’s easy to get an emergency appointment with us. Call the emergency number listed and we’ll ask you a few questions to determine if you need to come in now or can make an appointment in the morning. We will tell you when to meet us for an emergency exam.

The Emergency Exam

An emergency exam starts with digital X-rays to see what and where the damage is in the mouth. From there, a dentist may perform a visual exam and do emergency work to save teeth and stop bleeding, depending on the situation.

In cases of infection, the dentist will prescribe an antibiotic and tell you to make a follow-up appointment. Infections are typically the result of cavities or tooth decay that needs special procedures. Cleaning an infection is the first step to repair and will ease the pain.
