Question 1

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Accepted Answer

Severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, broken/cracked teeth, dental abscesses, lost crowns/fillings, uncontrolled bleeding, and jaw injuries. When in doubt, call us - we'll help you determine urgency.

Question 2

Do you have same-day emergency appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We reserve time daily for emergencies. Call us and explain your situation - we prioritize patients in pain and typically see emergencies within hours, not days.

Question 3

What should I do if I can't reach you after hours?

Accepted Answer

Our voicemail provides emergency instructions. For life-threatening situations (difficulty breathing, severe facial swelling), go to the ER. Otherwise, manage pain and call us first thing in the morning.

Question 4

Is emergency dental care more expensive?

Accepted Answer

Emergency exams are similar in cost to regular exams. Treatment costs depend on what's needed. We never want cost to delay emergency care - we offer payment plans and work with your insurance.

Question 5

Should I go to the ER for dental emergencies?

Accepted Answer

ERs can manage pain and infection but can't do dental procedures. For actual treatment, you need a dentist. We're often faster than the ER and can provide definitive care.
