Prevent Bigger Problems
Left untreated, small dental issues can lead to serious complications. Emergency care stops problems before they escalate.
Immediate Implants
Losing a tooth leaves you with a gap in your smile; fill that gap right away with immediate implants. Dental implants can stop you from losing bone mass while restoring your bite, but the longer you go without a tooth, the more likely you are to lose bone, so timely care is crucial. If you've lost a tooth, or require an extraction, ask us if a dental implant is right for you.

What do I do in a Dental Emergency?
Keep Calm & Reduce Bleeding
Dental emergencies can be stressful, but staying calm helps you think clearly and act quickly. If there’s bleeding, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and use a sterile gauze or clean cloth to apply light but steady pressure. Hold it in place for 10–15 minutes or until the bleeding slows down. If a tooth has been injured, avoid touching or disturbing the area. Keeping calm will help you get through those first few critical moments until you can get professional help.
Control Swelling & Pain
For most dental injuries, you can manage pain and swelling temporarily at home. Use over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to control discomfort, but steer clear of aspirin—it can thin your blood and worsen bleeding. You can also apply a cold compress or ice pack to the outside of your cheek near the affected area in 10-minute intervals. This not only eases inflammation but can also help you feel more in control while you wait to be seen.

Once you’ve managed your symptoms, the most important next step is to call our office.
