Pain & Swelling:

If you are experiencing pain and swelling, we do our absolute best to see you the same day. Call our office and we will arrange an emergency appointment to deal with the urgent situation. Because we have appointments already scheduled for each day, you may have to wait but we will see you to deal with the specific emergency.

Broken tooth:

A broken tooth can be uncomfortable and worrisome. If you are experiencing pain, we do our very best to have you seen as soon as possible. A lot of the time, you can have a broken tooth and not experience any major discomfort. In these circumstances, we still do our very best to have you seen in a timely manner. We may offer you an appointment a couple weeks out, but we have a very good short notice list to get you in sooner and often times, we do.

Avulsed tooth:

A tooth has been knocked out of its socket (hockey, baseball bat etc)

Immediately remove foreign debris from the root (wash or lick it off) and reinsert the tooth back in the socket. Once in the socket, then give it a quick hard push and check to see if it appears to line up with the adjacent teeth. Note: At the time of the incident, the accident site is usually numb from the trauma, so you can normally push the tooth back in the socket with minimal discomfort. It is important to call our office ASAP should an accident like this happen.
