Walk-Ins Welcome for Immediate Assistance

Understanding that dental emergencies require immediate attention, our office welcomes walk-in patients during our office hours. Whether you are an existing patient or visiting us for the first time, our team is prepared to handle a wide range of dental emergencies with the expertise and care you deserve. We prioritize emergency cases to ensure that you receive the necessary treatment as quickly as possible, helping to relieve pain and prevent complications. 

What You Can Do for Common Dental Emergencies

• Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the gums, as this can cause irritation. Over-the-counter pain relievers may help until you can see us.
• Broken or Chipped Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces of the tooth. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Bring any tooth fragments with you to your appointment.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water if dirty and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that is not possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or a saline solution and bring it to our office immediately.
• Abscess: Rinse your mouth with a mild saltwater solution to help ease the pain and draw the pus to the surface. Avoid popping the abscess, as this can spread the infection. Seek immediate dental care.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Rinse your mouth with a saltwater solution, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and use gauze to control any bleeding. Visit us as soon as possible for further evaluation and treatment.
