Dental emergencies may include:

Do I Have a Dental Emergency?

You may have a dental emergency if you experience:

• Severe or ongoing tooth pain
• Trauma to your mouth or teeth
• Sudden swelling in your face or gums
• A chipped or broken front tooth affecting your smile

Our goal is to relieve your pain and protect your smile as quickly as possible.

Common Causes of Dental Pain

Dental pain can happen for several reasons, including:

• Severe tooth decay
• A cracked or broken tooth
• Infection in the gums or tooth
• An infected wisdom tooth

If the inside of the tooth becomes infected, a root canal treatment may be needed to remove the infection and save the tooth.

Root canal treatment is a common and effective procedure designed to stop pain and restore the health of your tooth.
