Toothache, chipped tooth, lost crown? Call us — we set aside time every day for urgent visits.
Quick first-aid steps that protect your tooth until you reach our chair.
Handle by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and keep it moist — in milk or tucked in your cheek. Time matters: call immediately.
Rinse with warm water and gently floss to clear any trapped debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum — it can burn tissue.
Save any pieces, rinse your mouth, and use a cold compress for swelling. Most chips can be repaired beautifully.
Keep the crown if you have it. Dental cement from a pharmacy can protect the tooth temporarily — then come see us.
Dental pain rarely improves on its own — and problems that start small (a crack, a loose filling, a mild ache) tend to get more complicated and more expensive the longer they wait.
That's why we protect time in our schedule for emergencies. Call in the morning and, in most cases, we'll see you the same day. Existing patient or brand new, English or Spanish — you'll get seen, diagnosed, and out of pain.
New patients welcome — evening and Saturday hours available.
