• Lost or broken dental fillings or dental crowns
  
  
• Soft tissue injuries (lips, gums, cheeks)
  
  
• Signs of infection like swelling, fever, or abscess
  
  
• Orthodontic emergencies such as broken wires or brackets

How soon should I see a dentist for a toothache?
If your toothache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, contact us right away—it may indicate infection.

Handle the tooth by the crown, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and get to our office within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.

Do you take walk-ins?
We recommend calling first so we can prepare, but we do our best to accommodate urgent cases.
