Broken or Chipped Tooth
A fracture can expose sensitive nerve tissue. Even a chip that doesn't hurt needs prompt attention to prevent decay and worsening.

Dental pain is your body's signal that something is wrong. Waiting or masking pain with medication allows infections to spread and simple fixes to become complicated ones.
Rinse gently with warm salt water. Apply a cold compress (20 minutes on, 20 off) to reduce swelling. If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk or saliva. Don't take aspirin and place it directly on gum tissue — it can cause a chemical burn.
We hold same-day appointment slots for emergencies. You will not be told to wait a week. Walk-ins are also welcome — calling ahead simply reduces your wait time.
This is one of the most common questions we get — and the answer matters, because the ER can't treat your tooth, and the dentist can't treat a medical emergency.
These can indicate a spreading infection or structural injury — a medical emergency first, dental emergency second.
The ER can prescribe pain medication and antibiotics but cannot fix the underlying dental problem. You'll still need to see us — and the sooner, the better.
Emergency treatment stabilizes the situation — these services are often the next step toward full recovery.
