Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a same-day appointment for my emergency?

We prioritize emergency dental appointments and aim to fit in patients as quickly as possible. If you are having a dental emergency, please call our office immediately.

If one of your teeth has been knocked out, gently pick it up and rinse it gently under cold water to remove debris. If possible, reinsert the tooth into your socket and bite down gently. If you can’t reinsert your tooth, place it in a container of milk or saliva.

Is it safe to take over-the-counter pain medication?

While over-the-counter pain medication is safe and can provide temporary relief, it's important to consult with your dentist if you’re having an emergency, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
