What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation that involves pain, bleeding, swelling, or trauma to the teeth, gums, or mouth. Quick treatment can relieve discomfort, prevent further damage, and often save a tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Common emergencies we treat include:
- Severe toothaches or pressure
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
- Swelling or signs of infection
- Broken crowns, bridges, or dentures
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop with gentle pressure
- Gum abscesses or facial swelling
- Objects lodged between teeth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our emergency dental team is here to help—without the wait.
What to Expect from Our Emergency Dentist
At Aesthetic Smiles, we prioritize same-day care whenever possible. Our goal is to relieve your pain quickly while identifying the underlying issue. Depending on your condition, emergency treatment may include:
- Thorough dental examination and X-rays
- Pain management and anti-inflammatory care
- Tooth preservation or extraction (if necessary)
- Temporary or permanent repairs to dental crowns, fillings, or restorations
- Drainage of abscesses or infection treatment
- Customized treatment plan for full recovery
You’ll leave with immediate relief and a clear understanding of any recommended follow-up care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a current patient to receive emergency care?
No. We accept both new and existing patients for emergency dental appointments. Call us and we’ll do our best to accommodate you right away.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and try to place it back into the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to our office immediately—preferably within 30 minutes.
Can a toothache be an emergency?
Yes. Persistent or severe tooth pain often signals an infection or deep decay. Left untreated, it can worsen or spread. We recommend contacting us as soon as discomfort begins.
Is emergency dental care covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part or all of emergency treatments. Our office will help verify your benefits and explain your options for coverage and payment.
What if I have an emergency outside your business hours?
If your emergency occurs after hours, call our main number for instructions. In cases of serious trauma, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection with fever, seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room.
