What is Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dentistry focuses on urgent care for dental problems that cannot wait for a routine visit. The goal is to alleviate pain, protect your oral health, and save natural teeth whenever possible.
Common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe toothaches or dental abscesses
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
  • Loose or lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
  • Swelling, bleeding gums, or jaw pain
  • Injuries to the tongue, lips, or soft tissues

Immediate treatment helps prevent infections, reduce complications, and improve outcomes. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call our Garden City office immediately for guidance.
