Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times, and severe tooth pain can completely disrupt your daily life. Ignoring a dental emergency is dangerous—what starts as a minor toothache can quickly escalate into a life-threatening infection or result in the permanent loss of a tooth.
At Garden City Family Dentistry, we prioritize dental emergencies. Our experienced team is equipped to handle urgent cases swiftly and compassionately. Whether you have suffered a sports injury, cracked a tooth, or woken up with an unbearable toothache, we are here to get you out of pain and restore your smile.
Unbearable, throbbing pain often indicates an infection deep within the tooth pulp. We diagnose the root cause and provide immediate pain relief.
Time is critical. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, get to our office within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving and re-implanting the tooth.
A cracked or broken tooth can expose sensitive nerves and lead to infection. We can repair the damage with bonding, crowns, or other restorative treatments.
Losing a restoration leaves the underlying tooth vulnerable to decay and extreme sensitivity. We can quickly replace or re-cement your restoration.
When you are in pain, you need a dental team you can trust to provide fast, effective, and gentle care.
Providing trusted emergency dental care to patients across a 15-mile radius.
Any issue causing severe pain, uncontrollable bleeding, facial swelling, or trauma to the teeth or gums is a dental emergency. This includes knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, abscesses, or broken restorations.
Yes! We offer same-day emergency appointments during our normal business hours to get you out of pain as quickly as possible. Please call us immediately.
Hold the tooth by the crown (the top part), do not touch the root. Rinse it gently with water if dirty, and try to place it back into the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk and call us immediately. Getting to our office within 30-60 minutes gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and gently use dental floss to remove any trapped food. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever (like ibuprofen), but do not put aspirin directly on the gums. Call our office immediately for an appointment.
If the chip is large, exposes the inner layers of the tooth, or causes pain, it is an emergency. A very small, painless chip can usually wait a day or two, but should still be evaluated promptly to prevent further damage.
