Same-Day Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies can happen suddenly and often cause significant pain, swelling, or bleeding that requires quick care. These issues can disrupt your day and may worsen if not treated promptly. Some of the most common urgent dental concerns include:

  • knocked-out tooth

  • cracked or broken tooth

  • dental abscess

  • severe toothache

If these issues aren’t addressed right away, they can lead to further complications, infections, or more extensive treatment needs. And if you ever suspect a broken jaw or any kind of head injury, it’s important to seek emergency medical care immediately.
