Severe Toothache Persistent pain that doesn't respond to over-the-counter medication. Could indicate an infection, cracked tooth, or abscess requiring immediate attention.

Broken or Cracked Tooth From trauma, biting hard objects, or weakened enamel. Exposed inner tooth structure is vulnerable to infection and further damage. Save any pieces and come in immediately.

Knocked-Out Tooth Time-sensitive. best outcomes within 30 minutes. Keep the tooth moist in milk or between your cheek and gum. Do not scrub the root. Call us immediately.

Lost Filling or Crown Exposed tooth structure can cause sensitivity and further damage. Bring the crown with you if you still have it. we may be able to re-cement it the same day.

Dental Abscess Swelling, fever, and throbbing pain signal a serious infection that can spread if untreated. An abscess requires drainage and antibiotics. do not delay care.
