Prompt Care for Dental Emergencies
Whether you’re dealing with a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, our team is ready to help. Same-day appointments are available to ensure you don’t have to wait in pain or risk further complications. During each emergency exam, Dr. Welch carefully assesses the problem and creates a personalized treatment plan to relieve your pain and restore your oral health.
We treat common dental emergencies like:
Severe or Persistent Tooth Pain
Sharp, throbbing, or constant tooth pain can indicate decay, infection, or nerve damage. Prompt treatment can relieve pain and prevent the problem from worsening.
Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth
Teeth can crack or break due to trauma, injury, or even biting down on hard foods. Repairing damaged teeth quickly can preserve their structure and prevent infection or further damage.
Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsed Teeth)
A tooth that has been completely knocked out requires immediate attention to improve the chances of saving it. Quick action is critical for successful re-implantation.
Lost Dental Fillings or Crowns
Fillings and crowns protect and restore damaged teeth. If a dental restoration becomes broken or dislodged, it can leave the tooth vulnerable to decay or sensitivity. Immediate care can restore your tooth's complete function and comfort.
Dental Infections or Abscesses
A dental infection or abscess can cause symptoms like swelling, pain, and fever. Timely treatment is essential to prevent the infection from spreading and to preserve the affected tooth.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Cuts, tears, or punctures to the soft tissues in your mouth, including the gums, lips, or tongue, can be painful and may lead to infection if untreated. Our team can provide care to promote healing and prevent complications.
