At an emergency dental visit, we first identify the source of pain, swelling, infection, trauma, or damage to a tooth and existing restoration. Our team reviews symptoms, oral health, and relevant records to determine whether immediate care is needed. Depending on the findings, we may repair a broken tooth, treat a chipped tooth, place an emergency dental filling, address a dental abscess, begin emergency root canal treatment, or perform an emergency tooth extraction. We discuss the treatment plan, pain-management options, and care instructions before proceeding. If additional work is needed, we arrange follow-up restorative care. A 24-hour dentist and after-hours appointments depend on urgency and availability.
