Emergency Dentistry

We encourage you to please contact an emergency dentist immediately whenever you experience sudden or severe dental problems. Quick action can help prevent further damage, reduce pain and increase the chances of saving a tooth or preventing infection.

Common situations that require urgent dental attention include:

  • Severe tooth pain that doesn’t improve with over-the-counter pain relief
  • Knocked-out teeth (avulsed teeth) due to injury or trauma
  • Broken or fractured teeth from an accident, bite or injury
  • Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding from the gums, mouth or after dental treatment
  • Swelling of the gums, face or jaw which could indicate infection or abscess
  • Dental abscess or signs of infection, including pus, fever or tenderness
  • Loose or dislodged teeth from trauma
  • Severe jaw pain or locking of the jaw
  • Problems with dental work such as broken crowns, loose fillings or damaged implants

Even if you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, we recommend that you please call and speak with our emergency dentist in Providence and West Lakes. Prompt evaluation can help prevent complications, reduce discomfort and improve long-term outcomes for your oral health.
