What is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry refers to the immediate treatment of an urgent dental condition. Examples of such conditions include: toothache, broken or cracked teeth, swollen or infected gums, excessive bleeding, or a serious infection. Patients seek emergency dental care to alleviate their acute discomfort, save their natural teeth, and prevent complications.

| Cracked or broken tooth | Same day evaluation and repair |
| Knocked out tooth | Immediate assessment and reimplantation if possible |
| Swelling in gums or face | Infection evaluation and treatment |
| Lost filling or crown | Replacement to protect the tooth |
