Emergency dentistry is concerned with a specific set of circumstances that can happen in a dental context. In essence, emergency dentistry is concerned with the pain, trauma, infection, or damage associated with the dental problem at hand. In short, emergency dental care is designed to facilitate the following.
While emergency care addresses the immediate problem at hand, there is an emphasis on follow up care that may be necessary.
There are many potential emergency situations that could occur, such as:
Tooth Pain
Any kind of persistent, painful, or sensitive tooth pain could be a sign that there is some form of infection, decay, or worst case, nerve damage that is occurring. Emergency examination helps to alleviate the pain by evaluating the reason and helps to prevent the issue from worsening.
Teeth that are Cracked or Chipped
There are many reasons that may cause damage to your teeth including trauma, accidents, or even just biting down on something that is hard. Getting prompt treatment helps to keep the tooth and helps to regain full function and restores the appearance.
Teeth that are Knocked Out
One of the most serious and time sensitive cases is a tooth that has been knocked out. Every second is crucial and in order to save the tooth, one must act very quickly.
Swelling or Dental Related Infections
Swelling is a sign of serious infections that lie within the gums, the jaw, or even the face. Infections that are untreated are very dangerous as they can spread and cause other serious problems.
In Emergency Cases, Dental Crowns and/or Fillings that are Lost
When a dental crown or a filling falls out, the tooth that is exposed is susceptible to damage or pain. Emergency care is needed to protect the tooth before more permanent restorations can be done.
Trauma Related to Dental’s
Injuries related to falls, sports related accidents, and other accidents that are related to the mouth may lead to severe dental problems and an immediate evaluation is necessary.

Dr Celina is kind, gentle, warm, and welcoming. It is evident that she values patient care with the way she explains and communicates what she is seeing based on what I shared or what she observes during her examination. Going to the dentist is scary, but Dr Celina makes the experience comfortable and less scary. I cannot thank her enough!

There are not enough words to describe my husband & my experiences with this wonderful group of skilled professionals. My sweetheart will cowboy through whatever pain or difficulty. We appreciated their dedication to ensuring a good fit for his new appliances. For myself, let’s just say I’m the oldest baby you’ve ever seen. Terrified of the thought of going to the dentist… until we discovered this jewel of Dentistry. Pain was minimal and the care was kind & thoughtful. Even the paperwork was handled simply & professionally. In my 70+ years I have never had such a good dental experience. I made them promise to always be my dentist, seriously…

Hands down best dental experience ever. Walking in, the receptionists were very kind and I was greeted with such welcome. The atmosphere is very cozy and familial, bringing comfort before a nerve wrecking dental appointment. Dr. Celina was incredible at her job, being very thorough with procedures. She has such gentle hands, I was genuinely scared I was going to fall asleep as she worked on my teeth. Hope to stick to this dentist a lifetime!
