Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care
What should I do if I notice facial swelling?
Facial swelling may signal an infection that needs prompt attention. Call our office right away so our dentists can evaluate your symptoms. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care first and then contact us for follow-up dental treatment.
Do you accept walk-in dental emergencies?
We do our best to see walk-in emergencies when our schedule allows. Calling ahead lets us prepare for your arrival and may shorten your wait. If you cannot call, we still encourage you to visit during business hours so our team can assess your concern.
Will antibiotics alone fix a dental infection?
Antibiotics can reduce infection and swelling, but they usually do not correct the underlying dental problem. Our dentists will examine the area, recommend treatment to address the cause and decide whether antibiotics are needed as part of your overall care plan.
Can I receive same-day treatment for my emergency?
In many cases, yes. We often provide same-day pain relief, temporary repairs or even definitive treatment, depending on your condition. If full care is not possible that day, we stabilize the problem and schedule the next step as soon as we can.
