Dental emergencies happen when you least expect them. The clinic makes urgent situations a priority. Call the front desk first so the team can guide your next step.
Urgent care starts with an exam of the area, with x-rays as needed, so the cause is identified before anything is treated. From there you get a plan, and medication such as antibiotics or pain relief if it is required. How quickly treatment itself follows depends on the problem and the day, so call ahead rather than assuming.
Some problems should not wait. If you are dealing with any of these, phone the clinic and describe what is happening.
The team examines the area, takes x-rays where needed, and builds a treatment plan. If pain or infection needs managing right away, medication can be prescribed.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may be a white filling, an extraction, a root canal or another procedure. The cost is explained before anything is booked.
Tell the front desk when you call. An urgent visit is easier when the team knows to take it at your pace and explain each step before it happens.
Not always. Urgent cases are prioritized, but an exam comes first and treatment may follow at a later appointment. Same-day treatment is not guaranteed, so calling first is the fastest path.
Handle it by the crown, not the root, keep it moist, and call right away. A knocked-out tooth can sometimes be reinserted if it is handled correctly and you are seen quickly.
