Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth can cause pain, sensitivity, and further damage if not treated promptly.
Swelling
Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face may indicate infection and should be evaluated as soon as possible.

Emergency Dentist FAQs
If you are dealing with tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or a dental emergency, these answers can help you understand when to call and what to expect.
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency can include severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, a broken or cracked tooth, a knocked-out tooth, bleeding, or a lost crown or filling that causes pain or sensitivity. If you are unsure, it is better to call and ask.
Can you treat tooth pain the same day?
Same-day availability may be available depending on the schedule and the type of emergency. Our team will do our best to evaluate your symptoms quickly, help relieve discomfort, and explain the next best treatment option.
Should I go to the ER for tooth pain?
In most cases, a dentist is the right provider for tooth pain because the source is usually dental. However, if you have trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, facial swelling that is spreading, or a serious medical emergency, seek emergency medical care immediately.
What should I do if my tooth breaks?
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water, avoid chewing on that side, and call the office as soon as possible. If you have the broken piece, place it in a small bag and bring it with you to your visit.
Can a dental infection go away on its own?
Dental infections usually do not go away on their own. Pain may come and go, but the source of the infection can continue to worsen. Prompt dental care can help prevent the problem from becoming more serious.
Do emergency dental visits hurt?
Our goal is to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Dr. Nguyen will evaluate the area, explain what is happening, and discuss options for relieving pain before treatment begins.
What if my crown or filling falls out?
A lost crown or filling can leave the tooth exposed and sensitive. Avoid chewing on that side and call the office. Depending on the situation, the restoration may need to be repaired, replaced, or temporarily protected.
