Frequently Asked Questions

Does a chipped tooth require urgent care?

Minor chips may not need immediate attention, but it’s best to call us for guidance to prevent further damage.

Is a cavity a dental emergency?

Early cavities aren’t urgent, but untreated cavities can lead to infection requiring emergency care.

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

Call us immediately—time is critical. Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to reposition it in the socket if possible. If you can’t reposition it, place it in milk. The faster you get to us, the better chance we have of saving your tooth.
