FAQ

What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?

If you have a dental emergency after hours, please call our office. Our team will provide instructions on how to handle the situation and arrange for you to see us as soon as possible.

How can I manage severe tooth pain until I see the dentist?

For severe tooth pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers and apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the painful side and stick to soft foods. Contact us immediately for an appointment.

What steps should I take if I knock out a tooth?

If you knock out a tooth, handle it by the crown (the top part), not the root. Rinse it gently with water, place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it in a container of milk or saliva. Seek immediate dental care to increase the chances of saving the tooth.

Are emergency dental services covered by insurance?

Emergency dental services are often covered by dental insurance, but coverage may vary depending on your plan. Our team can help you understand your insurance benefits and provide an estimate of any out-of-pocket costs.
