Common Dental Emergencies

We are equipped to handle a variety of dental emergencies, including:

  • Severe, persistent toothaches or other types of tooth pain: Sudden, intense tooth pain can signal an underlying issue that requires immediate attention to prevent further complications.
  • Lost dental restorations: If you lose a filling or crown, it is important to address it quickly to protect the exposed tooth and avoid additional damage.
  • Injuries to soft tissues: Damage to the tongue, cheeks, lips or gums can cause significant discomfort and may require professional care to heal properly.
  • Cracked or fractured teeth: Teeth that are cracked or fractured need urgent care to prevent infection and preserve the tooth.
  • Chipped or broken teeth: Even minor chips or breaks should be evaluated to ensure there are no deeper issues.
  • Partially or fully knocked-out teeth: Quick action can often save a knocked-out tooth, making immediate care crucial.

If you experience any of these conditions or another type of dental emergency, please reach out to our office. We can provide you with guidance on how to manage your situation until you can visit Dr. Karey Kusuhara.

In cases where you have experienced head or neck trauma, or if you believe your injury may be life-threatening, we recommend calling 911 or visiting the emergency room or your general physician first, even if your smile is affected. Your overall health is paramount, and addressing major injuries takes precedence.

We understand the urgency and discomfort that come with dental emergencies. To learn more about our emergency dental care services or to get immediate assistance, do not hesitate to call or visit our office today. Your health and peace of mind are our top priorities.
