Some of the most common types of dental emergency that can require emergency dental care from an emergency dentist or other qualified treatment provider include:
- Tooth Pain | Tooth pain can be caused by a wide number of problems, but it is frequently linked with an infection of the tooth’s tissue. In some cases, tooth pain can become quite intense, and require more immediate care. If you suffer from tooth pain that just doesn’t seem to be going away, please get in touch with us as soon as you are able and we can help you get the care that you need.
- TMJ Problems | Our practice is equipped to handle temporomandibular joint (TMJ) emergencies, including jaw lock (also known as lockjaw, not to be confused with the one caused by tetanus) and severe jaw pain. Jaw lock, or “closed lock,” can prevent you from fully opening your mouth and requires immediate attention. Severe TMJ pain, which may radiate to the face or ears, can indicate an acute issue that needs prompt evaluation. Additionally, persistent headaches linked to jaw discomfort may also signal a TMJ problem.
- Broken or Cracked Teeth | If you have somehow broken a tooth, try to see if you can locate the broken piece. Although in many cases broken pieces of tooth are not used, it’s better to make sure before you get rid of it. Please get in touch with our team as soon as possible so that we can provide you further instructions if necessary, and make sure you can get the care you need.
- Chipped Teeth | While chipped teeth are typically less severe than the problems listed here, it’s important to address them promptly to avoid complications. Getting immediate dental care will help to minimize pain as well aesthetic concerns about your smile.
- Loose Teeth | If you are an adult and your teeth feel loose, it could be indicative of other underlying issues. Please get in touch with our team as soon as you are able and we will help you get the care you desire.

Dental Emergency? Don’t Fret With Sedation Dentistry
There’s no way to sugarcoat it, dental emergencies can be stressful. To help put our patients at ease we offer dental sedation. Our sedation dentistry options include laughing gas for a milder form of sedation that wears off quickly after your procedure. We also offer oral conscious sedation to provide patients with a deeper sense of relaxation while still allowing patients to respond to the dentist if necessary. Our experienced team will assess your needs to recommend the best sedation option for your emergency care and ensure that your visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
