  2. Brush and floss your teeth at least twice daily.

About Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency is any situation that puts your teeth and gums at risk or causes you pain. 

Potential treatments for dental emergencies may include: 

  • Root canal therapy
  • Restorative dentistry
  • Extractions
  • Tooth replacement

If you ever have an injury that extends outside the mouth, such as an impact trauma, we want you to go to the hospital first. After you’ve been declared safe, you can call our dental clinic. 

Your safety is always our priority.
