Is My Toothache A Dental Emergency?

Not every toothache is an emergency, but every toothache deserves attention.

You should call us as soon as possible if you have swelling, severe pain, a fever, difficulty swallowing, or a broken tooth that’s causing pain. These symptoms may indicate an infection or another problem that shouldn’t wait.

If you’re not sure whether your situation is urgent, give us a call. We’ll ask a few questions about your symptoms and help determine how quickly you should be seen.

Our goal is simple: get you out of pain, find the cause, and explain your treatment options so you can make the decision that’s best for you.
