When emergencies happen, we do have text services, okay, and a lot of times I’ll get the text or one of my staff will get the text. And I have actually, over my career, for emergencies, I have been in the office on Labor Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Christmas Eve. We tend, now it’s a little bit easier because we can text the patient back and forth and try to figure out how bad that emergency is what we could do, or whether we just need to call in a prescription, which we do, or whether the patient needs to be seen immediately.
A small little anecdote, I had a patient’s daughter, probably a couple of years ago. She went out with her friends, she was a teenage girl. She went out with her friends in the city, she went drinking, she was in a parking lot, she missed a step and landed on her face, okay.
She actually called me on a Sunday morning, about 3 a.m. I met her at the office by 7.30, Sunday morning, took care of her, got her taken care of, did some temporary cosmetic work so she could live her life, okay. And then ultimately over the next period of time, we took care of her and now she’s fine. Obviously a lot sooner than this, but whatever it takes.
I mean, the patient comes first.

Find Quick Relief for Unexpected Dental Emergencies
Your emergency visit begins with a thorough exam, including any needed digital X-rays to get a complete picture of what’s happening. Based on this information, your dentist will create a targeted treatment plan that may include:
- Tooth Fillings – Our tooth-colored composite fillings not only look natural but preserve more of your healthy tooth structure. They are perfect for treating sudden cavities or damaged teeth with minimal intervention.
- Root Canal Therapy – You don’t have to let tooth pain control your life. Our root canal treatment targets the source of infection, providing immediate relief while saving your natural tooth. Using the latest techniques, your dentist will make this procedure comfortable and effective.
- Dental Crowns – When severe damage strikes, protect and restore your tooth with a custom-fitted crown. Our durable crowns provide protection and long-lasting strength for compromised teeth.
- Dental Bridges – Lost a tooth unexpectedly? A custom-crafted bridge fills the gap, restoring both your smile’s appearance and function. Your bridge will blend beautifully with your existing teeth.
- Gum Disease Treatment – When bleeding, swollen gums or sudden gum pain strikes, immediate attention is crucial. Our gum disease care addresses both your immediate discomfort and the underlying infection.
- Oral Surgery – Sometimes, removing a troubled tooth is the best path to relief. Our careful extraction process prioritizes your comfort, and we’ll guide you through smart replacement options to maintain your smile’s function and appearance.
After treating your emergency, our team stays committed to your ongoing dental health. During your appointment, we’ll also review your at-home care instructions and develop a preventive plan to help avoid future emergencies.
