Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relief if appropriate, and avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum. Contact the clinic as soon as possible so we can diagnose the cause and provide treatment.

A dental abscess is a pocket of pus caused by bacterial infection. It can cause severe pain, swelling, and fever. It requires prompt treatment — please contact us immediately if you suspect an abscess.

Save any broken pieces if possible, rinse your mouth gently, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Contact the clinic right away. We can often repair a broken or chipped tooth.

We make every effort to accommodate urgent cases as quickly as possible. Contact the clinic directly and describe your symptoms so we can prioritize your appointment.

If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if dirty, and try to reinsert it or keep it moist in milk or saliva. Seek emergency care immediately — time is critical.
