Dr. Platt is here to relieve pain with prompt, thoughtful care. Using handheld and digital X-rays, intraoral imaging, and gentle techniques, we'll get to the root of the problem. Some of the most common emergencies we treat include:

  • Knocked-Out Teeth - Time is critical. Your dentist will try to reinsert and stabilize the tooth. If it can't be saved, we'll discuss your replacement options.
  • Cracked or Broken Teeth - Whether the damage is minor or severe, bonding or custom crowns can improve strength, shape, and comfort.
  • Severe Toothaches - Sudden pain often signals decay or infection. We use high-resolution imaging to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
  • Lost Fillings or Crowns - A lost restoration can expose your tooth to damage. We'll repair or replace it promptly to give you back protection and function.

  • Clear Diagnosis and Next Steps - You'll get a clear explanation of what's wrong and your treatment options. You'll find out any necessary costs and timing.
  • Renewed Smile - If possible, we'll complete the treatment the same day. If not, we'll stabilize the issue and schedule a follow-up visit.

Common Questions About Dental Emergencies

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes any issue causing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or trauma to the teeth, gums, or jaw. Common emergencies include knocked-out teeth, abscesses, broken crowns or fillings, and injuries from accidents. If you're unsure, it's always safer to call and speak to our team. We'll guide you on whether urgent care is needed.

How soon should I be seen for a knocked-out tooth?

Immediately. There's a short window, ideally within 30 minutes, where a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved. Keep the tooth moist, avoid touching the root, and bring it with you to our office right away.

What can I do at home before I get to the office?

You can rinse your mouth with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and take regular pain medication if needed. Avoid aspirin if bleeding is involved. Do not try to fix a broken tooth or dental appliance on your own. This could cause more damage.
