What Is Urgent Dental Care?
Urgent dentistry includes a wide variety of services and treatments for procedures that require attention fast. Requiring attention fast does not necessarily mean immediate treatment like dental emergencies.
If any of the following statements apply to you, you are in need of urgent dental care and should contact us to schedule an appointment.
- I have a tooth that is broken, chipped or cracked.
- I believe I have a tooth that needs to be extracted.
- I’m in need of denture repair.
- I had a tooth filling, crown or veneer fall out.
- My wisdom teeth are causing irritation.
- My tooth is loose or out of alignment.

What if my tooth is loose but still attached?
If you have a loose tooth or a tooth out of alignment, contact us right away to get an appointment setup as soon as possible. You can try to put the tooth back in its original position by very gently positioning the tooth with your fingers—do not force it. We will advise on if there is anything else you should do in the meantime, prior to your appointment.

What if I have a chipped or cracked tooth?
If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, contact your dentist right away. Chipped teeth that aren’t painful can usually be smoothed out or filled in at a regular dental appointment. A cracked tooth typically indicates that there’s damage to the inside of the tooth, as well as the outside. If your tooth is cracked please follow these steps, after contacting your dentist.
- Rinse your mouth with warm water
- Apply a cold compress to minimize swelling
- Take acetaminophen (not aspirin) to alleviate pain
- Do NOT apply any pain medication—including Orajel—directly to the gums, as it can damage gum tissue

Can I fix my dentures at home?
Depending on the breakage or issue, It is possible to fix dentures at home. However, these at home fixes should only be treated as temporary solutions while you wait to visit the dentist. At-home repair kits are available to purchase at the store. These repair kits come with the tools and solutions needed to fix your dentures. Once again, these repair kits are only temporary solutions. Visiting your dentist and having them professionally repair the broken denture is the only permanent solution.
