Emergencies and Trauma
Emergency Oral Surgery Care
Dental emergencies and facial trauma can happen unexpectedly, and our team is here to help when urgent care is needed. We are committed to providing prompt evaluation and treatment for patients experiencing oral pain, injury, infection, or other dental emergencies.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, we typically recommend first contacting your general dentist to determine the most appropriate course of treatment. In many cases, your dentist may refer you to our office for specialized oral surgical care.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Our office may provide evaluation and treatment for:
- Dental infections and facial swelling
- Severe tooth pain
- Broken or damaged teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Oral injuries and soft tissue trauma
- Jaw injuries
- Impacted or infected wisdom teeth
- Post-surgical complications
More severe injuries or traumatic emergencies may require hospital-based treatment, with follow-up care provided in our office afterward.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
If you experience a dental or facial emergency:
- Contact your general dentist or our office as soon as possible
- Apply gentle pressure to control bleeding when necessary
- Use cold compresses to help reduce swelling
- Preserve knocked-out teeth in milk or saline if possible
- Seek immediate medical attention for severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, or major facial trauma
Prompt treatment can often improve comfort, reduce complications, and increase the likelihood of successful outcomes.
