Emergency
dentistry.

A knocked-out or broken tooth, severe tooth pain, swelling, or a lost restoration may need prompt dental attention. Call an office, explain what happened, and ask about the next available evaluation.

Walk-ins are accepted. Calling first helps the team understand your symptoms and discuss availability. An urgent visit may begin with an examination; the treatment and timing depend on what the dentist finds.

Call your office to ask about availability. A same-day evaluation or treatment may be possible, but it cannot be guaranteed before your symptoms, treatment needs, and the schedule are reviewed.

Seek dental care immediately. Handle the tooth by its crown, avoid touching the root, and keep it moist, such as in milk, while arranging urgent care. Tell the office that the tooth has been knocked out.

Keep the restoration if you have it and call the office. Describe any pain or sensitivity and explain when it came out. The dentist needs to examine the tooth to determine whether the restoration can be repaired or replaced.

Call 911 or seek emergency medical care for a life-threatening situation. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious facial injury needs immediate medical attention.

All offices accept Medicaid. Coverage for the exam, imaging, and treatment depends on your plan and eligibility. Ask the office to review your benefits and discuss an estimate and payment options.

Bring your photo ID, insurance card, and current medication list. Tell the team about allergies, relevant health conditions, and what happened. Bring a broken tooth fragment or loose crown if you have it.
