Common Dental Emergencies include:

  • A bitten lip or tongue (soft tissue trauma)
  • Broken or cracked tooth
  • Broken jaw
  • Permanent tooth that has been knocked out
  • Object caught between teeth
  • Severe toothache
  • Lost or broken filling/crown that is causing pain

There may be an emergency treatment fee for after hours office visits that varies greatly depending on the treatment needed. In an emergency situation, the fee may seem a small price to pay for immediate relief!

If you have a dental insurance policy in place, it will often help with the cost of the emergency fee as well as with the treatment itself.
