Relieve Pain & Trauma With Emergency Dental Care
Most dental issues can be addressed during a regularly scheduled visit — but some problems simply can't wait. Severe tooth pain, swelling, bleeding, or trauma requires immediate attention, even after hours or on weekends.
Prompt dental treatment can help preserve teeth and function while reducing the risk of serious infections that can have long-term consequences. Emergency dental care can also alleviate severe pain so patients can continue to meet work and family responsibilities. It is also an intelligent alternative to traditional emergency rooms, which can only offer limited care and tend to charge exorbitant fees.
Our Approach To Emergency Dental Care
At Gentle Dental, we understand that dental emergencies don't follow a nine-to-five schedule. That's why our approach to emergency care ensures you can get the urgent treatment you need as soon as possible – day or night.
Same-Day Appointments
During regular office hours, our team will make every effort to accommodate emergency cases with a same-day appointment. When you call our office, one of our caring treatment coordinators will provide guidance on how to temporarily relieve your symptoms until you can be seen promptly by the dentist.
After Hours Care
If your emergency occurs outside our standard office hours, existing patients can use our after-hours on-call service. Simply follow the prompts when calling our main office number to leave a message for the on-call dentist. One of our knowledgeable emergency dentists will return your call as soon as possible to discuss your situation and determine the best course of action.

When To Seek Emergency Dental Care
Emergency dental care is typically needed to address mouth trauma, broken teeth, and loosened or broken fillings. However, it’s not always easy for patients to determine whether their specific affliction requires emergency dental care.
In most cases, you can identify an emergency dental or oral issue by asking yourself any of the following:
- Are you experiencing severe pain or bleeding?
- Have you lost a tooth that could be saved with prompt treatment?
- Do you have a loose adult tooth?
- Are you showing signs of an infection, including fever, a foul smell, or swelling around the gums or face?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should seek prompt care from one of the attentive dental professionals at your nearest Gentle Dental.
