What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Time matters. Here’s what you can do right away:
- Call us immediately – We reserve time every day for urgent care.
- Don’t delay – Waiting can lead to more pain or complications.
- Handle knocked-out teeth carefully – Place them in milk or saliva and bring them with you.
- Avoid aspirin – Use acetaminophen instead, especially if there’s bleeding.
What Happens During Your Emergency Visit
Immediate Evaluation
We’ll get you in quickly and begin with a focused assessment. Using digital X-rays and CBCT imaging, we get a clear view of what’s happening below the surface—so we can diagnose the problem precisely and without delay.
Pain Relief and Stabilization
Once we understand the issue, we focus on relieving your pain and stopping the problem from progressing. We use gentle techniques and offer comfort options like nitrous oxide or oral sedation to keep you calm and relaxed throughout.
Clear Treatment Plan
After your symptoms are managed, Dr. Norris will walk you through what we found, what needs to happen next, and how we’ll approach it—step by step. You’ll leave with answers, not uncertainty.
Follow-Up Care
If more care is needed, we’ll book your next visit around your schedule and explain any insurance or financial details clearly. No pressure, no confusion—just a straightforward plan that works for you.
