Emergency Dentistry
What is Emergency Dentistry?
Dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly—whether due to injury, sudden pain, or an urgent oral health issue. At Hoffman Dental, we recognize that timely care is crucial to relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and protect your overall health.
Our emergency dentistry services prioritize rapid, effective treatment tailored to your unique situation, helping you regain comfort and function as quickly as possible.
Whether you’re experiencing severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, oral injuries, or infections, our skilled and compassionate team is here to provide prompt care and support when you need it most.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency?
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, here are a few steps to take before you arrive at our office:
- Stay Calm – Dental emergencies can be alarming, but staying calm will help you make the best decisions for your care.
- Manage Pain – Over-the-counter pain relievers can help reduce discomfort, but avoid aspirin, as it can increase bleeding.
- Protect Your Tooth – For knocked-out or broken teeth, rinse them gently and keep them in a clean container of milk or saline if possible. This may help preserve the tooth.
- Contact Hoffman Dental Immediately – Call us as soon as possible, and we’ll guide you on the best steps to take based on your specific situation.
Specialized Relationships
At Hoffman Dental, our commitment to your health goes beyond our own doors. There may be times when specialized care is required. In those cases, we’ve built strong, trusted relationships with dental specialists that share our health-first philosophy and dedication to patient-centered care. We refer you only to providers we would choose for ourselves and our own families—because your well-being deserves nothing less.
Rest assured, no matter the situation, you’re always in caring, capable hands.
FAQs About Emergency Dentistry
When should I see a dentist for a toothache?
If your toothache is severe, lasts more than a day or two, or is accompanied by swelling, fever, or an unpleasant taste, you should seek emergency care as it may indicate an infection or other serious issue.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Yes, if you act quickly! Bring the tooth to our office as soon as possible, ideally within an hour, and avoid touching the root.
Is emergency dental care covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover at least part of emergency dental treatment. Our team can help you understand your coverage and payment options.
