Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry

What should I do if I have severe tooth pain?

Call our office immediately for same-day emergency care. While waiting, you can take over-the-counter pain medication as directed and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums, as this can cause tissue damage.

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans including VA benefits, Humana, Cigna, and Optum for emergency dental care. Our team verifies coverage and explains your benefits before treatment.
