Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and often require prompt attention. Whether you are experiencing tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or another urgent concern, timely care can help relieve discomfort and reduce the chance of further complications.

At Cohen & Cohen Dental Group, emergency dental care is provided with a focus on responsiveness, clear guidance, and patient support. Our team works to arrange urgent appointments as quickly as possible when emergencies arise.

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Some dental concerns require faster attention than routine scheduling. Situations that may be considered emergencies include:

  • Swelling of the gums or face
  • Knocked-out teeth
  • Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
  • Bleeding that does not stop
  • Injury to the teeth or mouth
  • Signs of infection or abscess

If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, contacting the office is the best first step.

What Should You Do First?

If a dental emergency occurs, call the office as soon as possible. Our team can provide guidance based on your symptoms and help determine the next steps before your visit.

Depending on the concern, recommendations may include protecting the affected tooth, managing discomfort, controlling swelling, or preserving a restoration until you can be seen.

Are Same-Day Emergency Visits Available?

Whenever possible, same-day emergency appointments are available for both new and existing patients. When urgent dental issues arise, reaching out promptly gives our team the best opportunity to provide timely care and relief.

While availability may vary depending on the severity of the emergency and the day's schedule, we make every effort to accommodate patients who need immediate attention.

What Happens During an Emergency Visit?

Emergency appointments focus on identifying the cause of the problem and helping stabilize the situation. The dentist may perform an examination, take digital X-rays when needed, and recommend treatment based on the findings.

Care may involve relieving discomfort, addressing infection, repairing damage, or planning follow-up treatment when additional care is necessary.

Is a Dentist Available After Hours?

One of the doctors is on call for emergency needs, providing added support when urgent concerns happen outside regular office hours.

If an emergency occurs, contacting the office is the best way to receive guidance and appropriate next steps.
