What to Expect During Your Emergency Appointment

The unexpected nature of dental emergencies can be daunting. Here’s what you can expect when you visit our office for a dental emergency.

1. Upon arrival, our team will quickly assess your condition.
2. If you’re in pain, we will take measures to alleviate it as our first priority.
3. Using modern diagnostic tools, Dr. Patel or Dr. Setti will identify the root cause of your emergency.

Since dental emergencies can be particularly stressful, we offer a range of sedation dentistry options. From mild relaxation with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) that wears off quickly to deeper relaxation with oral conscious sedation or IV sedation for more complex procedures, we have options to ease stress during your visit. Dr. Patel or Dr. Setti will help you choose the most appropriate sedation method so we can address your dental emergency as efficiently and effectively as possible.

How to Manage Your Emergency Before Seeing Us

• If you have knocked out a tooth, place it in a container of milk and bring it with you.
• If you’re having a severe toothache, use warm salt water to rinse your mouth, and avoid placing aspirin on your gums.
• If you have a chipped or broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• If you have a tooth abscess, you can rinse your mouth with salt water, avoid any direct poking or prodding.
