If you’ve been searching for an Emergency Dentist near you who can see you the same day, you’re in the right place.

What Happens During an Emergency Dental Visit?

Not sure what to expect when you call us in a panic? Here’s a general idea of how an emergency visit typically goes.

A same-day call to assess your situation.

When you call, our team will ask a few quick questions about your symptoms to understand how urgent your situation is and get you scheduled as soon as possible.

Pain relief as a first priority.

Once you’re in the chair, our first goal is getting you comfortable. We’ll address active pain or bleeding before moving into a full evaluation.

A review of your dental and health history

A focused exam and X-rays.

Your dentist will examine the affected area and typically take X-rays to see what’s happening below the surface, whether that’s a fracture, infection, or nerve involvement.

A clear explanation of what’s wrong.

Our Montgomery dentist will walk you through what’s causing your pain or damage in plain terms, so you understand your situation before any treatment begins.

A discussion of your treatment options.

Depending on the issue, treatment may be completed the same day or may require a follow-up visit. Either way, you’ll know the plan before you leave.

Guidance for at-home care.

If you need to manage symptoms between visits, you’ll leave with clear instructions on what to do and what to avoid.

Relief and a path forward.

Once treatment is complete, you’ll have a plan in place to prevent the same emergency from happening again.

FAQ Section

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe pain, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, or a lost restoration causing sensitivity all typically qualify as dental emergencies that need prompt attention.

What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

Try to keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or holding it in place in the socket, and call our office immediately. Acting within the first hour gives the best chance of saving the tooth.

How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?

We do our best to offer same-day appointments for emergency situations. Call as soon as symptoms start so we can get you in quickly.

Is emergency dental treatment expensive?

Cost varies depending on the treatment needed. During your visit, our team will explain your options and any associated costs before treatment begins.

What if I have severe tooth pain but no visible damage?

Tooth pain without visible damage can still indicate a serious issue, such as an infection or a crack below the surface. An exam and X-rays can identify the cause so it can be treated properly.

Should I go to the ER or a dentist for a dental emergency?

For most dental emergencies — including broken teeth, toothaches, and lost restorations — a dentist is better equipped to treat the actual problem. The ER is appropriate for uncontrolled bleeding, jaw fractures, or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing.
