Emergency Dentistry Q&A
What is emergency dentistry?
Emergency dentistry describes services to address oral health issues that require immediate medical attention, such as:
- Gum infection
- Broken or knocked-out tooth
- Tooth or jaw pain
- Broken tooth restoration (crown, implant)
Some dental emergencies can be life-threatening. For instance, an untreated tooth abscess can spread infection to other areas of the body.
George Family Dental Care offers comprehensive dental emergency care for adults and children. Dr. George uses the latest techniques to diagnose and treat dental emergencies to prevent additional complications.
Flexible scheduling is available for same-day appointments to address infections, injuries, and other urgent care situations.

Schedule an emergency dentistry appointment at George Family Dental Care if you experience an injury to your teeth or jaw, or develop sudden or severe symptoms like:
- Severe pain
- Fractured tooth
- Inflamed or bleeding gums
- Facial swelling
- Lost or broken filling, crown, bridge, or implant
You should also schedule an emergency dental visit if you or your child experiences a high fever, discharge from the gums, increased sensitivity to hot and cold, or other symptoms of an infection or abscess.
If you’re not sure whether or not you need immediate care, call the office to discuss your symptoms with the staff.
