Emergencies
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Not every dental problem needs an emergency visit, but many do. Here are some of the most common reasons patients call us right away:
- A tooth that's been knocked out or badly loosened
- A cracked or broken tooth, especially one causing sharp pain (see our Cracked Teeth Treatment page for more detail)
- A lost filling or crown that leaves a tooth exposed, something we can often repair with new Fillings
- Severe, throbbing tooth pain that won't go away, which sometimes points to an infection needing Root Canal Therapy
- A tooth that's infected or abscessed and may need to come out, in which case we offer Extractions
- Bleeding, swelling, or an injury to the mouth or gums after a fall or accident
- If you're not sure whether your situation counts as an emergency, call us. We'd rather talk it through than have you guess.
The Visit
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
When you call, our team will ask a few quick questions about your symptoms so we can prepare for your visit and get you in as soon as possible. Once you arrive, we'll take X-rays if needed, check the problem area, and talk with you about what's causing the pain. Our goal is to relieve your discomfort first, then walk you through your treatment options in plain language, no confusing jargon, so you know what to expect before we move forward.
Don't Wait
What Happens If You Delay Emergency Treatment
Putting off treatment for a bad toothache, infection, or broken tooth usually doesn't make the problem go away. Pain and swelling can get worse, and an untreated infection may spread beyond the tooth. Waiting can also turn a smaller, simpler fix into a more involved treatment later. Getting seen quickly gives us more options and usually means a faster, more comfortable recovery for you.
Call for Emergency CareFrequently Asked Questions
How fast can I be seen for a dental emergency?
We do our best to see emergency patients the same day you call. Evening appointments on Monday and Wednesday give us extra flexibility if you can't come in during regular business hours. Call as soon as you notice a problem so we can find the first available time.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving significant pain, bleeding, swelling, or damage to a tooth or the surrounding tissue. This includes a knocked-out tooth, a cracked tooth, a lost crown or filling, or an infection. If you're unsure, call our office and describe your symptoms, and we'll help you decide what to do next.

Yes. Oakridge Dental accepts a broad range of major PPO and dental insurance plans, and we also offer in-house financing options for patients without coverage. Our team can check your benefits before your visit so you know what to expect.
