Immediate Attention for Wisdom Tooth Emergencies
Wisdom teeth that are impacted, infected or growing in at an angle can cause sharp pain, swelling and trouble opening your mouth. If a wisdom tooth is bothering you, we can see you quickly, find the cause and recommend the next step. If the tooth needs to come out, we offer sedation options. Learn more about Wisdom Teeth Removal.
Need Urgent Root Canal Treatment?
A tooth with a deep infection or severe decay often causes constant, throbbing pain, and it can get worse at night or when you bite down. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue from inside the tooth so the tooth can be saved. We offer urgent root canal treatment to relieve pain and protect your tooth. Learn more about Root Canal Treatment.

What to Do While You Wait for Your Appointment
These simple steps can help until you reach our office:
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
- Hold a cold compress against the outside of your cheek for pain or swelling.
- If a tooth has been knocked out, pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing and call us immediately.
- Do not place aspirin directly on your gums or tooth.
- Call us before you take any medication if you are unsure what is safe for you.
