When you call with a dental emergency, we assess your situation and schedule you for immediate treatment. We may provide phone guidance for temporary pain relief while you come to the clinic. Upon arrival, we examine your tooth and jaw, take digital X-rays if needed, and diagnose the problem. We then develop a treatment plan that addresses your emergency immediately. Depending on the problem, we may prescribe antibiotics for infection, perform a root canal, extract a tooth, repair a fracture, or replace a lost restoration.
