What counts as a dental emergency?
Anything causing pain, bleeding, or swelling usually should not wait. The most common emergencies we treat include a severe or lingering toothache, a broken, chipped, or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, and swelling or signs of infection. If you’re not sure whether your situation is urgent, call us and we’ll help you decide on the next step.
Do you see emergency patients without dental insurance?
You do not need insurance to be seen. We accept all major PPO plans and file your claims for you, and if you’re uninsured we offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry. We will always walk you through your options and give you a clear picture of any costs before treatment begins, so you can make a confident decision.
Should I go to the ER or call a dentist for tooth pain?
For most dental problems a toothache, broken tooth, lost filling, or abscess a dentist is the right place, since an ER generally cannot perform dental treatment and will refer you back to one. Head to the emergency room first only if you have uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or serious trauma to your head or jaw. Otherwise, call us at (505) 792-1585 and we’ll get you the care you need.
