A comprehensive emergency exam allows us to identify the source of the issue—whether it’s a cracked tooth, abscess, or injury—so we can begin effective treatment right away.

Treatments

From emergency fillings and extractions to managing infections and dental trauma, we provide fast, effective solutions using advanced tools and techniques.

Recovery

After urgent care, we’ll guide you through a personalized recovery plan, including pain management, follow-up visits, and tips to avoid future emergencies.

Emergency Dentistry Q&A

Emergency dentistry offers urgent treatment for oral health issues that can’t wait. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, severe pain, or a broken dental restoration, timely care is critical. At Maple Dental, we’re equipped to handle dental emergencies quickly so you can avoid complications and get back to smiling.

At Maple Dental, we provide emergency dental care for a variety of issues, including:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Knocked-out or loose teeth
  • Sudden, intense toothaches
  • Gum infections or abscesses
  • Persistent oral bleeding
  • Foreign objects stuck in teeth
  • Broken crowns, bridges, or fillings
  • Damaged braces or other appliances

We also treat dental injuries resulting from accidents, sports, or falls.

Severe toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief. Brush gently and avoid chewing on the painful side. If pain lasts more than 24 hours, call Maple Dental right away.

Knocked-out permanent tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to place it back in its socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in your mouth or place it in a cup of milk. Then, contact Maple Dental for urgent care.

Damaged dental restoration
If a crown, filling, or bridge comes loose or breaks, collect any fragments and store them safely. Call our office for a same-day visit to repair or replace the restoration.

Prevent dental emergencies by brushing and flossing daily, visiting us twice a year for cleanings, and wearing a mouthguard during sports. Avoid chewing ice, opening things with your teeth, or biting hard objects. These small steps go a long way in protecting your smile.
