Dental emergencies

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them—whether it's a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or an injury to your mouth. At Highland Village Family Dentistry, we offer same-day emergency dental care to relieve pain quickly and protect your oral health.

Common dental emergencies include:

• Severe toothache or sensitivity
   
• Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
   
• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
   
• Lost fillings or crowns
   
• Dental abscesses or swelling
   
• Injuries to the gums, lips, or jaw
   

Possible treatment options:

• Fillings – Used to repair minor damage caused by decay or small fractures.
   
• Crowns – Restore and protect badly damaged or broken teeth, especially after trauma.
   
• Root Canal Therapy – Needed when an infection reaches the pulp of the tooth, helping save the natural tooth and relieve pain.
   
• Extractions – Sometimes necessary if a tooth is too damaged or infected to be restored.
   

Our priority is to get you out of pain and restore your smile with the most appropriate treatment. If you're experiencing a dental emergency, call us immediately—we're here to help.
