Call us today — don't wait

Severe, persistent tooth pain. Swelling in the face, jaw, or neck. A tooth that's been knocked out, broken, or loosened by trauma. Bleeding that won't stop after 10 minutes of pressure. A fever combined with oral pain. These can signal infection or damage that gets worse quickly without treatment — and in rare cases becomes a medical emergency.

Book within the week

A chipped tooth without pain. A filling that fell out. Ongoing sensitivity to hot or cold. Bleeding gums during brushing that persist for more than a few days. Bad breath that doesn't resolve with better hygiene. These aren't emergencies, but they indicate problems that will grow. Fixing them early is cheaper and less invasive.

Routine visits: every six months

Even with perfect home care, professional cleanings remove hardened tartar that brushing can't touch. Twice-yearly exams catch cavities when they're still small, screen for gum disease, and include an oral cancer check that takes under a minute. Skipping visits is the most common reason a small problem becomes a root canal.

When in doubt, call

A two-minute phone call is free. If you're not sure whether something needs an urgent appointment, describe it to us — we'll tell you honestly if it can wait. Waiting out a real problem is how small fixes become surgeries.
