What counts as an emergency

Not sure if it's urgent? Call, and we'll tell you.

These are the situations that usually mean call today, not wait it out. When in doubt, call anyway. A quick phone conversation is the fastest way to know what to do next.

01 · Pain

Severe toothache

Sharp, throbbing pain that an over-the-counter pain reliever does not ease. Worse if it keeps you up at night or spreads toward your jaw or ear. Call us.

Call today
02 · Damage

Broken or chipped tooth

A crack, chip or break, from a fall, a hard bite or an old filling. Save any piece and call us. How soon you are seen can change the repair.

Save the piece
03 · Restoration

Lost crown or filling

A loose or lost crown or filling leaves sensitive tooth exposed. It is rarely an emergency on its own, but call soon so we can protect it.

Call soon
04 · Infection

Swelling or abscess

Facial swelling, a bump on the gum, or a bad taste that will not go away can mean an infection. Infections can move fast, so call the same day.

What happens when you come in

Exam first. Pain relief first. Then a plan.

A focused exam and the X-ray or imaging that shows what's actually going on, and nothing more than what's needed to see the problem clearly.

Before any conversation about long-term treatment, we get you comfortable. That comes first, always. Once you're stable and the pain is under control, Dr. Goh walks you through what he found and what your options are, in plain language, before anything else happens.

Before your visit

A few things that help while you wait.

None of this replaces a call. It just makes the wait more comfortable.

  • Cold compress

    Ice or a cold pack wrapped in a cloth, held against the outside of your cheek, can ease swelling and take the edge off until we see you.

  • Over-the-counter pain relief

    An over-the-counter pain reliever, taken as directed on the label, can help you get comfortable. Not sure what's right for you? Ask your pharmacist.

  • Skip the heat

    Heat feels soothing, but on a swollen area it can feed the swelling rather than calm it. Stick with cold, not warm, until we've had a look.

  • Save any pieces

    A broken tooth, a lost crown, a filling that came loose: if you have the piece, bring it with you. It often makes the difference in how we can restore it.

Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, and MetLife are among the plans we're in-network with, and we file a claim for every PPO plan whether we're in-network or not. Call to verify your specific plan before your visit, so cost is never a surprise on top of everything else.

The honest answers.

6 questions
No. Dental emergencies are welcome whether or not you've been here before. Call us, tell us what's going on, and we'll get you to the right next step either way.
Pick it up by the crown (the chewing surface), never by the root. Rinse it gently with water if it's dirty. No soap, no scrubbing. Try to set it back in the socket. If that's not possible, keep it in a cup of milk. Call us immediately, and we'll walk you through the rest on the phone.
Call first and tell us what's going on. Emergencies get priority, and we'll tell you honestly when we can get you in. No guessing, no waiting-room roulette.
It depends entirely on what's actually needed, so we don't quote a number over the phone. The exam comes first, then everything is explained and written down before any treatment starts. We submit claims to most PPO plans; call to verify yours.
Call anyway. Telling us what you're feeling takes two minutes, and we'll give you an honest answer about whether it needs to be seen or can safely wait. One exception: for severe swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or facial trauma, skip the call and go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
Not as a default. Dr. Goh's goal is to save the tooth whenever that's a realistic option, and he'll walk you through what's possible before deciding anything. Extraction is discussed as one option among others, never the automatic answer.
