Emergency Dentist
in Henderson
In pain? Call us first — we'll tell you exactly what to do next. Whether it's a toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, one call gets you a straight answer and a clear next step. We see new and existing patients — serving Henderson and the Las Vegas valley.
Leave a message and we'll call you back to get you scheduled. For severe swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or facial trauma, don't wait on a call back — go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
Not sure if it's urgent? Call — 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.
Severe toothache
Sharp, throbbing pain that doesn't ease with an over-the-counter pain reliever — especially if it's keeping you up at night or spreading toward your jaw or ear. Call us; we'll help you figure out what's going on before you decide anything.
Call todayBroken or chipped tooth
A crack, chip, or break — from a fall, a hard bite, or an old filling giving way. Save any piece you can find and call us; how quickly you're seen often affects how the tooth can be repaired.
Save the pieceLost crown or filling
A crown or filling that's come loose or fallen out leaves sensitive tooth structure exposed underneath. It's rarely an emergency on its own, but call soon so we can protect what's exposed.
Call soonSwelling or abscess
Facial swelling, a bump on the gum, or a bad taste that won't go away can point to an infection. Infections can move quickly, so call us the same day you notice it.
Call right awayKnocked out a tooth? Here's what to do.
- 1Pick it up by the crown — the chewing surface — never by the root.
- 2Rinse it gently with water if it's dirty. No soap, no scrubbing.
- 3Try to set it back in the socket. If that's not possible, keep it in a cup of milk.
- 4Call us immediately — we'll walk you through the rest on the phone.
Exam first. Pain relief first. Then a plan.
No treatment lecture while you're hurting. We move in order — see what's going on, get you comfortable, and only then talk about what comes next.
Exam & imaging
A focused exam and the X-ray or imaging that shows what's actually going on — nothing more than what's needed to see the problem clearly.
Diagnostic examRelieve the pain first
Before any conversation about long-term treatment, we get you comfortable. That comes first, always.
Comfort firstStabilize, then decide
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.
Plain languageA 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.
Outside the cheekOver-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.
As directed on labelSkip 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.
Cold, not warmSave 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.
