Happy Customers
Yay! Finally a dental clinic close to my home. When I saw that there’s a new dental office nearby I immediately change my dentist. Dr Yoo is very professional as well as her staff Riley, very friendly and nice atmosphere. I like this Clinic because they’re straight forward won’t push you to do something. I highly recommend them.
The Tooth Doctor did an amazing job on my root canal. No pain whatsoever. They are different from previous dentists that I have had, explained everything, gave me options and was very gentle. Wish I had come here for my previous dental work. The team is wonderful as well. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you all for the amazing service.
I had to get one of my wisdom teeth removed. The entire process was so quick and professional. It was so painless that i said “are you serious?” when I was told it was already done.
The Importance of Dental Care – Do This Before Your Emergency Appointment
Here are some things you can do prior to your appointment with us. These things can minimize pain as well as further damage before arriving:
Tooth or Jaw Pain – With warm water, gently rinse your mouth. If the pain is in between teeth, try lightly flossing to remove any potentially trapped debris or food.
Teeth that Have Been Knocked-Out – Do not touch the root, and gently put the knocked-out tooth in a container of salt water or milk. Bring the tooth with you to your appointment to ensure proper reattachment in the socket.
Chipped a Tooth, or Broken, Cracked Teeth – If you have any fragments, save them, and bring the pieces with you to your appointment, then gently rinse with warm water before applying a cold compress. This will reduce the instances of swelling in the injured area.
Lost Crowns and Fillings – To protect the exposed area, and prevent further damage, place sugar free gum or dental wax over the exposed and sensitive area.

Frequently Asked Dental Emergency Questions
How do I know if my dental issue is an emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or visible damage that requires immediate attention. If you have a knocked-out tooth, broken tooth, unbearable ache, infected area of the mouth, or uncontrolled bleeding, you should contact a dentist right away. Ignoring the problem could lead to more serious complications or permanent damage.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out entirely?
If your tooth has been knocked out, time is critical—try to get to a dentist within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving it. Pick up the tooth by the crown (top part), not the root, and gently rinse it if it’s dirty. If possible, place it back in the socket or store it in milk or saline solution until you reach us.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
While hospital ERs can help with pain management, infections, or excessive bleeding, they do not perform dental services like extractions, fillings, or root canals. If you have severe facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or uncontrollable bleeding, visit the ER immediately, especially if you can get in sooner. Otherwise, an in-office dentist is your best option for treating the issue.
How much does emergency treatment cost?
The cost depends on the type of treatment needed. Common emergency treatments include fillings, extractions, root canals, and crowns, with prices varying based on severity. Many dentists offer direct insurance billing and flexible payment options to help make care more accessible. It’s always best to call the office to discuss your situation and get an estimate.
What can I do to manage pain before seeing a dentist?
If you’re in pain, you can try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water, applying a cold compress, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it can cause irritation. For knocked-out or broken teeth, or infections, seek professional care immediately to prevent further damage.
