Dental Emergency?
Call us immediately — we offer same-day emergency appointments.
We're Here When It Matters Most
Dental emergencies don't wait for convenient timing. A knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or dental abscess can be frightening — and delaying treatment can turn a manageable problem into a serious one. That's why Italian Smiles makes every effort to see emergency patients the same day they call.
Our experienced team is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies quickly, comfortably, and effectively. If you're in pain or have experienced a dental injury, call us right away — we'll get you in as soon as possible.
Common Dental Emergencies & What to Do
Severe Toothache
Rinse with warm water, floss gently to remove any debris. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth. Call us immediately.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root). Rinse gently — do not scrub. Try to reinsert it or keep it in milk or saliva. Call us within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
Rinse with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on that side. Call us right away.
Lost Filling or Crown
If possible, keep the crown and bring it with you. Dental cement from a pharmacy can temporarily protect the tooth. Call us to schedule a same-day repair.
Dental Abscess
An abscess is a serious infection that can spread. Rinse with mild saltwater. Do not delay — call us immediately or go to an emergency room if we're unavailable.
Soft Tissue Injury
Rinse with mild saltwater. Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding. If bleeding doesn't stop within 15 minutes, go to an emergency room.
Object Caught Between Teeth
Try to gently remove it with dental floss — never use sharp objects. If you can't remove it, call us.
Broken Braces or Wire
Cover sharp ends with orthodontic wax. Do not cut the wire. Call us to schedule a repair.
