FAQs About Emergency Dental Care
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Any situation causing severe pain, bleeding, or potential long-term damage (such as a knocked-out tooth or infection) should be treated as an emergency.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
While ERs can manage pain or infections, they may not have the tools to treat dental problems directly. It’s best to see an emergency dentist for immediate care.
Do you accept same-day emergency appointments?
Yes, we prioritize same-day appointments for dental emergencies whenever possible. Call us at (509) 260-8119 for availability.
What should I do if I lose a crown or filling?
Save the crown or filling if possible. Avoid chewing on the affected side and call us to schedule a repair. Learn more about repairing dental crowns or fillings.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
Routine dental checkups, wearing mouthguards during sports, and avoiding chewing hard objects (like ice or pens) can help reduce the risk of emergencies. Schedule your next visit with our general dentistry team for preventive care.
