Emergency Dentistry – We’re Here When You Need Us Most
Don’t Wait. Call Us Right Away.

Dental emergencies don’t keep business hours. A broken tooth, sudden swelling, or unbearable toothache can stop you in your tracks. When that happens, you don’t want to wait—you want help now.

At our Rockville office, we offer same-day emergency appointments so you can get relief fast.

If you’re in pain, call us immediately. We’ll guide you on what to do next and get you seen as quickly as possible.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Not sure if it’s serious? If you’re asking yourself, “Should I call the dentist right now?”—the answer is yes.

Common emergencies we treat include:

  • Severe toothaches or sudden pain
  • Broken, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
  • Lost fillings or crowns
  • Swelling or abscesses
  • Bleeding that doesn’t stop
  • Injury to the mouth or gums

What to Do Before You Get to Us

  • Knocked-out tooth: Keep it moist. Place it gently back in the socket, or put it in milk. Call us immediately.
  • Broken tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water. Save any pieces if you can.
  • Toothache: Rinse with warm water and floss gently to check for trapped food. Don’t put aspirin directly on your gums—it can cause burns.
  • Lost crown or filling: Keep the area clean. Temporary dental cement from the pharmacy can help until we see you.
  • Question to consider: What would give you more peace of mind—a DIY fix or knowing a dentist can see you the same day?
