Urgent Dental Care You Can Count On

At Horton Family Dental, we understand that dental emergencies can happen without warning. Whether you’re dealing with severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, or a sudden injury, our team is here to provide prompt, effective care when it matters most.

Our priority is simple: relieve your pain quickly, protect your oral health, and help you get back to feeling normal as soon as possible.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Not all dental issues can wait for a regular appointment. If you’re experiencing sudden discomfort, trauma, or visible damage to your teeth or gums, it’s important to seek care right away.

Common dental emergencies include:

Severe or persistent tooth pain

Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth

Dental abscess or signs of infection

Knocked-out or loose teeth

Swelling in the gums or face

Lost fillings or crowns causing pain

If you’re unsure, it’s always better to call—early treatment can often prevent more serious complications.

Immediate Steps You Can Take

Protect Your Smile Before You Arrive

While you’re on your way to our office, a few simple steps may help minimize damage and discomfort:

For a knocked-out tooth, gently place it back in the socket or store it in milk
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water if there is bleeding or irritation
Use a cold compress to reduce swelling
Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed
Avoid chewing on the affected area

These steps can help stabilize your condition until you receive professional care.
