What are Dental Emergencies?
A dental emergency can truly affect the quality of your life, preventing you from doing or eating what you want. Unfortunately, emergencies can strike at any time, leaving you in pain and severe discomfort. If you’re experiencing an emergency, we welcome you into our office to receive treatment.

Why do you need treatment for Dental Emergencies?
If you do not treat a dental emergency in a timely fashion, it can and will eventually get worse. This can cause a small issue to become larger, causing the need for more drastic intervention.
