A dental emergency can be very stressful (and often painful!). The friendly staff at Today’s Dental is here to help with an unexpected dental crisis.
Same-Day Emergency Appointments
If you are an existing patient and have a dental emergency, you need to be seen by a dentist as soon as possible. Delaying dental care could result in more serious problems or even tooth loss. Our dental clinics offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies exclusively for our current patients.
If you have a dental emergency, please call our office right away so our team can schedule a same-day appointment. Existing patients should avoid waiting to seek care, as prompt attention can prevent further complications. If it is after hours, you will be connected to the after-hours service who will contact the dentist who is on-call.
We accept most insurance plans to make emergency dental services accessible for our existing patients.
Types of Dental Problems
Dental problems can vary widely, from minor discomfort to serious conditions that require immediate attention. Some of the most common dental issues include tooth decay, gum disease, and injuries to the mouth. While some problems may only cause mild pain or sensitivity, others can quickly become dental emergencies—such as severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or a knocked out tooth. Recognizing the signs of a dental emergency is crucial for protecting your oral health. If you experience sudden pain, swelling, or bleeding, it’s important to seek emergency dental care as soon as possible. Practicing good oral hygiene and keeping up with regular dental care can help prevent many dental emergencies, but if you do find yourself facing a serious dental issue, don’t wait—immediate attention can make all the difference in saving your tooth and preventing further complications.
