Emergency Dental Care
Do you need emergency dental care? We recommend you simply call our skilled emergency dentist Chandler team if you have a toothache, severe tooth pain, or other dental problem that is bothering you or worrying you.
We often treat these types of emergencies:
- Chipped or broken teeth.
- A tooth that has been knocked out.
- Moderate to severe tooth pain.
- Loose teeth.
If you don’t know why a tooth is hurting, there may be a serious underlying cause, such as an infection in the root canal. Once we diagnose the problem, we will often be able to resolve it in the same appointment. We know your time is valuable, so call us right away for emergency dental care.
Diagnosing a Dental Emergency
Sometimes, it is difficult to know for sure if your toothache is a true emergency. You may not know if a tooth is supposed to be that loose; you often don’t know if a tooth pain will go away naturally or will get worse.
That’s why the most important first step in emergency dentistry is to get your dental issue diagnosed. We have years of experience in quickly going through our checklist to find the main cause of the issue.
Often, dental equipment is the only way to get a real diagnosis. An x-ray scanner, intraoral camera, high-powered lights, and even a dental mirror can all be used in your diagnosis.
Avoid Dental Emergencies Before They Occur
Regular dental checkups are key to avoiding emergencies. Additionally, wearing a protective mouthguard during sports activities can help. By identifying potential issues like cracked teeth or aging fillings early, we can address them before they become emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, loose teeth, or any issue that causes sudden pain or concern.
What should I do if I have a severe toothache?
Rinse with warm water, gently floss to remove debris, and call the dental office right away for a same-day appointment.
Can I be seen the same day for an emergency?
Yes — the emergency dentist often offers same-day care to diagnose and treat urgent dental problems quickly.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Keep the tooth moist (in milk or saliva) and contact your emergency dentist immediately — prompt care improves the chance of saving the tooth.
Is a lost filling or crown an emergency?
Yes — a lost filling or crown can expose the tooth and cause pain or damage, so it’s best to be seen right away.
Will emergency treatment help prevent bigger problems later?
Prompt emergency care can relieve pain, prevent infection, and often avoid more extensive treatment down the line.
