What Dental Emergencies Do We Treat?
Dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly and escalate quickly. Getting timely treatment can make all the difference between saving or losing a tooth, stopping an infection, or avoiding more invasive procedures. At Grace TMJ & Urgent Dental Care, we are fully equipped to treat urgent dental problems for both adults and children.
Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat:
Severe toothaches or infections
Persistent, throbbing pain may be a sign of an underlying infection or abscess. Our team will diagnose and treat the issue to relieve your pain and protect your health.
Knocked-out or broken teeth
Dental trauma requires immediate attention. If a tooth has been knocked out or fractured, quick action can often save or restore it.
Swollen gums or facial swelling
Swelling could be a symptom of a serious infection or abscess and should never be ignored. We can address the source and prevent complications.
Cracked crowns or lost fillings
Broken dental work can expose sensitive parts of your teeth and cause pain or further damage. We offer same-day repairs to restore your smile and function.
Bleeding from the mouth after trauma or surgery
Ongoing bleeding may indicate a deeper issue. Our team will evaluate the injury and stop the bleeding safely and effectively.
We understand how stressful dental emergencies can be, and we’re committed to providing calm, supportive, and skilled care exactly when you need it.
Who Should Seek Emergency Dental Care?

- Persistent or intense tooth or jaw pain
- A knocked-out, broken, or loose tooth from injury
- Facial or gum swelling, especially with fever or drainage
- Oral bleeding that doesn’t stop with pressure

While emergency rooms can manage pain or infection temporarily, they’re not equipped for most dental procedures. It’s best to visit an emergency dentist who can provide immediate, appropriate care.
We offer same-day and walk-in appointments at all our locations. Call ahead if possible to ensure the shortest wait time.
