Fast Relief When You Need It Most

I loved my experience with Dr. Rauch . . . the staff were all friendly and professional, and the comfy couch in the lobby was awesome! My broken tooth was extracted painlessly, not even pain during the injections. Perfectly wonderful in every way.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes a dental emergency?
Common causes include oral trauma, severe tooth decay, cracked or chipped teeth, sudden infections, and untreated dental pain.
What happens during an emergency dental visit?
Your dentist assesses your symptoms, provides relief, stabilizes the problem, and plans any follow-up care.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Keep the tooth moist and see your dentist immediately—quick action improves the chance of saving the tooth.
What happens if I ignore a broken tooth?
Ignoring a broken tooth can lead to infection, increased pain, and more complex dental treatment later.

Can I take pain relief before seeing a dentist?
Yes. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage pain, but do not replace professional care.
Is a cracked tooth always an emergency?
Not always. Minor cracks without pain can wait for a scheduled visit, but cracks causing sharp pain or bleeding need urgent care.
How can I reduce bleeding before seeing a dentist?
Use clean gauze and gentle pressure for 15–20 minutes; a cold compress can also help reduce bleeding and swelling.
