Prompt, Caring Treatment When It Matters Most
Dental emergencies can arise at any time, and when they do, quick and dependable care is essential. At Dr. French Aesthetics, our team is prepared to deliver urgent dental treatment to ease discomfort, safeguard your oral health, and prevent further issues. Whether you’re dealing with intense tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or damaged dental work, we’re here to restore your comfort and peace of mind as quickly as possible.
What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry is designed to address unexpected, painful, or urgent dental concerns that need immediate care. When left untreated, these problems can lead to infection, lasting damage, or the need for more complex treatment in the future.
Common Dental Emergencies We Handle
Severe Toothache or Pain
Persistent, intense pain may indicate decay, infection, or nerve damage that requires immediate attention.
Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth
Fractured teeth can expose sensitive inner layers and often need repair with bonding, crowns, or other restorative treatments.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A completely dislodged permanent tooth requires urgent care. Keep it in milk or saline and visit our office immediately to increase the chance of saving it.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
Replacing lost dental work quickly helps prevent further damage and alleviates discomfort.
Abscess or Dental Infection
Swelling, fever, and throbbing pain may signal an infection that needs antibiotics, drainage, or prompt treatment.
Broken or Loose Dental Appliances
Damaged bridges, dentures, or braces can cause discomfort or harm if not repaired promptly.

- Use gauze to help control bleeding.
- Never place aspirin directly on your gums or teeth.
- If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk or a tooth preservation solution until you can reach a dentist.
