We understand that dental emergencies disrupt your day and demand immediate attention. That’s why we’ve structured our schedule to accommodate urgent visits quickly. When a dental emergency happens, you don’t have time to search endlessly. You need a nearby, trusted provider who can act fast.

• Monday–Friday: 8 AM–5 PM (Same-day emergency slots reserved)

We answer emergency calls during business hours and provide clear instructions if your issue happens after hours.

We treat a wide range of urgent dental issues, including:

• Severe toothaches
• Abscesses and infections
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Lost fillings or crowns
• Dental injuries from accidents or sports

Pain relief is our #1 priority.
Dr. Shrestha personally handles all dental emergencies with no referrals to unfamiliar specialists. Digital X-rays are available the same day for fast, accurate diagnosis.

• Severe toothaches often indicate infection deep within the tooth or surrounding tissues. The pain can be constant or triggered by temperature changes and pressure. Without treatment, the infection spreads, potentially causing abscesses and bone loss.
• Knocked-out teeth require immediate action. If you can get to us within 30 minutes and the tooth is properly preserved, we may be able to reimplant it successfully. Time matters significantly in these cases.
• Broken or chipped teeth create sharp edges that can cut your tongue or cheeks. They also expose sensitive inner tooth layers to bacteria, increasing infection risk. Even if the break doesn’t hurt initially, it needs prompt attention to prevent complications.
• Lost crowns or fillings leave tooth structure vulnerable. The exposed area is often sensitive to temperature and pressure. Bacteria can enter the tooth, causing decay or infection. Temporary measures can provide short-term relief, but you need professional restoration quickly.
• Abscesses are pockets of pus caused by bacterial infection. They appear as painful, swollen areas on the gums and can cause fever and facial swelling. Abscesses are serious infections requiring immediate treatment to prevent spread to other body areas.

• For knocked-out teeth, handle the tooth by the crown only, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk or saliva. For broken teeth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces.
• For severe pain, rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on gums, as this can burn tissue. For lost crowns, you can temporarily reattach them with dental cement from a pharmacy, but this is only a short-term solution.
