Don’t Wait When You Need Emergency Dental Treatment

If you have a toothache, an infected or abscessed tooth, or a dental injury, you'll want to visit us immediately to resolve the issue. Whatever your situation, our team of dental professionals is prepared to help using a variety of services:
  • Root Canals - An infected tooth can make eating difficult. It also can lead to abscesses that are painful all the time. This is not a problem that will go away on its own. A root canal procedure can remove the infected tissue, repair your tooth, and get you back to feeling like yourself.
  • Dental Crowns - If you have a large cavity, a broken tooth, or a cracked tooth, you can get a crown to rebuild the tooth. It will allow you to bite and chew comfortably again.
  • Dental Bridge - If you lose one tooth or a few teeth to an accident, we can replace them with a bridge.
  • Dentures - If you lose an entire row of teeth, dentures can replace them.
  • Dental Implants - Implants can support your crown, bridge, or dentures so you can feel like you have healthy, strong teeth again.
An oral emergency can cause you to feel anxious for many reasons. Knowing who you can call can make a difference. So can visiting a practice that prioritizes patient comfort. In addition to providing amenities for our patients, we offer three levels of dental sedation for pain-free and worry-free treatment.

Common Questions About Dental Emergencies

Can I prevent dental emergencies?

No one can anticipate every possible dental emergency, but you can take steps to reduce your odds of having such a problem. Following ADA recommendations - brushing and flossing daily, getting regular dental cleanings - reduces your risk of tooth infections and gum disease. Wearing athletic mouthguards during sports can protect your teeth from injuries.

What can you do for my dental emergency?

When you see us for an emergency, one of our first goals will be to get you out of pain. We will determine the cause of the emergency and work to alleviate any pain as soon as possible. In addition, we have several reliable sedation options to help calm any anxious nerves you may be experiencing. Your comfort is our top concern.

Can they treat dental emergencies in the ER?

In most cases, you do not need to visit an emergency room to treat a dental emergency, especially since most ERs do not have a dentist on staff. Our doctors and dental professionals at Butte Family Dental are prepared to treat any oral health problem you may have. You should go to an emergency room if you are facing a life-threatening situation, however.

What are some common dental emergencies?

Common dental emergencies include toothaches caused by cavities or infection, cracked or broken teeth, and broken dental restorations. With our team's years in practice, we have significant experience in handling all these situations. We will relieve your discomfort and restore your mouth to health with restorative treatments.
