Emergency Dentistry in East Las Vegas.

Urgent Dental Care

Broken tooth, lost crown or pain that won't stop? Call us and we'll fit you in as soon as we can.

When to seek emergency care?

A toothache doesn't go away on its own. It's often a sign of infection, and infections can spread if you wait.

Severe pain, swelling, bleeding that won't stop or an injury to the mouth means you shouldn't wait. We relieve the pain first, find the cause and explain what it will take to fix it.

Urgent Treatments

What we treat when you come in with a dental emergency.

Emergency Dental Exams

We examine the problem area and take X-rays if needed. Our first priority is getting you out of pain. Then we go over your options.

Call us first so we can fit you in

X-rays to find the cause

Pain relief comes first

Root Canal Therapy

Throbbing tooth pain usually means infection inside the tooth. A root canal treats it. We numb the tooth, clean out the infected tissue and seal it, so you keep your tooth.

Saves the natural tooth instead of pulling it

Treats the infection and relieves the pain

Done with local anesthetic

Tooth Extractions

We save the tooth when we can. When decay or damage has gone too far, we numb the area fully and remove it. That includes problem wisdom teeth.

Fully numbed before we start

Wisdom tooth evaluation and extraction

We go over replacement options, like implants

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Anything that needs prompt treatment to stop bleeding, relieve severe pain or save a tooth. That includes a knocked-out tooth, a severe toothache, an abscess or swelling, and a cracked or broken tooth.

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

Act quickly. Pick up the tooth by the crown (the top part), not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it gently, but don't scrub it. Try to put it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it moist in a small container of milk or inside your cheek. Call us right away. A tooth is most likely to be saved if it's treated within an hour.

Does a root canal hurt?

Not usually. The pain comes from the infection inside the tooth. The root canal is done with local anesthetic and feels much like getting a filling. It relieves the pain rather than causing it.

Can I just go to the ER for a toothache?

An ER can give you antibiotics or pain medicine, but most don't have a dentist on staff and can't fix the problem itself, such as with an extraction or a root canal. A dentist can.

What should I do if my temporary crown falls off?

Keep the crown and call us. It needs to be cemented back on to protect the tooth underneath and prevent sensitivity. Until we see you, a little dental cement from the drugstore, or toothpaste, can hold it in place.
