What To Do in a Dental Emergency (Before You Reach Us)
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out or partially dislodged tooth requires immediate attention. If you can, place the tooth back in its socket and hold it with your other teeth until you receive emergency care. If this isn’t possible, preserve the tooth in a small milk container. If replaced in the socket by Dr. Diego Azar or one of our emergency dentists within the proper timeframe and held secure with a splint, your tooth may be saved. If not, a permanent dental implant may be an option for replacing your tooth.
Persistent Toothache
Broken Tooth
Tooth Abscess
Dry Socket
Every one of our offices meets the latest safety and sterilization standards — because urgent care should never mean compromised care.

How Much Does an Emergency Dentist Cost?
Emergency dental costs depend entirely on what's wrong. Most visits begin with an emergency exam and X-ray so we can diagnose the problem — from there, the cost depends on whether you need something simple like a filling repair, or a root canal, crown or extraction.
What affects your cost
- Emergency exam & X-ray
- The treatment needed
- Your insurance coverage
- Whether follow-up care is required
Dental Emergency vs. Medical Emergency
Most dental problems — even painful ones — are best handled by an emergency dentist rather than a hospital emergency room. An ER can manage your pain and treat an infection, but they typically can't save a knocked-out tooth, place a crown, or perform a root canal. You'd likely be referred back to a dentist anyway.
- Severe or sudden toothache
- Knocked-out or cracked tooth
- Abscess or dental infection
- Lost filling or crown
- Broken denture
- Painful, swollen or bleeding gums
- Jaw fracture or suspected broken jaw
- Uncontrollable bleeding
- Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing
- Facial injury from serious trauma
For everything else, an emergency dentist is faster — and can actually treat the problem.
