When Might You Need Urgent Dental Care?
The main purpose of urgent dental care is to stabilize your condition and provide you with pain relief while also preventing further damage. Urgent dental care can help to prevent an infection from spreading, which preserves your oral health. An emergency dentist treats accidental injuries along with other oral conditions that tend to increase in severity when left alone.
- Our on call dentist offer services such as the following:
- Repairing cracked and chipped teeth
- Treating dental infections
- Relieving toothache pain
- Extracting damaged or diseased teeth
When Should I Call for Emergency Dental in Mequon?
- Tooth fractures and breaks
- Traumatic tooth loss
- Serious pain
- Tooth abscess
Tooth Fractures and Breaks
Some tooth fractures might not cause immediate pain, but they will get worse without treatment. When you come to our office, we can use an x-ray to diagnose the break and suggest the best treatment for restoring your tooth.
Traumatic Tooth Loss
Staying calm and applying first aid might help our dentist save your tooth. If you can locate the tooth, then hold it by the crown and rinse it off with water. You can then hold it in your mouth or in a cup of milk. Calling us as soon as possible gives you the best odds of being able to preserve your tooth.
Serious Pain or Pressure Sensations
Dental problems that cause severe pain are not always visible in the mirror. Emergency dentists have strategies they can use to diagnose infections, deep cavities, and tooth fractures to select the best treatment.
Deep Cavities
Dental decay that manages to invade the pulp of your tooth can get very painful. Our dentists might be able to save the tooth with a filling, crown, or root canal.
A Gum Boil or Tooth Abscess
This dental emergency can spread to the surrounding teeth and gums. We encourage you to contact us for emergency dental treatment if you notice the symptoms of an abscessed tooth.
The following symptoms warrant an immediate call to 911 or a visit to your nearest 24-hour emergency clinic at a hospital or urgent care facility.
- Bleeding that won’t stop within a short period of time
- Major facial swelling
- Challenges with breathing
- Oral injuries from a traumatic accident such as a broken jaw
We accept most dental health insurance plans, credit cards, and have financing options available. Our dental clinic also accepts the Dentrite® dental discount plan.

Instead, you’ll have access to discounted dental services anytime you have an emergency or are ready for routine care.
