Post-op assessmentDental emergencies don't follow office hours. That's why our practice maintains extended evening and weekend availability for urgent cases. When you call, you'll speak with our team immediately—not an answering service.
Dr. Singh and our clinical team prioritize emergency cases. If you're in severe pain or have suffered trauma, we'll fit you in same-day. Many emergencies can be treated in one appointment, while others require follow-up care.
IV sedation is available for anxious patients or complex trauma cases. If your emergency involves potential jaw fracture or serious trauma, we can arrange referral to an oral surgeon if needed.

Immediate first aid while you wait for care
For a knocked-out tooth: Rinse gently with water. Do NOT scrub or remove tissue. If possible, hold the tooth by the crown, place it back in the socket, and bite on gauze to keep it in place. If you cannot re-insert it, place it in a glass of milk or saliva and bring it to your appointment immediately. Time is critical—the sooner we can reimplant, the better the prognosis.
For severe pain: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Do NOT use aspirin against the tooth or gum. Over-the-counter pain relievers (ibuprofen, acetaminophen) may help. Avoid extremely hot or cold foods. Call us immediately—we'll fit you in for emergency treatment.
For a cracked tooth: Rinse with salt water and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on that tooth. If a piece is loose or missing, bring it with you to your appointment. Until we can examine you, eat soft foods and avoid chewing on that side.
For a lost crown or filling: Do NOT try to reattach it yourself. Place the crown in a safe place and bring it to your appointment. Avoid chewing hard foods. If the exposed tooth is sensitive, over-the-counter pain relievers may help. We can usually re-cement or replace it same-day.
For abscess or swelling: Rinse with warm salt water frequently. Apply warm compresses outside the area. If fever is present or swelling is spreading, seek immediate care. Do not self-treat with antibiotics—we need to assess the source. Call us right away.
