Dental emergencies never seem to happen at a convenient time. Whether it’s a chipped tooth at lunch or a sudden toothache at 2 a.m., knowing what to do—and where to go—matters.
At Arlington Dental, we believe that if it feels like an emergency to you, it is one. That’s why we offer same-day emergency dental care to get you out of pain fast and back to smiling confidently.
Common Dental Emergencies
Call us right away if you experience:
- Severe toothache or swelling
- Broken, chipped, or knocked-out tooth
- Loose crowns or fillings
- Infection or abscess
- Bleeding that won’t stop
Even if you’re unsure how serious it is, don’t wait—small problems can become big ones quickly. “Emergencies are wake-up calls from your body,” says Arlington dentist, Dr. Joseph Reed, DMD, MAGD. “They often mean something deeper needs attention, and quick action helps prevent future pain and damage.”
What to Do Before You Arrive
If you’ve knocked out a tooth, try placing it back in the socket or keep it moist in milk until you get here. For swelling, use a cold compress, and for pain, take over-the-counter relief (avoid aspirin directly on gums—it can burn tissue).
When you arrive, our team prioritizes comfort first. Thanks to advanced technology and same-day treatment options, we can often repair damage, perform root canals, or place crowns in one visit—no waiting, no stress.
Dental emergencies can be scary, but you’re not alone. Call Arlington Dental today for same-day emergency care in Arlington and get fast, gentle relief you can trust.
