Dental Emergencies We Treat

If you're experiencing any of the following, call us immediately. We'll get you in as fast as possible.

Severe Toothache

Intense or throbbing tooth pain can signal infection, a cracked tooth, or an exposed nerve. We diagnose the cause and relieve your pain quickly.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is critical. Keep the tooth moist, handle it by the crown only, and call us immediately. Reimplantation is possible if you act within an hour.

Cracked or Broken Tooth

A fractured tooth can expose sensitive inner tissue and worsen rapidly. We stabilize and restore broken teeth to prevent further damage.

Dental Abscess

An abscess is a serious bacterial infection that can spread if left untreated. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, and fever — call us right away.

Lost Crown or Filling

A missing crown or filling leaves your tooth vulnerable to decay and sensitivity. We can often replace or re-cement it the same day.

Soft Tissue Injury

Cuts or lacerations to the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums can bleed heavily. We assess the injury and provide appropriate treatment or referral.

Broken Denture or Appliance

A broken denture or orthodontic appliance can cause discomfort and affect your ability to eat. Bring all pieces in and we'll evaluate repair options.

Implant Failures

If flossing doesn't dislodge a stuck object, don't force it. We can safely remove it without damaging your teeth or gums.

What to Expect When You Call

We make the process as fast and stress-free as possible from the moment you call.

01

Call Us Immediately

Call (480) 595-9228 as soon as the emergency occurs. Describe your symptoms and we'll triage your situation and get you scheduled.

02

First Aid While You Travel

We'll walk you through any immediate steps to take at home — such as rinsing with warm salt water, applying a cold compress, or storing a knocked-out tooth.

03

Same-Day Evaluation & Treatment

Dr. Devi will examine you, take any necessary X-rays, and begin treatment to relieve pain and address the underlying problem.

First Aid While You Wait

These steps can help manage pain and prevent further damage before you reach our office. They are not a substitute for professional care — call us first.

Knocked-out tooth

Hold by the crown, rinse gently, keep moist in milk or saliva, and call us within 60 minutes.

Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove debris, and take OTC pain reliever. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum.

Cracked tooth

Rinse with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and avoid chewing on that side.

Lost crown

Keep the crown if possible. Dental cement from a pharmacy can temporarily re-seat it. Call us for a same-day appointment.

Abscess or swelling

Rinse with mild salt water several times a day. Do not apply heat. Call us immediately — this can become serious quickly.

Soft tissue injury

Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding. If bleeding doesn't stop after 15 minutes, go to an emergency room.
