Emergency Dental Care
Dr. Kim and her team at The Dental Suite understand that dental emergencies can be unexpected and stressful. From severe toothaches to cracked, broken, or knocked-out teeth, we are dedicated to providing you with prompt relief. We are here for you and your family when you need it the most.
What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency involves any situation requiring immediate attention to relieve severe tooth pain, treat an infection, or save a tooth.
Common dental emergencies include the following:
- A severe toothache or oral pain
- A broken, chipped, or cracked tooth
- A loose, knocked-out, or dislodged tooth
- A dental abscess or swelling of the mouth
- Bleeding that won’t stop after an injury
- A damaged dental restoration, such as a crown or filling
If you believe you or a loved one experiences an emergency, don’t wait. Contact The Dental Suite for guidance. Dr. Kim and her team are pleased to offer same-day appointments and same-day treatments whenever possible.
If you or a loved one experience severe facial trauma or swelling, difficulty breathing, uncontrollable bleeding, or another life-threatening emergency, please dial 911 for immediate assistance.
What Can You Expect During Your Emergency Appointment?
At The Dental Suite, we understand that dental emergencies can be stressful. Dr. Kim and her team never spare any effort to ensure you are comfortable and stress-free while receiving the best possible care.
When you arrive at our Kent practice, Dr. Kim will evaluate your emergency, level of pain, and any visible signs of trauma or damage. She may take digital x-rays or other diagnostic imaging to determine the best course of action. While we provide same-day appointments, treating some dental emergencies may require follow-up appointments to provide you with the care you need. However, relieving your pain or discomfort is always our topmost priority.
Dr. Kim is committed to saving damaged teeth whenever possible, restoring their health and function. She may recommend restorative dentistry options such as root canal therapy or dental crowns to address your unique needs. If a tooth is damaged beyond repair, Dr. Kim may recommend extracting it to safeguard your smile. Our experienced dentist and dedicated team always recommend the most conservative solutions to get your oral health back on track.
