Emergency Dental Care Benefits
Digital X-rays give Dr. Saxton an immediate, accurate diagnosis so treatment can start right away. On-site restoration equipment means many emergencies are resolved in a single visit instead of multiple trips. We reserve time in our daily schedule specifically for emergency patients, so pain doesn’t have to wait.
Emergency Dental Care Treatment Journey
Call our office as soon as you notice a problem. We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day, prioritizing severe cases like knocked-out teeth or uncontrolled bleeding. Dr. Saxton diagnoses the issue with digital X-rays, provides immediate pain relief, and walks you through next steps for lasting treatment.

We reserve time in our daily schedule for emergency patients and make every effort to see you the same day you call. For severe emergencies like knocked-out teeth or uncontrolled bleeding, we prioritize immediate care.
Your comfort is our priority, especially during emergencies. We use effective anesthetics and gentle techniques to ensure you're comfortable during treatment. Our goal is to relieve your pain, not add to it.
Retrieve the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it in the socket. If that's not possible, place it in milk or saliva and call us immediately. Time is critical—ideally, see us within 30-60 minutes.
Call our main office number for guidance even after hours. Our voicemail provides instructions for current patients experiencing emergencies outside regular business hours.
Many emergencies can be prevented with regular check-ups, wearing mouthguards during sports, avoiding chewing hard foods like ice or hard candy, and addressing dental issues before they become urgent problems.
