Emergency Dentistry

Not every dental issue needs same-day attention — but many do. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us and describe what’s happening. In general, you should seek emergency dental care in Bridgewater right away if you have:

• Severe, persistent tooth pain — especially pain that wakes you at night or doesn’t respond to over-the-counter pain relievers
• A knocked-out tooth — every minute matters; a tooth can often be saved if you’re seen within 30-60 minutes
• A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth — especially if the inner tooth is exposed or you feel sharp pain
• A lost filling or crown — the exposed tooth is vulnerable to further damage
• Swelling in your face, jaw, or gums — often a sign of infection that can spread quickly
• Bleeding that won’t stop — after an injury or extraction
• A dental abscess — a painful, pus-filled bump on the gum, often accompanied by fever or bad taste

If you’re in doubt — call. We’d rather see you and confirm everything is okay than have you wait through a weekend in pain.
