If you’re unsure whether your situation is urgent, call us. It’s always better to be safe and get professional guidance.
At Southtown Family Dental, we understand that dental emergencies are stressful and often painful. That’s why we make every effort to see emergency patients as quickly as possible – often the same day.
When you call:
Dr. Richard Campos has extensive experience treating patients in both rural and urban communities through his work with the National Health Service Corps. You’ll receive compassionate, judgment-free care focused on solving the problem quickly and safely.
Persistent or sharp tooth pain often signals infection or advanced decay. Emergency treatment may involve removing decay, prescribing medication, or performing root canal therapy to save your tooth.
Time is critical. If treated quickly, a knocked-out tooth can sometimes be saved. Call us immediately and place the tooth in milk or saliva while you come in.
A fractured tooth can expose nerves and lead to infection. We may restore the tooth with a filling, crown, or other treatment depending on the severity.
When a restoration falls out, your tooth becomes vulnerable. We can repair or replace it quickly to prevent further damage.
Swelling, pus, or severe pain may indicate an abscess – a serious infection that requires urgent care. Prompt treatment prevents the infection from spreading.
Swelling in the jaw or face can signal infection. Immediate evaluation is critical.
