What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency can be any situation that requires immediate attention from a dental professional. Some common examples of dental emergencies include:

Severe toothache
Knocked-out tooth
Chipped or broken tooth
Lost filling or crown
Abscess or infection
Soft tissue injury (e.g. bitten tongue or lip)

It’s important to seek emergency dental care in the case of any of the above, or any other condition that is causing you pain or discomfort. Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to further damage and potentially, the loss of a tooth.

  Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. When other dentists were booking 3+ months out, they gave me an appointment 1 month out and then moved me up 2 weeks. Dental hygienist did an outstanding job and was very professional.

  Katie did a great job cleaning my teeth. I have had an irrational fear of the dentist most of my life but since coming to Northside I have really no anxiety.

  Always an excellent experience. Some dentist offices try to get you to pay for unnecessary dental work. Northside gets you in and out with no unnecessary "upsells."

  Dr. Ryan Hough and his team are the definition of perfection. I have an extremely difficult time, going to the dentist and have been shamed by previous dentist when I was a kid which really turned me off from going at all. Dr. Hough is so kind and understanding. He understands that it’s hard for some people and his literal response is “that’s okay, I’m happy you’re here now” and here’s what we can do to help you. I followed him from his previous practice and he’s literally the only dentist I trust. 10/10!

  Everyone is a complete pleasure to be around. They explain all that they are doing and make sure you are comfortable. I came to them with a mouth full of problems and I’m feeling much better about my teeth. It’s taken some time to get where we are at. But it took time for me to get my teeth where they were. The only thing I wish I had been better at my cleaning. They can’t fix stupid
