Dental emergency?
Pain, swelling, a broken or dislodged tooth? Call first thing and we'll do our best to see you the same day.
What counts as a dental emergency
Facial or gum swelling (possible infection)
Injury to the mouth or jaw
Dislodged tooth
Severe or worsening toothache
Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
Lost filling or crown
Bleeding that won't stop
When in doubt, call — we'll help you decide.
What to do right now
Swelling or a gum bump
Call today — that can be an infection.
A dislodged tooth
Pick it up by the crown (not the root), gently rinse, keep it in milk or against your cheek, and get to us fast — time matters.
Broken tooth
Save any pieces and rinse with warm water.
Pain
A warm salt-water rinse and over-the-counter pain relief until we see you.
Why Serene for an emergency
Calm, gentle care even on a bad day — and a dentist trained to fix the cause, not just numb the pain. We're in-network with Cigna PPO, and for other PPO plans we file your claims for you so you still get to use your benefits. Financing is available, and we offer an in-house membership plan for uninsured patients or those with HMO plans.
